I mean lets presume for the sake of argument that we can make it work for Smith and some change for 41. And then to address the 'some change' side of it, we'll even presume that Alaric Jackson gets the same kind of contract that Smith gets. I don't know what the 'change' is but I don't think Jackson will make the same as Smith so we'll try to use those to wash each other out.
I mean isn't Trey Smith for Alaric Jackson and Donovan Jackson a REALLY good trade return for us? Or Wyatt Millum? Those are both guys who could maybe play OT but could almost certainly slide inside and be REALLY good OGs, and guys who should excel in pass pro to a greater degree than Smith.
And I think that's a fairly conservative approach to calculating the return.
I just think we're blowing past the opportunity cost really quickly because he's already a Chief. And if he weren't, this wouldn't even be a close question for us.
