Mike McCarthy announced today that Tretter has earned the job and Corey Linsley will be his backup.
This sort of translates to the bahktiari/spriggs situation. Except lindsley has proven to be a good starter already...One loses the starting job due to injury, one takes advantage of an opportunity because of injury and gets job back. Good for him. I feel bad for linsley, but having two good young guys is a good problem to have at the position.
Because he is a bit better and the backup is still on a rookie deal...
There are currently 46 LT's in the league making more/yr. than Bakhtiari's $653,850/yr avg. Using extremely round numbers the average LT salary of those 46 top-paid LT's is $5.3Mil/yr. Bakh is at the very least better than 1/2 of them, and probably at least a top-20 LT.Unless BahkT takes a nice step forward, I think 4-6 million a year is plenty for him. No way I'd give him 9. If Spriggs isn't it, I'd keep looking till I found his replacement.
Tretter and Linsley are both on rookie deals, both have shown they can play. Personally I've thought higher of Tretter and think he's the better of the 2 anyway.
I'm not going to get too caught up in this yet, the season will give us answers or at least make things more clear.

Point is, we have a guy who we will have to pay well to keep, with a good replacment on the roster... Why? Because he is a bit better and the backup is still on a rookie deal...
You think for a minute that they would bench lindsley if they planned on letting tretter go?And if Tretter somehow manages to get an offer for 9+ million next offseason then they should let him walk also and add depth through the draft
Linsley is on the PUP.You think for a minute that they would bench lindsley if they planned on letting tretter go?
No way.
As far as Centers salaries a #10 on top-paid would be $6.375Mil/yr. and #20 would be $2Mil/yr. using current Overthecap figures. Tretter is completely in control of his future contract with his starting-center play in '16. Linsley is under contract thru '17 so TT has more options.And if Tretter somehow manages to get an offer for 9+ million next offseason then they should let him walk also and add depth through the draft

Nope, not yet.I thought he played this season already... ?

That would be crazily shocking to see Tretter get a 9+ million per year offer. There is absolutely no way we have 4 offensive linemen that would all get offers like that.And if Tretter somehow manages to get an offer for 9+ million next offseason then they should let him walk also and add depth through the draft

Any chance we're over-estimating the demand for a guy who was out his entire first year, half the second, and has started three games (as a backup) in his entire career? Love Tretter, but will other teams give him starter money? Will let you know early next year, but I think it's a fair question at this point.
He played well last year, and has looked good in preseason. Tretter might be the better run blocker. Not missing a beat at this position, for one season anyway.Mike McCarthy announced today that Tretter has earned the job and Corey Linsley will be his backup.
