Read: I'm not paying Cam Robinson $20M per for 3 years when I can get the same production or 80-90% of it for way less and be able to grab another asset.
I'll gladly eat crow if I'm wrong - but I'd be absolutely shocked to see us get in a bidding war for Stanley or Robinson with teams with virtually unlimited cap space.
I personally don't think there's much of a difference between Stanley/Robinson and the 2nd tier, especially when you factor in money and injury history.
We'll see what Veach thinks in the coming days/weeks.

I hear you.
The left tackle problem is a tough one and a more pressing need than most for me because it’s a problem that has cascading effects that diminishes the value of a lot of other players on the roster.
Poor LT play is diminishing Mahomes value because he isn’t able to play up to his massive contract when he doesn’t trust the tackle, runs around like a maniac and doesn’t see the field.
When that causes Mahomes to play below his value it subsequently causes guys like Worthy to lose value when Patrick can’t get them the ball because he’s too busy bailing on pockets and dropping his eyes to see him streaking open downfield.
When you add all that up, all of a sudden you’re losing a TON of value on offense because one position is a mess.
I guess I’m not breaking any new information here, but it does illustrate how imperative it is that we fix this this offseason, or at least stabilize it to where the offense can function.
