option would be cheaper than a new deal, if Ruiz continues to improve

How many guards make $15/per?

What kind of season would he have to have to make someone pay him more than that?

What kind of comp pick would we get if someone signed him for that?

I looked up spotrac yesterday and Ruiz’s $14+ mil option would have put him in the top 10 AAV for NFL guards. If we end up signing him to a long term deal, I highly doubt it’s in that range.

Highest paid guards make $20m per, Andrus Peat makes $11.5m per and carries the 11th highest AUV

Ruiz has 40 starts in the league and is still only 23. The first few guards off the board this year in the draft are all 23- Avila, Bergeron, Torrence. Cody Mauch is 24.

Point is, Ruiz was gaining some helium with his improved play before the injury. Still young and can play center as well. The recovery from the ankle will loom huge for him.
