New here, but here are some of my thoughts.
Joe Thuney got 16 million per year, 48 guaranteed. That is a MASSIVE offer. Just because we 'low balled him doesn't mean it was an awful offer. Just much lower than the offer he got. We probably offered 14 per year with 32 guaranteed or something like that.
Also, personally my MAIN priority coming in was to resign Carl Lawson. That is still in the process of happening and that is a huge step if we can get it done. I've read some peoples thoughts on here about Carl and Will being average players and I literally had to laugh out loud. Carl is 26 years old and isn't even at his peak. He is going to command around 15 million per year. Personally, I'd let Will walk because he's getting older. Try to sign someone like Troy Hill or Ronald Darby.
Yes, we missed on Thuney. He is an elite Offensive guard. However, we have MULTIPLE holes across the oline and we have to remember that we started the WORST guard combo in the NFL last year. We just need upgrades over them to get us to average. An average Oline goes a long way. We don't need to be paying market setters to have a workable Oline where Joe doesn't get hurt.
As of now, there is no reason to panic as we still have multiple avenues to take and different options on the table. If we lose Carl that will be a HUGE domino and will severely hurt us.
