I say besides vet minimums, we stand still, trim some more fat (Streif), and roll the cap space over til next year.


I don't know man. A warm body at RT and LT is a scary thing in the NFL. I think if they cut Strief they could find a pretty good RT. I'd feel a lot more comfortable with at least one question mark filled in at the start of the season.

We've missed the boat on finding a veteran LT to be honest. We just don't have the money unless we went shopping in the old folks home.

I feel you about the uncertainty at OT. Cutting Strief is almost a must at the point.

I honestly think we're gonna be good at RT between Jones, Harris, Smith, and one out of Brown/Armstead. I also think that one of Brown, Armstead, or Smith is going to step up and win the starting LT job.

An ideal scenario would have been something like McKennie (just missed out on him), 1yr/$2mil and start Armstead at RT. Gathier is still out there, but who knows how much who is looking for. Like I said, I just don't see anyone worth the little bit of money we have left, and feel like we're better off using the cap space for next year.

Just missed on him? What? He only had serious conversations with the Dolphins, Chargers, and Ravens.
