The more people pay him, the better the Comp Pick we receive when he leaves.
Right now, he's an eight to ten year offensive tackle. Pay him up front and let your own offensive line develop with time together.
Walk one's own walk, and that goes for the Dallas Cowboys. He'll have 5-8 more good years, buy in on the talent and when the price is actually cheaper.
True but the following year and only up to a 3rd. Now if you are saying it's dumb to take less than a 3rd I'd agree. And Stephen isn't known for getting the most when trading his player so your prob right but I'd try. Worst they can do is nothing. Besides the boys should be able to make a run in the playoffs unless something really goes wrong in which Id keep him till years end regardless.
Naw the media pays the bills now, for you watching the games...
I can't tell you that I know enough about the nuances of the position to agree or disagree. I think he's far more than a JAG and will be hard to replace. But, I can only point to the improvement that he's shown and not something specific in his game. I'm definitely not qualified to put pay to his play.
Get awesome Richard's out there and move on
Top Five? Pretty rarefied company.
Yep, and add that Biadasz is a FA and Zack is getting to the 'touching wood' age we need to maintain some continuity.
Exactly....an UDFA with no camp, no preseason and thrust in because of injuries....his rookie season was actually ok...and for what was going on in 2020 ok is far better than it shouldve been for him
You might be right. McGlinchey is viewed as a fine starter, but not necessarily a great player. In my opinion, Steele is pretty clearly the better player (pff would agree too). He is also two years younger. If he comes back from his injury the same player, he is going to definitely be in position to cash in.
Yea the injury makes it a little bit of a toss up, but he's as good as McGlinchey.
Acquiring a good player in free agency will lose you comp picks as well. So you're only other option is going after the scraps or drafting (like the Cowboys tend to do to keep all their comp picks).
Won't get it done.
You have no clue on Steele. PFF rates him high. Zack Martin sings his praises. The offense was great when he played the first 12 games of the year in '22. He's average as pass protector, but awesome as run blocker.
Steele is pretty much unanimously a top-10 right tackle. His PFF grade is approaching elite and he is still an ascending player. His ability in the run game is among the best in the league, while his pass blocking is average and improving every single season. People forget that he was a total developmental project and really a bit of a mess during his first year or two in the league. This is a player with freaky physical traits that have begun to translate into his on field play. You don't let that walk if at all possible.
