Guaranteed: $3.5 million
Phil Loadholt is one of the best run blocking offensive tackles in the NFL, but he sadly was unable to perform his duties when a torn pectoral muscle put him on the shelf during the 2014 NFL season.
There should be little concern for his value when he’s healthy enough to return. The right side of the offensive line with Loadholt and Fusco are a running back’s dream and are capable enough pass blockers to get the job done.
There should be no doubt that Loadholt will return for the Minnesota Vikings during the 2015 NFL season.
