RedandPewterReturns Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I honestly so happy I was wrong in the draft evaluation about Wirfs. I thought he could be a starting OL guy but i thought like most iowa Lineman, he'd probably kick inside at Guard. Glad I was wrong. Elite Right Tackle already in his first season. Snubbed from the Pro Bowl too. Awesome pick Jason Licht. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think we can move him no problem (been saying we should move him throughout the season lol) if we can just get a solid tackle in the draft or FA and let Dsmith walk our offense would be in good hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravishingone Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Wirf s agent I m sure is pushing for a chance at the move to LT. If he transitions, he can reset the LT market in 3 yrs. Even if he struggles, he can just go back to RT and get top 5 RT money. There is minimal risk either way for Wirfs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m fine with leaving Wirfs at RT and locking him down there. I’m also cool with experimenting and switching sides too. Either way Bucs win because its been a long time we had an elite Tackle. Nowadays its equally as important to have a good RT. Pass rushers are being asked to come from both sides now. This pass happy league has made it important to get 2 functional tackles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t try to mess with something almost perfect. There is really only negative that can happen and as it was stated, you need two good tackles because good pass rushers come from both sides. He’s not by any means getting it easy or being wasted at RT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see them going status quo for next season drafting a tackle prospect before day 3. I know it won t be popular with the fan base, but pretty confidenr this will be the plan. Say it with me "D Smith 1 more yr". 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indifference Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 2 hours ago, BucsDraftGeek47 said: I hear you But then what do we do at LT? Extend Smith for a multi-year deal and front load the contract. Move on after 2021 season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An extension would come with more guaranteed money. Which would probably mean he sticks around through at least 2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta figure out the next one thru draft or free agency or lower D Smith salary. That’s why Licht gets paid the big bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
