If it would cost 8-10m to bring Reiter back, I’d much rather spend 12-13 to upgrade to a guy that a better pass protector (Reiters strength) and be a massive upgrade in the running game. If we can bring Reiter back on a reasonable deal (4-5m per year) I think that may be a wise option to pursue...but he will likely get more than that as a rock solid pass protecting center.
This team has been weak in short yardage runs for years now and signing Linsley would fix that problem. It would also give us a center that can single block good DL to open up double teams elsewhere. That changes how Heck is able to design his schemes and how Andy calls plays.
I also mentioned how getting an elite center at 12-13m is a huge bargain. Center is a position that contracts haven’t caught up to on field value. Imo maybe I’m off there. OTs getting 20 and centers getting close to half that isn’t consistent with line impact.
In 2 years, I see top centers getting 15m+ per year and signing Linsley at top of the current market is a bargain.
