I'd rather have that money freed up for extensions for McDuffie and Karlaftis. Or Watson. Or Bolton. An upgrade on Danna long-term. A ball-hawking FS should a guy like Bates become available.
Or pretty much ANY other position on the football field other than the RG who is just an above average pass protector. Evidently the RB was the reason we couldn't run the ball -- give his money to a damn RB for all I care.
There's really no position apart from special teams that I'm LESS interested in spending at the top of the market on than a run-first RG.
There really isn't a single argument I can find that gets me anywhere close to on board with this.

For the record I am with you. However, depending on how it's structured, I don't think any of those players you list are off the table with a Trey Smith deal...as long as it's structured appropriately. Keep in mind 100+ million in cap space is easily achievable in 2026 (without pushing money down the road). 125+ million is easily achievable in 2027 (without pushing money down the road).
Let's see what it comes in at...if that's what Veach decides to do.
