BillsFan4 Posted November 29, 2019 Posted November 29, 2019 New highest paid RT in the NFL. https://overthecap.com/position/right-tackle/ Next closest is trent Brown (who was originally signed as a LT, wasn’t he?) at $16.5M, then James at $12.75M.
Beast Posted November 29, 2019 Posted November 29, 2019 That’s a whole lot of money for a RT. A whole lot. More than I would ever pay. 2
Lurker Posted November 29, 2019 Posted November 29, 2019 Good player. But that's today's news. They'll probably regret it a couple years down the line...

That's a whole lot of money for any player, the contracts are getting a bit ridiculous ... That's about $800k per game not bad, or $13k per minute in a 60 minute game . ?

These guys train year round and suffer ACL tears, broken bones, torn ligaments, concussions and CTE. Never forget Aaron Williams and Kevin Everett whose every day life will never be the same. I’ve seen Anthony Hargrove fold Johnny Knox in half like a lawn chair. How do you think Ryan Shazier’s life will be from here on out? The players sell the jerseys and fill the seats. They make these owners billionaires.
Mark Vader Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 Wow! He's good, but for that kind of contract?

They make these owners billionaires. The owners were billionaires before buying the teams. Players for sure earn what they make. But you are teetering on playing the Keapernick here. But maybe that is what you want.

Both tackles are super important in today's game. It's not the old cliche of a blindside blocker and a Mauler on the right The best pass rushers line up over the RT and LT and swap all game 1
H2o Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 What does this do for our upcoming negotiations with Dawkins, who is a LT? The LT position is perceived as the more important of the two for the most part. Do you think his agent uses this leverage?

DRA3196 Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 Looks like Dawkins is in line to get a nice payday. $18m/ season WOW. Kudos to Lane Johnson.
