We need to do both. Get a quality stop gap and draft someone to mold behind them. Let's face it, there seem to be no Day 1 starters at LT in the draft. Need a solid vet and develop someone behind him. If we're going to get back to the playoffs, we can't have both Oher and Remmers as starting tackles.

I don't think we'd have to trade for Peters. I think if he fails to renegotiate, the feeling is that he will be released. I may be off on that, but I remember researching available OTs for us, and came across a few Philly papers/blogs that mentioned him being gone this offseason because of his contract. 

I would take a 34 year old Peters as a FA and then draft another OT later in the draft to groom behind him. I do wonder how much worse Riley Reiff would be though.... he's 6 years younger. Would we rather have 2 years of Peters or 4-5 of Reiff?

Wouldn't necessarily be mutually-exclusive moves, and Peters could (and probably does) have a few quality years left. Get the starter, develop the younger guy, add depth, gain draft and FA flexibility.

Depends on his value.  What is is contract worth at the moment?  He has lost a step so just like Whitworth, he would have a value to the Panthers but not sure it would be in a trade.  Probably wait till he is released and hope the Charlotte area would help get a small discount

    • You honestly think Tampa would have traded down with a division rival so their rival could land a “generational player” at a massive position of need for TB?   bruh
    • Ya'll better quit throwing shots at Zod. He'll come in here and ban everybody. I had a friend @prosource who was banned in 2015 because he said some very minor things about Zod being an ass to the posters on the main forum after starting the All-Pro one. He said he felt like another level is cool, but don't punch down on people that don't want All-Pro. (He did say that it wasn't going to last long anyways.🤔) I distinctly remember him calling and being like "dude, I got banned, my profile says I don't have access to the Huddle!") I feel like once Tepper came in and cut off all unofficial access to the team, Zod was going to be around less. The All-Pro board had really good photos, even in game stuff, and I remember seeing him behind a little fenced in area at Wofford for non team sanctioned press/photographers after Tepper bought the team. I knew then his ego wouldn't allow him to continue with past fervency and effort with that reduction in access. Dude was literally in the locker room when JR was owner.  I came over in 2011 immediately after finding out this place existed. I was super involved with the Charlotte forum, and fell off after its demise. I will never forget arguing Pep over Ryan Sims on that forum! Who is Ryan Sims some of you may ask? My answer is exactly!
    • And not see him running free. Because has been free a lot more than he gets credit for.    Now what XL does with that when he does see the ball, is on him.
