One of Jon Gruden’s gambles that did payoff last season was bringing in veteran guard Ritchie Incognito.
Because of his stellar play in 2019, he was rewarded with a new two year extension. Incognito will be 38 when the deal expires. Another thing to consider is that Gabe Jackson was rumored to be on the trade block.
He has a very large $9.6 million dollar contract and it’s still possible he could be traded and if not maybe even cut to save some money.
If neither occur you get Logan Stenberg as depth and a possible replacement for Incognito in two years. Nasty, mauler, aggressive, mean spirited are a few of the adjectives that come to mind when describing Stenberg. Sounds like naturally replacement for Incognito, right?
Stenberg posses the type of mentality you look for in your offensive lineman. Once he gets his paws on a defender he looks to bury them. He routinely finished blocks by driving defenders into the turf.
Two areas of concern are he was a flag machine at Kentucky (14 penalties in 2019) and his pass blocking sets will need time to develop.
