Not buying it, but if that really is the case, we still only have 1 T spot to be concerned with, and that's always been the case.

Smith would be getting plenty of help while Taylor can be lined up on an island at RT.

super penalty happy, but honestly that's a solid pick up. he's a much better pass blocker than run blocker.

there's no way he's our starting lt though. either depth or competing at rt.

Very solid move considering what's out there. Provides more time for the youngsters to develop and prove themselves

Gonna have to go through that whole acclimation phase for Mahomes again, like when OBJ took over at LT.

Niang's had his turn. This camp better be stellar or he's heading to Canada. Or his couch.

I wish we had just kept Orlando Brown

I think its Winebago who isnt developing. Niang has started at times when healthy.

The Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl with starting tackles that were both among league leaders in pressures given up by an OT.

Yea, there's also that.

He'll shuffle it during OTAs and the start of camp though.

I smell a jones extension coming

We don’t have enough with the cap right now.

We have 3.8 mil in cap space. That’s including the Jet and money for the draft picks

There’s no “get the young tackles ready and ease them in” is what I’m saying

Who starts the year will finish unless injured
