Strange... we so seldom over-pay players.

I think he can back-up all over the line and guys like that are hard to find. That might be why.

Two Million a year is a little steep for a back up. Even though he can play three spots on the line it doesn't mean he can play them adequately. I jokingly refer to him as Calamity(phonetically that is what I see). Anyway maybe he can develop into a good player. Still. Two million?

I feel like Lelito could play RG relatively well but I want to bring in two starting guards preferably through free agency. Yes. We can afford it. We definitely need to sign two starters and draft someone to compete for a starting spot. Protecting Drew is my number one priority. Yes. Even before defense. Which is why I want free agent guards.

Wait, two million dollars for a back up. That can't be right.

Solid Back up and we need those fellas. Let's keep this stuff in perspective. They didn't sign him thinking we're going to the Superbowl with this one. But Saints talking about JR Sweezy and if Senio works really hard you could have a pretty good interior O Line for little money

Year 1 is 1.3 million.

Thats 20th in the NFL.

Does anyone think he's the 20th best LG in the NFL?

Its about the 40th highest contract for all OG's.

Wow, we overpay again.

It is a little pricey since we could've retained him for half of that with a cheap RFA tender. However, Kelemete can play all five positions on the O-Line if need be and I think that's a very valuable quality to have on the team. Plus I have a feeling that we're not going to bring back Lelito... No reason behind it; just a hunch.
