Seems like an overpay. Mailata hitting makes up for the miss with Dillard. But it surely must be tempting to let Stoutland work with a developmental prospect and turn him into a player, ala Mailata, rather than pay top tier money to him. What could Stoutland do with Guyton or Mims? Or a guy from round 2?

You don't mess around with LTs. The Eagles just had their HOF C retire, and their most-likely HOF RT only has a few years left. You've got a 27 year old LT who is very good and played for pennies for a few years and a GM who is willing to push every dime he can into future years. You need to keep him locked up.

He was a top 5 tackle in the league in both 2021 and 2023.

Strangely enough his down year 2022 was the year they made the super bowl
