It's a different game now than it was even 5 years ago. Those solid starters yet borderline NFL guys have a lot more reason to stick around if you can get them a good NIL deal.
Mr. Irrelevant gets paid just $600k and has to make the roster. Unless we are way behind no reason we can’t make it competitive enough to stay.

And it's a much longer shot to make the roster as a late pick than to come back as a starter here. Come back, get NIL, take out an insurance policy in case of injury, get another degree, and try to improve your stock.

Jalen Rivers - going through his decision making process now but solid chance he’s back for another. Has an opportunity to get his Masters degree. Scouts think he’s playing out of position as a tackle — will play guard at the next level. 6th-7th round grade right now, could help himself coming back and working on his “stiffness” as was put to me


Matt Lee - Late/PFA grade right now and Miami pushing hard to get him back. Trusts Mario/Mirabal obviously. Getting him back would be absolutely massive

Wow Bell at LT, Rivers LG, Lee C, Cooper RG, Francis RT would be amazing. With guys like Kinsler/Samson off the bench.

What are scout's knocking Lee for?

Would the ideal OL look like…

LT - Bell/Samson
LG - Rivers
C - Lee
RG - Cooper
RT - Francis

Samson/McCoy might be impatient but that’s a pretty **** good starting 5 there with two quality backups
6 linemen formations

having both those guys back along with developing our younger talent would be absolutely MASSIVE!
 
Would be nice to have them back and to slide Rivers to guard to take over for Cohen and unleash Pancake at LT.

Bringing Matt Lee back for another year would be MASSIVE. Really hope we make that happen.

In a dream scenario next year, we have a competition at the LT spot with Bell, Samson and Mccoy and best man wins , Rivers slides into the LG spot, Lee back at Center, Coop starts at Rg and Francis at RT. Another year of development for Cooper and Francis could make this a SCARY line next year.
my wet dream of an OL next year is exactly that.
LT - Bell
LG - Rivers
C - Lee
RG - Anez
RT - Francis

Samson, McCoy, Kinsler, available off the bench.

That is ELITE!
