SpacemanSpiff Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Where do we stand on him? I'm not going to lie: I don't think he's worth as much money as he pulls for the team, and I think the results (our QB being one of the most sacked in the league) really speak for themselves. Would have much rather kept Jack Conklin on the right side than Lewan on the left, frankly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanRedd Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I think a 3yr deal with the 1st yr guaranteed an extension lowers his cap hit 3 yr 55 mill somewhere in that range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttitansfan4life Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I can’t see Lewan going anywhere. His play is still top 10 amongst LTs. He’s probably overpaid but he’s by far our best pass-blocker on the OL. I think Radunz is a future LT but he’s going to have to start a season a RT. Lewan played RT his rookie year while we had Roos. Sure it won’t be Radunz rookie season, but it might as well be as he didn’t really have a season his final college season. He needs to get his *** in the weight room and live there this offseason. That would just leave a hole at LG assuming they cut Saffold and resign Jones(which they need to). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanSlim Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Do you guys remember hearing Trey Hendrickson name on Saturday? I don’t because Lewan still is a high quality LT even if he’s slightly overpaid. I say keep him for another year then go from there, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly overpaid but at his best, he’s a pretty good LT. His *** just needs to stay healthy and quit doing dumb **** like concussing himself against the Bills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twotonebluenation Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Love him. Want him to stay. Idk. Ben Jones or him. It feels like one or the other has to go. My gut feel tells me to resign Ben Jones, build around him being the center and leader. I really am torn, because Taylor was a huge reason we are what we are today. It would hurt to see him get cut. I think we need to start shaking things up to grow. To me though. It’s most definitely time to move on from Saff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeluxx3 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Not gonna act like I’m an expert at evaluating OL, but Lewan still seems like a pretty strong LT to me that - and I’ve said this before - is athletic enough to have a solid second wind. Obviously it’s important to see how he continues to recover with the ACL. I think we should hang onto him. But man I really want Ques to be replaced next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 The fact that his worst game of his career in the opener, owned up to playing like ****, then worked hard to have a better season from then on shows he’s still got a great work ethic. He always comes off as one of the big leaders in the locker room too. And tackles are expensive anyway. Keep him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do need to free up some money somewhere, but I think with guys like Lewan, it can be freed up with an extension. If money is gonna be freed up on the OL, it’s going to be with Saffold. We have a ton of guys that could slide into that spot: Brewer, Lamm, Radunz, or Quessenberry. All are probably downgrades, but that’s what you do to get money.

I do think it’s time to move on. Guys a warrior but for his own sake I think he should think long and hard about retiring. but the left side of this OL is gonna be a B to replace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's replacing Quessenberry and Nate Davis that is the problem. I'm willing to give Davis somewhat of a mulligan for have Quess there, but he wasn't good this year.

ttitansfan4life Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Davis played just fine the 2nd half of the season despite having garbage beside him. I’m not looking to replace a guy on a rookie contract who was getting all-pro votes just a season ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
