    What happened to their 2nd round pick? Are they still dealing with the Goff trade-up? Or was that the Watkins trade?

    It was given up due to part of the Watkins trade.

    That draft looks sensible to me, but I wouldnt cut Saffold. Why cut a great guard (who can swing to tackle) who knows the system?

    There are 18 guards in the NFL making more money than Roger Saffold.

    $6.5 million for a guard that Brian Baldinger called the “best left guard in the league” seems like a pretty good deal.

    They will be fine in terms of the cap without any of that.

    Saffold has one year left on his deal, and I believe Saffold wants to be paid like 5 years, $15 million per year and $50 million guaranteed. Just a feeling.

    And you let him play that year rather than throwing away a quality guard who is an anchor for a still young and developing team.

    No guard in the league gets 15 M. The high end for guards right now is in the 10-12 M range, and that’s only a handful of them, and they’re all younger than RS. By the time RS is a free agent (2019 off-season) he will be in his 10th year.
