Rodger Saffold | LG
Contract: Four years, $44 million
With a desperate need on the interior of the offensive line, Robinson went ahead and paid Saffold in 2019, which at first looked like a mistake.
At one point, Saffold was public enemy No. 1, as it seemed he was routinely getting blown up by opposing defensive linemen. From about Week 6 or so on, Saffold began to elevate his play and was one-fifth of a dominant run-blocking offensive line.
Together with Lewan, who admitted he and Saffold needed some time to get on the same page in 2019, the Titans have arguably one of the best left sides of an offensive line in the sport. With a full year under his belt playing with Lewan and in the Titans’ offense, Saffold should be even better in 2020.
We might be jumping the gun in naming this one of the best contracts Robinson has handed out during his tenure after just one season, but that’s how good Saffold was in the second half of last year.
