They already have the highest paid offensive line in the league. Their tackles got wrecked by the Texans and Eagles. That money would be more wisely put to a left tackle.

OT Taylor's contract is guaranteed for 2025. So, they are stuck with him or eating a boatload of dead cap to move off from him. Thuney, they need to basically convert most of the base salary into a bonus to lower the high $20 something mill cap charge to something closer to $20 mill or under.

Wild. Not often you see a 2nd tag.

They could have just traded him a while ago and invested the compensation into badly-needed help in the trenches but that would require actually investing in proper management.

Might just be to hold his rights to trade him. But, I personally don't like a team doing business this way. Tagging Higgins means Hendrickson their DE is going to hit free agency. A 2nd tag comes with 20% bump on the last one which was what like low $20's? So, this is a $25/26 mill contract?

Either pay the man on a long term deal or let the guy hit the market.
