[QUOTE="tynimiller, post: 1066114, member: 6578"] It was outlined in some comments above - it isn't an advocacy for the thought but a thought triggered from the fact that a GM's job is to constantly be weighing and constructing the teams best chance to win both in the present if evident they can and also the future. We are still an insanely young team so an eye to the future is needed and in short - Jenkins contract next year isn't happening - he knows it, his agent knows it, Gute and Ball know it....its why so much contract discussions were occurring. This was also stressed as not something likely Gute should be pursuing but if he is a good GM and given this situation PLUS all the young contracts coming do not just at this years' end but next year's end - he should be mindful of knowing a plan for post Jenkins now or in the future and what it would take. Elite center play is a cherry on top of an offensive line, but time and time again it is proven in the league to be arguably where you just need a great communicator and smart player - he doesn't have to be the most refined lineman once the snap happens, of course he cannot be terrible but then again no one can anywhere. But center is the easiest thing to get by with or fill most would say along the offensive front. So with Rhyan playing starting level for us typically and already the guy called on to be the center when Jenkins isn't around, and having Monk and Hill in house...the thought of absorbing losing Jenkins for 2025 isn't some far fetched concept that should cause Gute to say - no to a team calling about a guard or a center need (Jenkins) is all. I would also contest that yes, Jenkins is one of our more proven lineman, but at 30 and now post-injury - I would not say he is our best lineman. I believe at best you can say tied for 2nd but likely our third just overall. Tom is our best, Walker arguably our second and Jenkins/Banks level of play at this point in Jenkin's career is fairly similar IMO at least. [/QUOTE]
