After what we saw last year, do we really want them both back? I guess if you can negotiate to keep them for around what their dead money is, then it doesn't hurt for depth. But we should really be looking to get some new blood in there whether it's Lelito, a FA, or a rookie.

All 3 interior spots were pretty bad last year. Hopefully Lelito can win one spot, another won by a FA or rookie, and since I'm guessing we'll keep one of Grubbs and Evans, they can hold down the 3rd spot and hopefully improve from last year.

You'd want the best of the two back, for sure. Depending on where they put Lelito (probably Center), you'd be dealing with two years of experience between the entire interior line. Throwing out an entire interior offensive line like that is something you do in a rebuilding year, because that type of decision is a risk to any quarterback. Any year with Drew Brees under center should be treated like we have a legit chance to win it all.

My thoughts exactly.....Plain and simple, we were bad on the interior last year and keeping any of Grubbs/Goody/Jahri does not make us better at those positions....I have always like Jahri and the way he goes about his business, but we need an upgrade at both G's and C
