Yeah, the more I think about it, Brian, as we all know, there's only so much money to go around.

I think the guy who could be left out in the cold here because he merits a big fifth year is Broderick Jones.

And these other guys that we're talking about are going to get theirs.

And he's not.

That's what I think anyway.

That makes sense to me.

You?

Well, yeah, I mean, the fifth year does, you know, it changes the calculus a little bit, but only if you pick it up.

And I don't really think they're in a position to do that with the way that he's played.

And then, you know, you hope that that neck injury can be as

routine as a neck injury and subsequent surgery can possibly be, but it's still a health concern going into next year.

Obviously, Dylan Cook has had some good string of games at left tackle.

That class, it'll be interesting to see how the chips fall there.

As much as I've liked Benton's improvement over the course of this year, I don't know that I'd be rushing to go out and sign him.

That's a position that commands a lot of money in today's NFL and

You've got Derek Harmon waiting in the wings to be kind of the Batman or the Robin to Cam Hayward's Batman.

And you've got Y.A.

Black, who can maybe develop into a starter based on some of what we saw in training camp and things of that nature.

So, yeah, we'll see with Benton.
