Don't forget that we thought we could replace Willie Roaf - and look how that turned out for us...

He left 2001 - we won the 2009 Season Championship - not exactly a springboard move...

Well Loomis kind of asked for this with the contract they gave Evans. Nicks grades out higher than Evans so it is only right that he asks for more money. Personally I think it's too much money but all this started when you overpaid for Evans.

Because if Nicks gets the tag, as expected, there'd be more leverage available with Nicks for draft picks...

It would be a 10 million cap hit if we traded him. Losing Evans and losing 10 million in cap isn't worth what we'd get for him in draft picks.

Agreed with the 1st part, but not the 2nd.

I don't think we overpaid for Evans. He was the best OG in the NFL when we signed him to that contract.

Its what happens when you have the two best players at a position on the same team.
