If hes our best option at guard or RT then he deserves a raise, if he loses at RT or guard then, well, sounds pretty obvious to me.

I'm in agreement. It wasn't too long ago when many on this board felt moving Boone to tackle and Davis to guard was a worth a try. If Boone is does a good job, he should get what he feels is fare by mid season.

Right now I stand on a fence...if Boone shows up today, man's up, has his agent work with the FO and is immediately hitting the books and studying and starts to play and become a very good ZBS RT, then he'll earn my respect. If he doesn't show up today, drags on a contract extension, etc. I'd send him a ticket to Davis and Borland's house to play Madden all day and tweet.

I'd pay Aldon an all guaranteed mega contract before I'd pay Boone.
You're making it sound like he was completely unreasonable. Dude was making like $1.5mil a season and was regarded as one of the best guards in the league for 2 straight years. He's still only making a little over $3mil. a year even after his holdout. It's not like he held the team hostage until he got $10mil/yr.. We signed Eric Pears for basically the same amount Boone is making this year, and Pears has been terrible.

I try not to stand on him. We don't need any more holes on our O line.

Simple - If he produces then pay him.
If he doesn't produce - say bye!
IMO, he's a high caliber player. Versatile and tough.
