I don't know about that.

Currently, only 4 OGs have contracts that average more than $10m a season:

$12.000m = Kevin Zeitler, CLE (27 years old; signed in 2017)
$11.700m = Kelechi Osemele, OAK (27 years old; signed in 2016)
$10.000m = David DeCastro, PIT (27 years old; signed in 2016)
$10.000m = Kyle Long, CHI (28 years old, signed in 2016)

And there are only 5 more guys making an average of over $8m a year.

Zeitler's contract is out of whack because CLE had to spend a TON of cap space this off season and they signed a couple of guys to bigger contracts than the market probably dictated.

Unless you think that Mewhort is a top five OG (which while I think he is good, he is not even top ten or probably even top 15 in the NFL), then I don't think there is any way that he will be paid an average of $10m next season.

Cheers,
