And just so we're clear-
I don't really have a strong opinion on re-signing Smith vs. not. I don't know what the other plans are. If you can tell me the whole plan, THEN I'll have an opinion.
I see multiple paths, and I don't know if I even have any idea what paths Veach is seeing. I'm just sitting on my couch, digesting my lovely wife's spaghetti and meatballs.
When you simply look at the whole picture of the offensive line, ages, and how many years are left on the large contracts we have, it's not hard to see a fairly easy path to affording, say, an Alaric Jackson AND a Trey Smith when you consider that Thuney is 33 and about done with his deal and Taylor can be cut in '26. So, it's not crazy.
I also see why they may NOT want to go as high as Smith might go.
I'm also sure regardless that Veach has a line in the sand with ALL of these guys that he's not going to go over AND a few pivot plans to go to if that comes to pass.
So relax. It'll be ok.
