Extensions This Offseason?

Right, I got mixed up. There are contracts with voidable years that don't automatically void but Kalil's will. So yes I think an extension for him is possible as well, however I could also see us looking at C in the draft or even putting Remmers there and going with Williams at RT.

Definitely possible but I fear Remmers may cost too much for what he is. I'm waiting to see what Bobby Massie got. He's right there in line with Remmers from a play standpoint. I'd rather stick with the known quantity of Kalil provided he still wants to play rather than overpay Remmers and move him to C.

KK and Trai Turner are absolute necessity along with Norwell

Trai has 2 years on his deal for peanuts, no reason to extend him this offseason.

Gman & Jno were spotted together at snowmars. I heard Gman grabbed the tab.

Kalil is better than Mack and the same age and he just got paid a sh*tload by the Falcons. I want him here for the rest of his career but we've got a lot of guys to pay and Kalil may not be a priority considering his age. Really I have no clue at all what Remmers' worth is throughout the league. Other teams may be stupid as they always are, but I don't think Remmers would be a reliable starter anywhere else. That being said, I also have no idea how good he is at C, if he could even play it. I just remember the speculation in camp and practices when he was taking snaps there with Williams first team RT. If we don't extend Kalil, I hope we can get Ryan Kelly in the second round. He's really similar to Kalil from what I've seen (and not just his name...).

He's provided stability in our return game and is really our best home-run threat on offense and was crucial to what we did last year. Even with KB back and him in a situational role, he'll still be crucial to our offense's success. Cost is of course a factor, but he really didn't have such a huge year considering he was forced into the starting role and hasn't had success elsewhere. Don't think it'd cost any more now than it would after next year and unless we can get his replacement in the return game in the draft I think we'll still need him after next year.

I'm a big Ginn fan, but he definitely out played his contract last season . I doubt this would be the best time to negotiate. I'd love to keep him around a few more years provided he stays productive.  Like you said, he's our only real punt returner fight now.
