Quote from: Tecno on January 15, 2026, 07:28:14 PMI would say a weak link. Not the weakest... At best he's tied for weakest with our revolving RT and LG spots.

Only one guy was released.

Was it ever confirmed or denied if Kolankowski was due a bonus?

He was a pending FA. So, I would say no.

One guy released... so far...

We'll see who remains after camp!

Also, costs almost nothing to keep nobody IMP OL around. Ko-man as a vet NAT is much more coin.

Neufeld next, time to rebuild the OL seriously

Not this FA. Zach & Brady would rebel. Zach/Brady/Stan/Neuf are a package deal. Only if Neuf has a REALLY bad '26 will the other 3 look the other way.

...they are certainly not a package deal. That makes no sense. Oliveira just signed a three year contract. It's almost certainly guaranteed that none of the other three are still here when it ends.

I hope not, unless Zach wants to get killed and Brady wants to have an even worse year. This is professional football, teammates change.

Reading comprehension. I said for '26. '27 may be a different can of worms if Neuf / Stan continue downhill. But as of right now the 4 Amigos are pretty much a unit if you go by all the chatter from Brady & Zach.

I only see Neuf/Stan not being re-signed if they put in too big an ask because they know they have pull. I think/hope it won't come to that. If anything they should both take a cut: or take a non-raise as a "cut" due to inflation.
