Definitely not quite sure why they felt the need to go at it with 3 years, but there are outs in the contract....and maybe they see something we don't? They must have better glasses.
It will look "slightly" better after this first year. His pay goes down some after that, and I'm sure salaries will go up overall. It's just man...Bobby Hart? The only reason we don't hate this guy is because he's not Ogbuehi.
This is the guy who will be paid like a good RT in 2019, and he'll probably be around for 3 years. Possibly starting for a good chunk of that. As someone who values line play (you do too) I'm not happy.

Super undervalued position, if you ask me.
Pretty sure that ranking is based on his 2019 salary compared to other right tackles. Not his average for the 3 years. The last 2 years are more reasonable. It's the first year that's pretty out of whack.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
