He needs to be better but we can’t have guys taking up like $70m in cap space combined getting wrecked by dudes like Bryce Huff, Jalyx Hunt and Brandon Graham fresh off a torn pec.
They still got worked far more than they should have.
What are we expecting the AAV for Smith’s deal to be? If it’s anything north of $15m you’re talking about sinking nearly $55m/year on average into the OL just from C-RT.
Crees may be worth it but Trey and Jawaan are probably not.

Taylor's gone after this year, just like Thuney. I'd imagine the first year of Smith's deal will be a low hit, so these guys aren't going to cost that much this year, and even if they are it's just for one more year tops.
Regardless, Smith and Taylor didn't lose us that game any more than Mahomes or Kelce IMO. They played bad, but everybody did outside of ****ing Xavier Worthy. Maybe Creed played well too. I'm not going to let the left side being absolutely atrocious knock them any more than those other guys because of that.
At the end of the day, it was the SB, but it was one game. You don't build your entire team around that. The LT issue obviously has to be fixed after that disaster. Caliendo can never start another meaningful game ever again. Other than that, I think a lot of the SB reflection on these moves is an overreaction to one game at the end of the day.
