A LT thats never played left side before?

A LG thats never played left side/LG before?

A RT that immediately may put expensive Ram on the bench and we have Young and Ezirim just drafted that's a RT?

Ram is done. His knee is kaput. Fertig. Verfallen.

Fuaga will play RT.

If Ram is able to play, I could see the possibility of Fuaga at RG and Ruiz moving to LG. Or maybe they let him try LT. Can’t be much worse than Penning.

Right tackle. Not sure why people are overthinking this.

I think the plan is for him to play RT because Ram is done.

if by some miracle Ram plays, they will try him out at LG and LT

i don't disagree, but i think his contract was recently restructured just to allow for him to be a post june 1st cut. wouldn't have been feasible before that. i'd rather him be able to play and be a post june 1st cut next year. pretty big deal in that scenario.

Naw. Ram is going to get $6.5M and a roster spot this year so we can cut him June 1 of 2025...but we may have to keep him around in 2025 so this charade may go on until June 2026

sounds like it. i should've added earlier that it may not be a post june 1st cut this year, the man may just retire.

Pretty sure we guaranteed him $6.5M to not retire.

thought he already got it and was a condition of the restructure so that we could cut him/retire after june 1. i could be wrong. would like him on the roster as long as he can play for us.

This is the way and let him do a little line coaching. Help the team, get paid, and keep mouth shut type player.

You think we have a right tackle? I'll take that bet.
