If you told me we could hold on to Walker through 2026 and it would cost us $5Mil more in 2026 but have maintain his Dead $ <$5mil if we sent him out to pasture in 2027? (Contract out 2027)  I think that’s a very reasonable avenue for a 2nd or 3rd option.Much of this really depends on what Jenkins is wanting $$ wise. If Elgtons camp is thinking of exploiting us in the  $22m yearly and 50% guaranteed on a 4yr deal?  I’d wait him out until he asks for a trade. His value drops slightly with each passing week where he’s not playing. He is not in the drivers seat imo. It’s even conceivable we saw this Contract dilemma approaching just didn’t know precisely when. So we drafted and went FA accordingly. TWO potential replacements on hand when we asked Elgton to move over.This is all to say what I’ve always promoted. If something is working on OL let’s keep it intact if it’s reasonable to do so. If not keep stocking options at OL regularly through the draft. That continuity at LT/RT is super important in regard to keeping our QB on his feet.  In 2024 we were one of the best teams in Sacks allowed. Much of that comes from Tackle continuity. Add to that upgrading the Run block lanes in the middle?Walker-Banks-Rhyan-Morgan-TomIF for any reason Jenkins couldn’t/woouldnt go..</blockquote>
