Getting back to OBJ....
Veach had an offer for OBJ but reports are that he and his agent wanted more guarantees and NO FLUFF years at the end to make it seem like his average yearly salary was the top LT money when actually he could of been cut after I think 3 years(couple cheap years and then cut before the high priced years kicked in).
I mean like every team for the most part designs contracts like this. To me it signals that even if a contract is agreed on it will be very hard for Veach to make 2023 or 2024 "Cheap" years because of what OBJ wants.
If this is the case I believe Veach should just Tag OBJ, see if a team will overpay in a trade and if not just have OBJ play 2023 once again on the franchise tag while ALSO drafting a OT early in the draft with thoughts of him playing RT his rookie year. The following off season if yet again a contract can't get figured out, OBJ walks and we just get a 3rd round comp pick while that rookie either slides over to LT OR we keep him at RT and find another LT if needed.
Seems more and more like this is what happens.
Now I know about 20 people are about to post "OBJ will sit out and not play on the tag again". Well ok if he does...he gets ZERO pay and his overall value will go down. Just don't see that happening.
