I wouldn't count on either to start this year, but I could see having them compete for a spot in '23 if they do well as backups this year. It's partially why I think we'll see a staggered approach on the contract lengths. 

Tomlinson, Williams, Bozeman, and Daniels (not familiar with Colbert) have all been mentioned as guys that'll command $10M(ish)/year and are all looking at 3-4 year deals. As much as I'd like to see 3 of those guys getting signed, from a cap perspective, I don't see signing 3 guys like that being good long-term. You combined those with a possible Jonah extension and it's too much allocated to one position group. 

Every projection i see is 7-10. And I'm more for the 3-5 year deals on these OL. Continuity, good health, youthful. I see the value of an investment on those more than an Armstead or Scherff. And if you can get 3 for an average of 24/year, it allows you to sign other pieces (Bates, Uzo, etc.) while you can still plan on Jonah's future extension. But that's just my opinion.
