    Bets? Lot of people will say TJ but they still have him locked up for a while, I think it will be someone more pressing.


    This is more wishful thinking then who I think it will be but just a reminder




    Really shouldn’t let players like that walk if you can help it.

    My guess would be Feiler if it happens because they will want to keep some continuity on the offensive line given that AV is likely leaving.

    If anybody deserves a new deal it is clearly TJ however.

    I will guess Cam Sutton . Kind of under the radar guy , that could allow us to get a "good deal."

    Feiler.

    I personally hope for Hilton but I think we need to make a move on the OL and Feiler makes the most sense.

    Could also be waiting for after the first week game to sign a veteran... so entire salary isnt guaranteed..

    A statistical anomaly considering he needed to have the best WR in the NFL opposite him to get those opportunities. And most players aren't that young when drafted.

    For me, it is Mike Hilton.


    Extending him should be no issue. The 2020 Cap Charge is likely unaffected if he can sign to a team friendly deal. I believe he will as his role here is irreplaceable.


    Some say Cameron Sutton but Sutton does not have the same Run Defense or Pass Rushing abilities that Hilton provides.

    they NEED to try and wrap Watt up now. they can probably get him cheaper if he don’t have to wait two years. that is exactly what the Texans did.

    Watt would be my first choice, but I'm not sure they have the room to do that right now. Feiler seems like a better bet, and I think he is more important right now than Hilton.

    As much as I would love to wrap up Watt now, the issue is the Cap Charge. It would be too great at present. Best to save that for Watt in 2021.



    Keep in mind that Big Al, Matt Feiler and Zach Banner all are gone after the season. Of the three, preferably I would want to keep Banner but there is so little to go off of. Big Al would be my next choice but given how he regressed last season, will he be able to bounce back?! Top pick of the three is Matt Feiler but given the fact that Kevin Dotson will be 25 next season, I doubt the team wants to wait much longer in starting Kevin.
