Digression alert: People bag on Wills (not that you are necessarily) but the fact remains, even a mediocre LT is very valuable and worth keeping, and he’s better than mediocre. I don’t know who was on the chat boards for all those years before Joe Thomas, during the Butch Davis, Robiskie, Crennel years when we couldn’t find an LT better than hot garbage to save our souls but we were all pulling our hair out for an LT. We’ve been very lucky since then. For lots of teams the LT position is one of constant need and truth is good ones are about as rare as good QBs. Like QBs, in the best of times, half the leagues starters are ok to great and the other half are place holders at best. Most years it’s like a 1/3rd. Unless they have a solid alternate plan or have truly dark feelings about Wills’ health I’d expect them to try to keep him next year.
