Charles Cross 5th year option

MontanaHawk05 · Monday at 7:35 PM

This goes hand and glove with the idea that John and Mike are not necessarily judging the OL guys based on 2024. I thought Cross took a step back last year, but with the coaching and scheming not being up to snuff, it isn't necessarily surprising.

I'm looking forward to seeing Grey Zabel line up beside Sweet Feet. He's unlike any of the previous left guards Charles has seen line up beside him. Two exceptional big athletes side by side. That's should rekindle a level of tandem chemistry we haven't seen for some time.

Looking forward to seeing that talent merge.

Cross is a good, serviceable LT. He was never worth being taken 9th overall, as being picked 9th should mean you are the leading example of the position.

But as I said, good so picking him up on the 5th year fixes short term headaches and keeps the line consistent. I think they’ll be looking towards 2026 for a replacement tackle prospect.

Again, Cross has been much better than the 2 Lineman picked before him in that draft at picks 6 and 7 (Cross was 9). You can say he should be a world beater but reality is much different. He has been good and the pick was a good one even if he isn't an all pro yet. He is still just 24 by the way.

Good for Cross. He’s earned it. It was only a matter of time. They had until Friday to do it. I think JS was hoping for an extension but they weren’t close yet.

I think they also wanted to see what happened in the draft as well.

Unfair to the kid really, we had Walter Jones here, we think of LT's in his image and play, few will meet that standard.

Good move. Now they have another year to work out that multi-year extension.
