So in my conversation with Ben, we got to the NFLPA report cards.

More on that coming up in a moment, because I do think it says something about our team.

But, you know, in thinking about Tyler Beaudish and Ben and I spoke about this, too,

they're basically three players in 2024, that first, you know, free agency class where they were primarily

dipping their toes with a lot of one-year deals, but Echler had a two-year deal. Armstrong,

Louvre, and Beaudish all got three-year deals. In the case of Beaudish, there was no

guaranteed money for the third season. I am going to guess that the

reason this happened is that the team didn't feel like the performance was a match for the third

year of the contract to go ahead and pay him what he had coming in the third year of a three-year

$20.7 million deal, and that they could do better by contract to go ahead and pay him what he had coming in the third year of a three-year,

$20.7 million deal, and that they could do better by either having Allegrety play center next year or find somebody else. And perhaps they approached Beaudish and they tried to work

something out and Beaudish and his agent said, no, that's okay. Go ahead and release us. We'll

either play the final year of the deal or release us and we'll go to free agency.

It happens.

What will happen with Doran Armstrong and Frankie Louvo?

I think Louvo is a good fit for a Brian Flores-style defense, if that's what Durante Jones is bringing.

I don't hold Frankie Louvue's performance last year, which was not the

2024 performance against him. I think, you know, just like almost everybody else last year,

it's very difficult to truly evaluate anything that happened last year, given the number of key

players that didn't play a significant part of the season.

I've discussed in addition to Laramie Tunsell the possibility that Frankie

Louvo could be, could be an extension candidate, somebody that they'd want to
