If they could pay him like Boling (or even slightly higher) at like $5.2m/yr or maybe even $6m/yr, they would.
But now you had two guards sign $8m/yr deals, and one guard sign an $11.7m/yr deal just this offseason, wrecking the balance of the market.

As for the original point of the proposed starting lineup, I think it's pretty accurate other than......
-I wouldn't be surprised if it's Kroft instead of Eifert (due to Eifert's surgery)
-HB or FB instead of Boyd (Hewitt started 12 games last year, they like having a HB/FB on the field for the first snap)
Personal wishes, rather than realistic expectations...
-Someone other than Bodine at C, unless Bodine shows up ripped from hardcore offseason workouts.
-ANYONE other than Nugent. Dude is a perennial finisher in the 20s in FG accuracy.
Nugent has a 82 percent career field goal percentage completion in comparison Justin tucker the second most accurate kicked in history has a 88 percent field goal percentage
