Dude has held up well against some tough competition (Dexter Lawrence, Poona Ford, Derrick Brown). Might as well move on from McCoy (considering his injury history) if Fortner continues playing this well.

Probably, Simpkins. If he plays well.

Agree with McCoy. He may be our best player, but he is constantly having season-ending injuries.

That trade has kept the QB afloat. Glad he's done well, but I wonder if he can play guard

He’s been your best OL since he was inserted into the starting lineup and has graded out considerably better than McCoy.

I didn’t realize he was playing center at 6’6”. Maybe he makes McCoy expendable on the trade market

I think that's a little premature.

He had a groin injury in 2024 and tore his biceps this season.

Sucks but it's not like he's blowing out his knees or has a degenerative condition like Ram. He's 28 so it's is time to start grooming a replacement but I still trust him to center the offense so another few years.

No need to move on from a cheap UDFA depth piece

Him and banks have been solid. Fuaga has disappointed some but also battling injuries. Simpkins is serviceable. Need a guard for sure for next year though. Probably two. frick ruiz.
