Re-sign or “Wave Good-bye” series: Player 5 - Jon Feliciano

[YoloinOhio]

Mongo is a UFA and will be 29 on Wednesday (Happy Bday). He played and started 9 games in 2020 (missed first part of season due to torn pec). He played 48 % of snaps with 489 at RG, 212 at C, 73 at LG. He allowed 0 sacks, 32 pressures, and had 3 penalties. A former 4th rd pick of the Raiders, he has never been a consistent starter, but is versatile on the interior OL. Known as a better run blocker than pass protection.

I'd offer him $7M/yr, which I think he'd take, & make him the starting OC.

[Reader]

It's all about output for contract, right?

 

Mongo is an amazing teammate and I am so happy to have had him as a Bill. I just don't see how we can consider the market value with other players who seem considerably better investments.

Certainly a lot depends on what they do with Morse. I recall mongo tweeting something at one point about preferring Center over OG. 

[H2o]

I'd offer him a deal somewhere in the $5M-$6M range on a 3 year deal with about $10M being guaranteed. Nothing more than that though. 

[Over 29 years of fanhood]

Wow, surprised to see how thin the roster in in o line area. Morse, Dawkins, Ford then Bates and Trey Adam’s look like the only guys under contract.

[UB2SF]

Great teammate and had a few games where he looked dominant... but then got repeatedly overpowered by KC's Jones in the AFCCG... meaning, good but not elite. I would love to see him on the team next year but we should not overpay.

Looks like I might be in the minority here but I think I don’t even want them to pay him $6M so I’d be happy to move on from him...Not overly impressed with him in the AFCCG..

 

Invest a high pick in the draft and maybe find a cheaper FA...Beane seems to do ok finding bargain basement OL guys ...

I like this

[eSJayDee]

Rather surprised that his projected salary is about the same as Williams.  I think the consensus is Williams ranks higher among Ts than Feliciano among Gs AND, more importantly, Ts get paid better than Gs.

Same here.  

 

Much like Milano, I don't even care to offer a contract.   

 

Re-sign Williams.  Morse and Dawkins are above average OL.   

 

Draft a G/C and hope a new Guard and a healthy Ford provide some more juice to the run game.

I thought it looked high too. I was thinking more like 5-6 mill range

Agreed.  He was above average last year, and missed 7 games with injury since he has been here.   I pay him just outside the top ten for RG which is 5,018,000.  I think thats his sweet spot.

 

His tweet last night didnt help anything.

Such a tough decision. I don't make this decision until after signing Daryl Williams. Once the OTs are locked up I see what's left and how we handle Feliciano and Morse.

Buddy used to say "always draft tackles, and if they can't do it, move them to guard"

[SirAndrew]

I’m somewhat surprised by the results of this poll. Mongo is a fan favorite, but it seems like most people value him appropriately.

[BuffaloMatt]

OL was and is a big issue. KC feasted against us and we saw what happened to KC with OL in shamble. Mahomes looked like Allen in the AFC Championship. 

[1st Ammendment NoMas]

the OL was night and day difference after Mongo came back. Do what you can to keep him and Williams. Get a mauler at C and RG

[ProcessTruster]

We all saw yesterday what a broken O Line does to an otherwise dominant team.   You can't recover from a bad or broken O Line.   And every team saw that yesterday and will be protecting their O Line guys.  Its a good day to be a solid O Line guy in the NFL.   You will get paid.   Beane will be sure to have his replacement lined up before letting him walk.
