Have we considered that Trent could retire? Either with or without Kyle knowing? Remember when Staley retired?

That was probably the best move in this regime (apart maybe from trading down from #2 to #3) whilst having zero intention of taking Mitch Trubisky.
Trent's succession plan is going to be vital to our next era, especially if we want that to be with Kyle and Lynch, which I do.
he retired when he signed the new deal
This. I hope he actually retires.
That's a weird thing to hope for.
No its not. Entitled, unmotivated, old, declining, over paid. Time to move on.
Who is replacing him since you have all the answers.
Also I can't stop laughing at the idea of a guy looking to play the LT position at a high level until he's 40 in the NFL being unmotivated...
Here is where his old, declining, overpaid, unmotivated and entitled self wound up
If I sort by overall ranking he's 6th on the list.
Was he at his best last year? Nope. Definitely regressed compared to his standard but he's still a top 10 LT that you don't replace cuz he hurt your feelings.
