So we're at the appeal to authority part of the cope, I see. None of us are qualified to be in an NFL scouting department so there's no point discussing anything, ever, apparently.

Saying, "I don't think I like the idea of paying Smith at a record setting deal." Throwing a hissy fit is silly and not having a discussion. |

I don’t love the thought but I’ll also be the guy banging the drum all summer that it doesn’t matter who they **** they sign, if they nail the draft they’ll be back in the Super Bowl and probably multiple times over the next few years
If they whiff bad in this draft, they won’t make it next year Again, Philly has been paying everyone for years now. The reason they won this year was the recent drafts. Just as was the case for KC in the years prior. Fun to banter and debate contract signings, ultimately isn’t going to be the big needle mover. |

For the most part, draft picks generally don't pay enormous dividends in the first year. You might get something really good from round 1 and some day 2 contributors but not huge needle movers. What we got from 2022 is strangely abnormal. This team is likely to be a product of what happens in FA in 2025. The draft will pay bigger dividends or have a more profound negative effect down the road. The only advantage to trying to sign your own is the lack of competition from the open market and you get more time. I still think you need to be selective in who you try to bring back and at what price. |

While I’ve been clear that I want a rookie contract at RG, hard for me to have too strong of an opinion without knowing the plan for LT.

And acting like this is based off one report is disingenuous at best. There's been more smoke about extending Trey Smith in particular than all the other pending free agents combined. Hell, out of Veachs own mouth today he's the top priority currently.

Could Vern Beach sign Smith and then trade him for draft picks?

Copied from another thread. About the 7 minute mark really explains the thought process here

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. |

“It comes down to him setting his feet and trusting the protection up front.”
Yeah. No need to analyze this one any further..

Yep. Couple that with his earlier comment about LT being one of the priorities along with DL and it's pretty clear he's going to come out swinging for their top available OT early.
