Terron Armstead...is he gone? (1 Viewer)

[SaintsMan209]

you mean for a guy who is only on the field half the season? Pass, move on. he's worth it for half that cost since he's only available for half those games.

i like ram at lt (hes gettign lt money) and landon young or hurst at rt

I get leaving ram at rt as hes so domiant there, but hes out best ot. play him at lt

and you KNOW if TA goes somewhere else, he will be healthy for 16 games and be an all-pro....

If that's the number then we kind of have to let him go given his injury history. I mean, in addition to that salary you have to add the salary of a good backup for the games he is very likely to miss. That being said, that number is a guess by ESPN. I could see a desperate team offering that, but it's not a lock that one will.

That's exactly the problem. It's not unlikely that we paid peat what we did because of his ability to cover for Armsteads absence. Actually, now that I think of it...maybe that's a decent plan.

If he stays he's going to play 8.47 games.

If that’s the plan then I have to question the plan. Peat is hurt often as well.

The Cincinnati Bengals with $60m in cap space and possibly the worst offensive line in the league are exactly why Armstead has to be licking his chops at free agency.

ESPN+ just released their top 50 FA's for 2022 today...
#2 OVERALL was Armstead!
I also see that Spotrac is estimating his market value at:

• 4 yrs, $95,820,796
• Avg. Salary: $23,955,199
• NFL Rank: 16
• LT Rank: 1

I'm probably the biggest Armstead fan on this board and there is absolutely zero chance he is worth that much on the open market....but then the oft-injured Trent Williams got a big deal late in his career as well....
