Today I\u2019m going to take a look at a player that fans are split on, whether they like him or they don\u2019t like him enough to be apart of the teams future, or just downright think he\u2019s a terrible player, that player being right tackle Mike McGlinchey.<\/p>\n
A few days ago, New Orleans Saints All-Pro right tackle Ryan Ramcyzk signed a 5-year extension, worth $96 million, which is $19.2 million a year, which surpasses Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson\u2019s $18 million a year.<\/p>\n
So, this deal effects what McGlinchey could demand, and get when it\u2019s time for a new deal, as he is signed through 2022, as the 49ers exercised his 5th-year option, fully guaranteeing him $10.808 million.<\/p>\n
This deal also effects another couple of right tackles who are up for new deals, that being Minnesota Vikings\u2019 Brian O\u2019Neill, and Carolina Panthers’ Taylor Moton, who is playing 2021 on the franchise tag.<\/p>\n
According to PFF\u2019s rankings of the top 32 offensive tackles entering 2021, not only does left tackle Trent Williams appear, as the #2, but also McGlinchey at #14.<\/p>\n
If we take a look at PFF\u2019s list of their top 32 offensive tackles, these are the right tackles that appear on the list.<\/p>\n
No. 3. Ryan Ramcyzk, New Orleans Saints
\nNo. 6. Tristan Wirfs, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
\nNo. 9. Taylor Moton, Carolina Panthers
\nNo. 10. Lane Johnson, Philadelphia Eagles
\nNo. 12. Jack Conklin, Cleveland Browns
\nNo. 13. Braden Smith, Indianapolis Colts
\nNo. 14. Mike McGlinchey, San Francisco 49ers
\nNo. 25. La\u2019ell Collins, Dallas Cowboys
\nNo. 27. Rob Havenstein, Los Angeles Rams
\nNo. 30. Brian O\u2019Neill, Minnesota Vikings<\/p>\n
Now when looking at the top paid right tackles, we have to look at OTC to see who they are, so as of today, the following right tackles rank like this.<\/p>\n
No. 1. Ryan Ramcyzk, $19.2 million a year, $60,214,824 guaranteed, $43,014,824 fully guaranteed.
\nNo. 2. Lane Johnson, $18 million a year, $55.845 million guaranteed, $25 million fully guaranteed.
\nNo. 3. Jack Conklin, $14 million a year, $30 million guaranteed, $30 million fully guaranteed.
\nNo. 4. Taylor Moton, $13.754 million Franchise Tag, fully guaranteed.
\nTied No. 5. Bryan Bulaga, $10 million a year, $19.25 million guaranteed, $19.25 million fully guaranteed.
\nTied No. 5. La\u2019ell Collins, $10 million a year, $35 million guaranteed, $19,966,750 fully guaranteed.
\nNo. 7. George Fant, $9.2 million a year, $13.7 million guaranteed, $9.25 million fully guaranteed.
\nTied No 8. Hala Vaitai, $9 million a year, $20 million guaranteed, $20 million fully guaranteed.
\nTied No 8. Trent Brown, $9 million a year, $6.5 million guaranteed, $6.5 million fully guaranteed.
\nNo. 10. Rob Havenstein, $8.125 million a year, $16,226,365 guaranteed, $9,976,365 fully guaranteed.<\/p>\n
Of the top 10, only 4 aren\u2019t in PFF\u2019s ranking of the top 32 tackles, those being Bulaga, Fant, Vaitai, & Brown.<\/p>\n
Originally, I said that McGlinchey, if all goes well, would be looking at $12 million a year, but with the fact that Ramcyzk got, essentially, left tackle money, I think for players like McGlinchey, O\u2019Neill, & Moton, their price just went up.<\/p>\n
So, what is McGlinchey worth when the time comes? Well, that\u2019s tough, because he\u2019s an elite run blocker, but average at best pass protector, the hope is having fellow Notre Dame alum Aaron Banks at right guard will help McGlinchey, as that\u2019s the one spot, besides center, that the 49ers needed help in the worst way.<\/p>\n
Now, McGlinchey won\u2019t get what Ramcyck got, nor will he get what Lane Johnson got, so we\u2019re looking more into what Jack Conklin got, which was $14 million a year, with $30 million guaranteed, all of it being fully.<\/p>\n
But I can realistically see McGlinchey getting more than Conklin got, somewhere in the $15 million a year range, which would be a lot to have two tackles making the kind of money they\u2019d be making, but if McGlinchey can improve over the next 2 seasons, then it\u2019s money well spent.<\/p>\n
