Has started 43 games over the last three seasons.I know him well from being a Notre Damer....looking back on my 2021 draft notes he has big mitts at 10 inches, arms are just over 33 inches, 6'5' 325lbs and was one of my favorite pure guards, albeit I wasn't as high as he ended up going (48th overall)Has given up 3 sacks his entire career in the NFL per PFFContract Details Known now (added 3/12/2025) 4 yrs/$77M  SB of $27M (only guaranteed money)Year1 cap hit is a mere $9.15MYear2 is $24.85M and could save already $2.5M by cuttingYear3 is $22.25M and could save nearly $10M by cuttingYear4 is $20.75M and could save $14M by cuttingIF Banks proves to be a starter this is fine, you could ride out his entire contract - cap will only continue to rise and the 20-25M range for a starting guard while seems high now won't be in the close future. Personally I'd have bumped the year one hit higher but this tells me they're planning to still add some hits to this year's cap.</blockquote>
