This is great news. I know he gets injured but he is a force at LT when he is healthy. For however many games that is, we have one of the best anchors in the league at LT.
I am willing to bet he plays the least games of his career next year...and retires next off-season when his contract will be easier to June 1st retire him...I'm betting he took one for the team, being a great teammate.
Manage his health for the big games, he's the 18th highest paid tackle in the league, a lesser quality replacement would likely cost more. Yes I know availability etc etc, but his injury history was clearly a factor in his salary. I hope we get an OT round 1 or 2 that can play next to TA at guard next season and learn from him.
I'm happy about it ...but it's bitter sweet since there's some availability drawbacks...however hopefully if he's calling it after this season wants to go out swinging for us and plays as much as possible since he will be riding off into the sunset soon.
