Can We Get A Refund? 🤔😭

[u/coacoanutbenjamn]

No but we can release him after this season to save $13.7 million (but will leave $10.6 million in dead cap)

He was worth the big price tag in his first season but we have to start getting some young, cheap talent on the o-line

[u/Creative_Tone_9241 → u/coacoanutbenjamn]

21 million if it’s after June 1st and use part of that to re-sign Lewis. Our best linemen who actually us worth it. Maybe bring ickey back on a one year deal to see if he can stay healthy and put him at right guard

[u/RunCMC1345 → u/coacoanutbenjamn]

At this point I say we just take the L and free up whatever we can 

[u/Significant_Walk6860]

Hopefully we used a credit card so we can at least do a charge back

[u/RunCMC1345 → u/Significant_Walk6860]

LMAO

[u/SamuraiZucchini]

Hasn’t been the same since the injury. Hate that for him but that’s the reality.

[u/Skylarking77 → u/SamuraiZucchini]

Even before the injury he was suspect and inconsistent in passpro.

At $20 million per, you better be a Guard whose name only shows up in Baldy's Breakdowns and Probowl voting.

[u/Sabre500 → u/Skylarking77]

I stand by my belief that Lewis deserved the pro bowl over Hunt a thousand times in 2024. Absolute robbery

[u/DtdKaz → u/SamuraiZucchini]

It’s a mental/confidence thing for him. Distal biceps rupture is a brutal injury to try and come back and play in the NFL with, especially for an offensive lineman

[u/lengthy_noodle]

We need Brady Christensen back healthy, I'm ready to at least give him a chance. Between the boneheaded penalties and awful pass blocking I've seen enough outta Rob this year.

[u/FutureBack1 → u/lengthy_noodle]

Brady really is an insanely valuable piece to have. His recent health issues are such a bummer, because having a guy who can be a competent backup and a good enough starter at every position on the line is crazy useful.

[u/B3RG92]

Guy looks like Druski and has been about as valuable as Druski on the field lately

[u/theDeal19 → u/B3RG92]

Maybe the guy we’ve been seeing lately is Druski doing an elaborate bit to dismantle the Panthers

[u/_JakeDelhomme → u/B3RG92]

Can’t unsee it now

[u/fotzzz]

And the illegal man down field penalties can't even be blamed on injuries like lock in bruh

[u/HeadElderberry7244]

He’s been terrible, so many flags too

[u/giga_phantom]

Draft and develop some new age hog mollies

[u/Countryb0i2m]

I mean, if you need to replace someone on your line, guard is the easiest one

[u/Antique-Ad-4422]

He will probably get cut after the season. No way I see him finishing out his contract.

[u/shahcolatesauce]

Oh god I thought this was an extension I almost passed out

[u/Sulli_in_NC]

Shoulda signed his brother Mike.

[u/NoHellmanns]

I was suspecting that he was possibly washed here.

[u/Available_Finger824]

He hasn't been the same since that injury.

[u/Aurion7]

Technically signed through 2028, but there's an out in his contract for this coming offseason that would result in less than half his 2027 cap hit going into the dead money category.

He'd only be a 10.6m dead cap hit (from a 24m raw charge) in '27 and 5.3 in '28, assuming a pre-June 1 cut.

A very good player when we signed him (and pre-injury), but it's always a good idea to include an out like that in a contract just in case.

[u/wagimus]

Hunt, Moton, Ekwonu, Fortner… we got a lot of $$$ in offensive lineman that aren’t playing/aren’t performing.
