I dunno, I do think we kinda put our foot in our mouths when we say, “the OL got us killed in the Super Bowl again!!!!” And then simultaneously get pissed when rumors indicate that’s where they wanna spend their money….
I get asset allocation and all that, but can you ever truly overspend on OL/DL?
Andy has kinda already told us he thinks the main issue in LIX was not being able to run the football. Trey Smith does help that issue, regardless of if you think he’s just average or good pass blocker. I too suspect he won’t be back though once they hear what other teams will give.

Who's been saying the OL as a whole got Mahomes killed all season? The LT in particular has been the bone of contention for at least a couple years now, and rightfully so. Spending 16 million on Thuney, 20 million on Taylor, 18 million on Humphrey, and potentially 20+ million on Smith while you're band aiding the most important position with half ass measures like Donovan Smith and the carousel of sadness that was 2024 needs to stop now.
If, IF, they've actually given up on developing Kingsley at OT because of a couple of games where he expectedly got overmatched and exploited then they need to just overpay out the ass for a mediocre LT long term in the tampering period and be done with it. Alaric Jackson or Cam Robinson. Pick your fancy and be ****ing done with it.
