Yeah, you almost have to think it was a Carl Peterson/John Tait sort of exchange where the parties got heated at some point.

I don't know how else you just decide "**** it...we're done..."
Have to think Veach talked to a lot of folks about a tag/trade and they probably don’t want to pay him what he wants either.

I'm sure that was part of it.

But it doesn't mean you don't put the tag on him anyway and try to leverage a trade out of it. He doesn't have to play on the thing; you can trade his rights and in the process give him and his agent authority to discuss the matter with other teams.

You can do that whole thing pretty cordially.

Just doesn't seem like it's worthwhile for him to pull a Derek Carr "Nah, I'm not gonna do any of that. If you won't pay me X, you're gonna have to cut me because I'm not discussing contracts as part of a franchise tag/trade and I'm not playing on the tag here..."

Seems unnecessarily combative.

I'd say it's either trade for one, or draft one.
And even if they choose draft one, it doesn't mean that they're waiting till 31 to do it.

This didn't just happen on a whim. I'd imagine Veach has been preparing for this situation for 2 years now.

SIGN JASON KELCE AND MOVE CREED TO LT!

Could also bring in a nice, shiny new FA

Agent is probably being a real **** about it. Dude has never had an NFL client before.

We're also dealing with a kid like OBJ who has an agent who has never done this before. For all we know, OBJ picked this guy because he'll dig his feet in the sand based on what OBJ wants...with no compromise.

But then again, this dude hired an agent that wasn't even an agent. There's no telling how unreasonable they're being.

There's something gonna happen. Pat coming into his prime, they ain't throwing Taylor Lewan patchwork LT in there.

smithandrew051 03-06-2023 02:13 PM
Maybe we will re-sign OBJ and move him to RT?

We can’t pay you elite LT money, but we CAN pay you elite RT money! It’s almost too obvious.

carcosa 03-06-2023 02:13 PM
Maybe Willie Roaf is coming out of retirement after getting The Irishman surgery to become 30 years younger

It's gonna be so weird when Brown and Wylie are both on the Bears.

I could see it for a year as they draft a tackle at 31. Give him the Fisher treatment for a year and swap over.

Both tackle spots addressed for 2023.
