Cable been the one coach aside from the TE coach who left to actually trust in development of young players so we’ll see I'm sure he did look good in practice blocking great DT's such as PJ Hall, Mo Hurst, and Kendall Vickers. Just like Dallin Leavitt looked like Eric Weddle 2.0 covering Zay Jones, Trevor Davis, and Marcell Ateman at practice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd have to play at a Pro Bowl / All-Pro level to get significantly more than 4.25M APY. There are 13 C making 9/Y or more, they obviously aren't all ALL PRO/pro bowl guys. More than double his salary would be significant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m intrigued as to what Martin got though, cos surely he is the backup now? No number on Martin at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnobili Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) this is just incredibly unnecessary at this point in the process before he's taking consistent reps with the 1's in camp or seeing him play even adequately well in a real game scenario. he was going to be RFA after the season anyway. could have just slapped a second round tender on him and kept him cheaper anyway.

bucksavage1 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 So what happens if Martin beats him out at Center? We have an expensive back up lineman? Can't say Im in favor of it but I guess they are trying to get ahead of the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humble_Beast Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 sends a statement on how highly they think of James. You can cross center off draft needs too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than double his salary would be significant. I think it's highly unlikely that he plays so well this season that he more than doubles his value from $4.25M APY to over $9M APY. Either way though when we signed Darren Waller to his extension we did so in October after seeing he could be a Pro-Bowl level player. Why sign James now when he has 1 NFL start and only 116 snaps in his career? When you could've seen how he played in the preseason and the first few weeks of the season and given him a similar extension. Even if it was $1M or $2M more, I'd rather pay $5M-$6M APY to a guy that I've seen play well than $4M to an unknown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cable has also been the only coach to show he can coach these guys up(TE coach as well but he left) His biggest fail and only fail with the Raiders has been Parker and hey can’t always hit a home run.
