How many more years do we get out of Jake Matthews?

Eh, above average tackle, 32 years old
I’d say 3 years
I hate that his career is probably on the back stroke now 😔 ..
2 more good years
More than McGary
70
Trent Williams is still one of the premier left tackles in football at 35.
It’s becoming more of a young man’s game but guys like Matthews with his history of durability and high level play into his early 30s can conceivably still last another 6 to 8 years.
IMO replacing him isn’t a top level priority.
Hopefully not for long. Still can’t get past his poor performance in the SB
The Matthews family are just built different. His dad played 19 seasons, albeit in a different era.
With good conditioning and a bit of good luck to avoid major injury, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s got another 5 years in the tank.
