The Cowboys wanted him to return as a BACK UP, and apparently no other team was willing to pay him starter money.
I tend to think that with 32 teams bidding a player generally gets what he is worth. So excuse me for not being thrilled about a guy we got for $2.6 million this year. That is less than John Miller got paid, and just $500K more than we are paying Alex. I was not a big fan of Miller, and some have said that Su'a-Filo will fit our blocking scheme better, but I sure don't see him as a big upgrade.
I am sure Su'a-filo will get a chance to compete for a starting job, but I hope to hell are coaches don't already have him written is as first string.
And I am not pimping Redmond for the starting spot. I am just remining people that he is an option. I rarely see his name mentioned when talking about potential starters at OG.
