I honestly don't think we should keep either one of them at this point. We have a chance to have a very young, athletic, and cheap offensive line next year.

Do not discount the effect that a veteran can have on the interior line. You don't want a bunch of young-bloods in the middle of the line for Brees. A good defensive line who knows how to do a lot of stunts and twists will really reek havoc on a rookie interior. Look at Dallas last year, when their amazing Oline (this year) was cutting their teeth. It resulted in a potentially career-ending injury for Romo.

To me, Grubbs would be the best candidate based on what I've seen this year. Evans looks lethargic and running high in mileage this year.

I don't mind the salary for Morstead. Given our downward trend of not capitalizing on offensive opportunities, I think a quality punter is pretty necessary. Not that pinning a team down on the 1 yard line matters much with this defense.

Their rookie guard is actually playing out of his mind this year. Given up 0 sacks and 2 hits all year.

He looks slow in pass protection, especially on the pick 6 last year. The cliff he fell off was real
