So... Any Starting Caliber LTs Available in FA or via Trade?

[Proudiddy]

Because damn...  we badly need one.  Badly.  Need.  One.  Now!

Let's just trade Matt to the Patriots now that Wynn is out and get something out of him. No drop off with Clausell there...

Agreed this is bad. What made them think Matt was the answer again? He should go out the door with Ryan after this year.

A decent backup caliber LT would be an improvement over Kalil. I honestly believe that had Darryl Williams not gotten hurt we might be giving either him or Moton some looks at LT. Kalil is a huge liability, both on the field and against the cap.

I never wanted Matt and was very vocal about him being a significant downgrade from Oher...  but, i was hoping we could work around him...  it is clear, we can't and i don't want him getting Cam hurt.  I want him out of there ASAP.  As you said, I'm convinced there is a backup LT out there somewhere that is significantly better than Kalil right now.

Overreacting 2 TE set will solve the issues.

We shouldn't have to limit our offensive diversity and complexity because we have to hide one huge liability.

No...

We're just gonna have to bite the bullet and cut him next year. It's going to be brutal against the cap, but it has to happen. Post June 1st he'll hit us for about $6.5M next year and in 2020.

They wanted Kony Ealy, Philip Dorset, Brandon LaFell, etc. etc. Belichick best coach ever... Far far far from best GM ever

He's a pretty good GM too obviously, but yes, Brady does hide a lot of those deficiencies.

They got those guys for next to nothing though. No one is trading anything for Kalil with his contract.

I was obviously joking... but regarding Dorset they gave a backend starting QB/top backup with 3 years on his rookie deal, that's seriously valuable. Ealy was the equivalent of like a 4th and they've wasted many first rounders on sh*tty players.
