Offensive tackles, especially left tackles, are a massive component to any successful team and offensive line. Good ones are hard to come by, especially in recent years. And if you look ahead to next year’s batch of free agents, there’s not a whole lot of talent available at this position.
That’s why it has been so important for Garett Bolles (for himself at least) to have a productive season heading on the final year of his current contract with the Denver Broncos. If he performs well, then that means a nice payday is waiting for him.
