Meh. I don’t think it’s buying low necessarily right now, but I think Garafolo was saying if he makes the leap we think he is primed to make.

Except elite LT money is $22M+, which only Trent Williams, Laremy Tunsil, and David Bakhtiari are making.  Ronnie Stanley comes in 4th at $19.75M.  I really don't see him exceeding $18M/year even with a huge year.

I think this contract looks much better in the coming years when Mailata comes into his own and the OT market inevitably gets much more expensive as the salary cap increases.

He played like an average at best starting LT in 2020, but he showed flashes of dominance. I don’t mind this deal, although clearly a gamble. 24 years old, still learning the game, athletic freak, and if he had a strong 2021 he’d cost a few mil/year more. Hoping his camp was great to inspire pulling trigger early on re-signing.

 

For non-Eagles fans I’m sure this is big head scratcher and I don’t blame them.

Dallas Goedert's agent has to be shaking his head

A lot of money for a guy who was "competing" for the starting gig 2 weeks ago, but it will probably look like a bargain a year from now. He's still only 24 years old. Pretty wild. His 4th year, not just in the NFL, but playing organized football. 7th round flyer who never played football to 64 million dollar franchise LT in 4 years.
