Jones is fine, we still suffering pressure from the middle, but every time i watching him he doesn't struggle to block his pass rusher, like Beachum
And moreover he seems have no problem with false starts
If Humphries can be good at right tackle its great, we can focus on interior line
No way from a pride factor does Hump move to RT. LT is viewed as the premier OL position and thus the dollars being paid are the most in that position. This is the same situation the Ravens were in with Ronnie Stanley and Orlando Brown after the 2020 season (although Stanley and Brown are MUCH better than our pair - not even debatable). Stably got hurt 6 games in, Brown moved from RT to LT to take his place. Brown made the pro bowl, but more importantly looked like an absolute STUD. Ravens faced with paying 2 players LT money or trade one. They traded the younger Brown to the Chiefs and kept the older known quantity in Stanley. Stanley (who was the 6th pick in Humphries draft), has played a gran total of 7 games over the past 2 seasons. Brown hasn’t missed a game and will make his 3rd consecutive ProBowl.
Hump has now had 3 of his 7 seasons in the NFL where he has played 50% of his games or less.. and hasn’t been elite in any but maybe 1 season. This is why I was vocally against the extension this summer…. But now you’re stuck with him. Would be surprised if we could get a 3rd rounder.. and heck his contract might even restrict us even getting a 4th rounder.
He’s worth more than dumping for nothing, unless you are just doing a salary dump… but is anyone even willing to take on the salary of a fringe starting LT whose been injured half his career and never elite ? I’d say no, if LT was a need of ours - would you want this guy? I guess it’d be a Kiem move trading for a aging injured Vet?
