You might be confused. That usually applies to running backs. OL usually have a long shelf life.

Zach Strief deal includes 1styear base salary of $900k, plus the $5.5 million signing bonus (total of $12.3 first 3 yrs), per league source.

Looks like year 1 will be a 2 million cap hit. Thats fantastic.

.....when he played almost the whole season with a severe leg injury. Every other season since he became starting right tackle is pretty much just like last year. Rock solid.

He wasn't a world beater the year before that either. I don't want to hear the he was hurt talk. If he was hurt he should have sat out. He's only been starting what, 3 years? I don't disagree, last year was pretty good. Definitely the best I've seen of him. But 30 isn't a good age for somebody who wasn't great to begin with. Just okay.

Y'all know I don't like him, I don't even know why y'all argue with me. Lol.

Yeah, there was a guy here who didn't like Brees or Payton several years ago too. He doesn't post here anymore.

If there was no movie about Oher nobody would know who he was, bottom 5 starting tackle in this league.
