But does the contract stipulate he's getting a team provided iPad, and that he consents to being monitored, etc.?

Agree with you, it just seems a bit messy with how they could go about monitoring and enforcing.

Every players gets a team provided tablet and teams can already monitor what guys do on them.

I’m going to laugh when Murray games the system by looping the film on the IPAD and not actively doing anything else while it’s on in the background after connecting the Bluetooth or HDMI cord to his TV and treats it like a screensaver.

He should have picked 25 year old Viagra Jones in the draft instead. 

Got better value for where I picked him

...though maybe not after seeing what SirA ripped himself off for in that trade

MD4L can't be thrilled with this, but chalk another one up in Blue's win column. I think he'll do really well at right tackle if he can stay in shape and on the field.

Just paving the way for Camden PFA Max Mitchell to sneak in at RT.

He performed well at LT so it’s not an issue. If he can play for an extended period, his prior film excites us.

Charles Cross wasn’t drafted as a contingency option.

He didn't, though. And even if he did, the fact that the team that used a top 12 pick on him (admittedly, not the same GM/coach) is going with George Fant at LT over him is definitely concerning enough that people are going to take that into account.

Maybe he should have been! EDIT: Unless you're saying you drafted Cross as an immediate starter at left tackle, in which case, excellent decision!

He was a big part of our personal gameplan to the title win in 2020. Our running strategy was mostly “run behind Becton” so his BDL and NFL impact are quite different.

Injures are what put Fant in the position as LT anyway. I do think Becton can seamlessly move back to LT if something happened. Ultimately, an on field Becton is what’s most important. Where’s he playing won’t be as important until we know he is playing.

“It don’t really matter to me,” Becton said, via Brian Costello of The New York Post. “I’ve just got to change my technique up. As long as I’m on the field, it don’t really matter to me. I just know I have to do different things on the right side than I do on the left. I’m still getting used to that. It’s a work in progress.”

though Saleh made clear that the move “doesn’t mean that Mekhi’s left tackle days are over.”

We’re all on the same page.
