Havenstein was extended with a contract that was questioned by some. The Rams see him as a top RT, if so it was a good signing.

He is replaceable. I question that one. In the long run there are only so many top contracts they can pay for, so you want the list to be a selective one. So there are different votes on Hav. I doubt there's much "aha who was right" capital in Hav. He will always be solid but how much do you pay for solid?

I accept the premise that RTs are more easily replaced than some other positions. But I believe the question is one of value and continuity. If Hav proves to be a top 5 RT then there is a reasonable argument that it was prudent to resign him. I look to the Pats on how they address their cap. Belichick is not one to extend players on their 2nd contracts. That’s a big reason they traded Cooks and Chandler Jones. They are very selective on who they extend. They extended their RT, even though RTs are more easily replaced.
