I think the best deal of the offseason will end up being signing David Edwards.

A 4 year $61 million dollar deal that is in reality a 3 year $45 million deal that we have an opt out after the ‘28 season. We also front loaded the guaranteed money instead of our usual kick the can method that $40 mil of the $45 mil total guaranteed gets paid his first 3 years so we could cut bait with only a $5 million dead cap hit when he will still be only 32 years old. He isn’t going to be a flashy guy that many talk about but that means he’s doing his job. Having a playoff tested vet at LG will only help Kelvin Banks. He’s going to be an anchor guy for the OL, he’s always available. Well worth the investment. Now if someone can just push Ruiz out the door we would be set.

I completely agree. His signing reminds me of when we signed Larry Warford. Was a solid starter for the lions then made the pro bowl all of his years with the saints

Board was really high on the OG in the 3rd, Wright, as someone that may be able to unseat Ruiz as the season goes on.

Not sure how much of that was looking for anyone with a pulse in hopes of finally moving on; and how much is because of his expected presence in the run game. Either way, whether it’s Wright or a FA next offseason; I suspect this is essentially Ruiz’s contract year and he’ll be cut this offseason.
