Carman couldnt even play in the biggest game of a football players career, the Super Bowl. Would Tretter miss the Super Bowl because of his knee? Tretter hasnt missed a game because of injury since he has been with Cleveland. He has missed 1 game and that was because of Covid. He has been dealing with a bum knee for the past 2 or 3 seasons yet he is still out there every game playing at an elite level. Now, I dont know if Tretter would miss time because of injury but I have more faith in him being able to play than I do Carman. I would certainly sign Tretter to a 1 or 2 year contract if the price was right.
There is a reason the Browns did not retain JC. He struggled to finish the season with long term injuries. Carmen had a surgery and is supposedly healthy and 8 years younger.
No doubt a healthy Tretter would be an upgrade but he is not and he hasnt been. What would be the impact of him missing every practice, even if he did play in the games? He would be our new center and we would need him at every practice and then some.
Tretter isnt playing for the vet minimum and with his great reputation why has no team signed him yet? Tretter is the better player, but a much bigger risk in my opinion, especially with a 2 yr contract.
