With the glorious free agency siren about to wail at noon today, Joe’s thinking a lot about Team Glazer loot.
Of course, Joe remains somewhat obsessed with [Graham Barton’s comments](https://www.joebucsfan.com/2025/02/is-luke-goedeke-negotiating-a-long-term-deal/) about a Luke Goedeke contract extension. So the new deal for old-man Falcons left tackle Jake Matthews had Joe’s interest.
NFL Network reported yesterday that Matthews got a two-year, $45 million extension. Keep in mind Matthews is good but not great and is 33 years old, and he’s playing for a team that hasn’t had a special offense since 2018.
So what will Goedeke be worth as a beastly young right tackle? When this season ends, his contract will be up and he will have just turned 27.
Joe thinks what the Bucs do for pending free agent left guard Ben Bredeson, 27, will say a lot about how committed they are to keeping their ferocious offensive line together.
Joe expects a Bredeson deal to pop in a matter of hours. Hopefully it’s not Jim Harbaugh signing his former player, or the Vegas Bradys swooping in.
