Once upon a time Trent Williams wasn't tagged by the Niners and was allowed to hit the market. He used us as a negotiating tool and then ran straight back to the bay. OBJ was solid during the latter stages of the regular season and then in the playoffs. But as we saw with Wylie our interior is so good that we don't need all world guys at tackle to get the job done.
Thuney might want a new deal next year and Creed and Smith will be eligible for a new deal next year aswell so maybe Brett is reading the tea leaves and saying "let me get cheaper tackles now so we don't have huge decisions to make about our interior down the road"?? We'll see.
