But isn't the franchise tag money the same for LT as it is for G? So he signs the RFA (1st rd $6.8 mil; 2nd rd $4.9 mil; RFR $3.0 mil), plays a year at G and shows convincing versatility, then the Rams can either franchise him at OL $ or sign him long term...or somebody else can sign a LT/G in free agency after 2024.
Agree. But let's be honest here ... You can be a little bit of a Diva.
It is, if somebody tags a center they get the same as a LT which this year is $21 million
That's... a Catch-22.
That's what I mean.
Oh yeah absolutely bet on yourself. That's why I wasn't shocked when they said Dotson and Shelton will test free agency.
The franchise tag money may be the same which is great from the Rams perspective. But not necessarily from Jackson's perspective as players typically don't want to be franchised. Getting hurt during that season could cost them millions.
If you were entering your unrestricted contract year, you would certainly prefer to start 15-17 games at any position vs being relegated to a backup role in the position of your choice
Of course you'd rather play than sit. But if you're playing you'd rather play the money position until you are beaten out.
Combine? Where did I mention the Combine? Looking at a consensus of Mocks, of the (5) ; Alt, Fashanu, Fuaga, Latham, Fautanu, .... Fautanu is the one that is not consistently in the top 18
I keep seeing him listed as the second tackle to get picked.
OK ...I don't know what source that is .... here are 9 that I pulled from a google search for Top 50 lists, and not my usual suspects...
Go back to page 13. You can see what I replied to. You said Fashanu
I see now. Thanks for correcting me. At least I tried to clarify by listing school name in brackets
