[Chief X_Phackter]

I love how we always hear the mantra "we have to keep/pay our own", but now that this team is close to being a true contender (and they are), they should just let their best offensive lineman walk because he's too expensive.

Sorry folks, that is his market value. Every position has a market value. It may seem silly or not feel right to pay a guard that much, but get used to it if you want an elite one.

Maybe in the future that price point comes down a bit like it did for RBs, but I'm not holding my breath.
