We have the best center in the NFL with many good years ahead of him. This is just to replace Byers who retired.

I don't know man..sign 2 centers in 1 day? Maybe Kalil's the real locker room distraction what with his full page ads and whatnotnwhathaveya

Kalil is safe for this year.  He has a $7.3M cap hit, but there would be $18.5M in dead money if he was released.  The cap hit vs. dead money is pretty even in 2015 with a $11.8M cap hit and $12.1M dead money.  In 2016, he'll either be gone or get extended.

 

My god... we're going to have a center with an $11.8M cap hit...

Looks like Velasco started some but had an Achilles injury. Some depth. Not sure if he can play guard though.

 

Played a little LG for Tenn before his stint in Pitt I believe. Very solid pickup if he is over his injury. Better than Scott and some of the other pickups we made last year.

 

I Guess this means Wharton is done.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him extended after this season or a June 1st cut. Next year is an equally bad cap situation.

      Defensive Tackle: The Need that Shall Not be Named

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      Great post! Now that I think on it, I think D line might be our biggest need. We are one player away from having a potential disastrous defensive line. Brown and Wharton struggled last year and Wharton has really only been a rotational player that specializes in one thing. Can we count on him being a full time starter? Jackson is unproven. Do you want a starting defensive line of Wharton, Brown and Jackson? I don’t want to risk it.   I honestly don’t think linebacker is that big of a need. If Rozeboom ends up coming back then why get a LB?   games are won in the trenches and I would honestly prefer us drafting an offensive or defensive linemen over any other position in the first. The prospect you mentioned seems like a good prospect who has had some good production as well. Only problem is defensive line is a position that can take time for a player to develop. Will whoever we draft be ready this season ?

      Have they though? I'll give you KC with Kelce, but c'mon, they weren't winning those SB's because they had a great TE, it was a combination of Mahomes and some great defenses.  Will also give you the 49ers and Ravens with Kittle and Andrews, but even then, both have missed time with injuries the last few years. After those 3 teams, the best teams of the last 2-3 years have not had elite TEs The Eagles had Goedert, he's good, not great. The Bills have also had good but not great TE's The Rams have had average TEs and still consistently run 2 and 3 TE sets with them and still win. The Bucs have been winning the South without a great TE The Lions' Laporta is more a name than a highly productive TE. The Texans have had a serviceable TE in Shultz, but nothing too amazing. Some of the best TE's in the league the last few years have been on some of the worst teams.  McBride, Bowers, Warren, Njoku, even Pitts this past year. A true elite TE is absolutely a weapon in today's game, but I think the best teams use that money elsewhere and find serviceable TE play, usually through a committee where each TE brings something else to the table.
