Probably give it to him now, he retires next year, and we save whatever cap

Strief started every game at right tackle last season while earning PFF's No. 10 tackle grade out of 76 qualifiers.


Backup? Retire? He is 33, he likely has a few more years left in him. Guy like Andrew Whitworth is 35, for reference. Sure, there is no where to go but down. But damn, how soon do we forget how hard it was to find a reliable tackle.

Strief is totally taken for granted by our fans. im not sure there is a guy in the SP era that has been brushed off and almost disrespected as much as Strief. We are talking about a 7th Rd pick going into his 12th year with our organization, the last 5 or 6 which he has been our most consistent and often times best OL. shite, the last few years he has graded as one of the BEST in the league. He doesn't mouth off, get in trouble, and he's out and about in the city more than ANY other Saint probably ever. Not to mention he's investing his money in the city with the brewery.

If Carl frickin Nicks gets in the Saint HOF, Strief may very damn well get a statue out front.
