I don't hate the Pugh contract TBH. 16th highest avg dollars per year of every OG is fairly accurate IMO.
Agreed. I don't get the Pugh hate from some. He's solid, reliable and his contract is average as you say.

If they can convince both to take half, I'd sign it in a heartbeat. They have to hope that Fitz will take a big discount, (he has given some discounts, but not recently) or retire. It would be catastrophic for the franchise if he were to play for another team.
I said that Fitz wasn't worth the $11M he got this year and got a lot of pushback on here. Next year I wouldn't pay Fitz more than $4M take it or leave it. If another team is willing to spend more than that on a 38 year old WR then have at it.
I am a little concerned that Jones decline pre injury is a sign of things to come. Seems like a risk to spend $20M on him or extend him. Wonder what the trade market for him would be?We all have to remember that Chandler Jones will not be a 20 mil cap hit next year. 10 at most and 5 mil is dead space at the least. He will want an extension and we will want to give him one. Both sides are motivated.
