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

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.

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.

Patriots are a smart franchise why in the hell would they want Matt freaking Kalil?lol

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

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.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
