bucsfan333 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Sign a guard like Andrew Norwell for ~$12M per year or Josh Sitton for ~$8M per year -OR- draft Quenton Nelson at seven and pay him ~$3.8M? All three are plug and play guys. The $5M-$10M difference could be the deciding factor in whether or not we can resign our own guys in a couple years. And Marpet is gonna get a similar (or higher) contract when it's time. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No gurantee Norwell comes here either. Heres the thing: we are going to extend Ali Marpet. At center it’ll cost 6 million. If it’s st guard possible 8 million. We need to get a left guard. No doubt about it. Looks like we’re keeping sweezy. Im not sure what licht plans to do but he’s done a good job evaluating OL players coming out of the draft. Denver could easily sign Cousins and take the Mauler Nelson at 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucsfan333 Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Zeitler just signed a $12M contract to play guard in Cleveland. Linder just signed a $10M contract at center. Marpet is gonna get paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDandPEWTER Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Yeah but can’t risk everything and bet Nelson is there at 7. After listening to Dotson’s interview with Kaufman, I think marpet is staying at Center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red has a point about, you never know if Nelson will be there. Sittion can play 3+ years left and we can use the draft pick in the first on another position whether that be CB, FS, DE, DT or even trade back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil' Shorty Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 To simply answer your question @bucsfan333 I would sign Norwell. Give me a lock down G for the next 5-7 years to pair with Marpet. I truly think our GM will be able to maneuver the cap as need be to sign our guys but we need to invest in our OL and get the best guys who won’t be patchwork. Additionally, I think we’ll move back from 7 and gain some draft picks, so that goes into consideration as well when I made my above comment. However, if we were to sign Norwell and stay at 7 and Nelson was BPA. I’d draft him. Norwell-Marpet-Nelson. Jameis should put up all pro numbers and we should be able to run whenever we want to. I’m all about the lines this off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Honestly, I wouldn't mind any of the three... To answer the question though, I'd prefer Norwell. He's an elite guard and just coming into his prime. Sutton is still very good, but there is definitely more upside with Norwell, Sitton has plateaued and will be trending downward here soon... How about this scenario. We sign either Norwell or Sitton. In the draft the board plays out to at #7 Nelson is the BPA. Do you pull the trigger? I would, that would give us the makings of an elite interior line. Similair to what Cowboys had... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDandPEWTER Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 CAn you pay marpet, Norwell and if Smith balls out, him too at LT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty much the question I'm asking. Norwell at $12M, Marpet at $11M, and D Smith at $10M puts us at $33M a year on just those three. Add in Evans' $18M and Jameis' $28M and we're looking at ~$79M in just those five guys. That's a lot of cheddar invested in just a few guys on offense. We could save ~$10M by drafting a guard.

REDandPEWTER Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 LT would cost more than a Center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that the best players don't always make the most money. But I don't think D Smith is gonna cost much more than $10M. Either way, we're still looking at ~$80M invested in five offensive guys if we spend big on a guard in free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know our payroll but it could be sky high if we don’t invest the $ properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDandPEWTER Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Would marpet. Really cost 11 million? No pro bowls. No all pro selections. I get 6-8 or 9 million range. But 11? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with the cap going up every year, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect him to make close to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
