They have to match to keep him, as I understand it.
With what they're paying Bahktiari, that would mean a pretty huge chunk of their cap if they paid both.
I don't know for sure what it would take, but I would imagine that a league average starting LT contract would be too rich for their blood at one position.
I've watched a handful of GB games with Nijman at LT. He's not Willie Roaf, but he's just fine. Totally decent. Not a turnstyle. I'd say an average to above average LT. Kind of reminds me of Fisher in his style of play.
The reports I've read on him indicate about the same, most are impressed that he's played as well as he has, considering he was an UDFA. Excellent length, they helped him with chips early on, but he's been mostly on an island since the last half of last season. He's sort of their Prince Wanegho, but pressed into service, has played well.
