So in ‘23 it would be 3 3rds or 2 3rds & a 4th. Also I’m not letting Wyatt walk unless he gets an absolutely crazy contract offer from someone else. Dude is a different maker. Our run game changed when he was out. Hopefully Callahan helps keep our OL together by guys wanting to stay with him and will take slightly less deals for it We will have a number for Teller I think it is 13-15 million, I'm guessing he wants closer to 20. He is possibly going to be the bbeg or 2and best guard in the game, when we signed zeitler it was a the highest ever at gaurd and it got crapped on by zach Martin. He wants top $ Martin average was over 14 per year and that was 3-4 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is getting a lot of money on the ben h and we need to pinch $$. He we might get a 5th or a 6th for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibrown Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 18 minutes ago, FGK said: We basically don't need to draft anyone. If Hubbard is retained, we're two deep at every OL position with a quality starter AND a solid (or young and athletic) backup. It's on the assumption we trade teller for a 1.

Get guys who are upgrades over the likes of Hubbard and Harris, for starters. And give Forbes some competition since we really have no idea what he can do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't afford OBJ unless they plan to get rid of Godwin, which seems doubtful. And I would think they would just keep Antonio Brown as well. What Im wondering is how the hell do the Bucs afford OBJ and WHY. I understand they are likely losing Godwin if they dont tag him but goodness that offense has enough WRs. Not to mention that little thing called the salary cap unless they dont mind giving up both Barrett/Godwin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we want to continue to see Baker progress you need to keep investing around him so he stays in favorable situations. Cant go all Seahawks/Russell Wilson over here.

He has to play every game and be even more dominating than last year. Also for Martin he was 4x All-pro before he got his deal. Teller still has some way to go before he gets that massive pay day. Also if he is going to ask for that money, I would just franchise tag him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might do it for one year but I also would draft someone who could be his replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinebackerGod Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 We aren't drafting any OL. This isn't even a good OL draft in terms of Zone Blocking prospects. Give us all defense, with maybe a WR in there somewhere. If Teller leaves via FA, grab a guard in FA or the draft in 2022. We are loaded on that OL. It's the furthest thing from a priority right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have someone. I don't think we're giving up on Alex Taylor this quickly, nor do I think a late round pick would unseat him. Taylor has a great physical upside and now has experience in our system and scheme. Why give up on that guy for a late round rookie that would likely have the same grade? Also, I don't see any late round OT's that I like that could fit a zone scheme. There are an abundance of power tackles available, but nobody that strikes me as a great fit in a zone scheme. Some interiors, sure. But no tackles. I'm sure they're out there, but I think this is a weak class for zone blocking OT's to begin with.

MWil23 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 We'll see how the organization sees guys like Nick Harris, Drew Forbes, and Alex Taylor headed into the draft/off-season. They also re-signed "Some guy named Blake" (LOL BAKER). They still need some OT depth behind Hubbard IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdrawkcab321 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Harris looked terrible. I really hope he’s working on adding strength because he was getting pushed around like a child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
