And Brax needs to take another step up with his pass protection.  I think he will.

I think the pressure is still on Poles for at least 2, maybe 3 more off-season efforts. 

We have a ton of folks who will be UFA in 2024.  Here is a link to the list.  Just a short list to the names includes Cole Kmet, Jaylon Johnson, Justin Jones, Chase Claypool, Darnell Mooney, etc.  There are several other players.  Luckily there are no likely starting OL folks on that list but, if you look at it, there are a lot of probably important players on it.

If you look at the 2025 UFA list, it stats with Eddie Jackson, Cody Whitehair, Tevin Jemkins and Larry Borom.

IMO, Poles is going to have to maintain his draft/FA "A Game" up for a while.

I do like how Poles has set this up so that he can keep the best and easily walk away from the rest.  Instead of having to cut high priced underperforming guys and take the cap hits that come from that, he has a number of guys on "prove it" deals.  If they do prove that they are a good fit here then pay them... but you don't find yourself overpaying dead-weight guys right now.  I'm not saying that's how to do things long-term.  But for right now, after the teardown of the roster last year, it does make a LOT of sense.
