They are both decent depth. I doubt their contracts say that they have to be starters.

The term decent in this case is very much debatable. When the oline is in Sam's lap I think we are seeing best case with some of these linemen. We have sunk 14 million guaranteed between the two if they aren't starting material then it's time to see what we have in the younger guys.

We need to do everything we can to sign Terron Armstead away from the Saints. I just don’t see how they will have the money to keep him. There are no other legit LTs worth throwing money at. We can’t keep ignoring the position and we have the cap space to sign him to a monster contract. He will probably be the most coveted FA of 22 if he hits the market. 4 years 100 million idgaf.

Use our first rounder on the best center in the draft since there really aren’t any decent free agent centers coming up except for Kelce who will be 33 or 34.

If we can keep grooming Brady and Deonte to be our guards of the future our line will be looking very much improved and maybe not a complete liability for once.

FA isn't really a great place to find OLINE talent these days. You have to draft it. Erving hasn't been horrible but we definitely can't sit with him as LT next year. 

I agree, but that Detroit LT was a started even after they drafted Sewell. He lost it because of injury and Sewell is playing well...So this is unique to me. But I do agree with you that good OLINE is normally thru the draft.

Sign the best FA lineman available and invest heavily in the draft.  Spend our 1st rnd pick on the best o-lineman available as long as it isn't RT. Also re-evaluate our coaches and scheme. Hopefully with Morgan aboard we'll make better decisions with our free agent signings. 

Fwiw we have 10 in dead cap by cutting Irving and Eflein but save 9 million in salary . So that's a +/- of 1 million. No reason we can spend again this upcoming FA period. We just need to get it right.

    • I'm suggesting that whether it's Mingo the receiver we just acquired from the Steelers the new rookie WR we are soon going to be drafting or whomever our QB still has to be able to get them the ball and particularly on deep passes. Or defenses will keep playing us exactly the same and we will be circling back to the same threads yelling at each other over why we think this or that receiver sucks.
    • I didn't say it was all on one player and only about winning and losing. But you also want your team to at least have something to build on from losses. Something positive to look back at and say hey we didn't win last week but we had a couple of decent drives to finish the game. Instead of getting your poo pushed in for 4 quarters by a team missing their starting QB. Why do you feel the need to pull our only MVP in franchise history into this? We aren't talking about Cam Newton. Different player different athlete different vibe different everything. That guy went to a Super Bowl with Ted Ginn Jr as his #1 WR. Nobody is expecting Bryce Young to be Cam Newton. But we're certainly expecting him to be more of a leader than someone like Sam Darnold or Teddy Bridgewater who let's be honest were both a couple of milquetoasts. Especially when you consider that Bryce's leadership ability was 1b to the 1a of his processing ability as the key selling points of selecting him first overall. And I'm going to have to vehemently disagree with you trying to draw a correlation between simply asking for our #1 pick to spend more time this offseason building a rapport with his receivers and people basically saying CJ Stroud has a low football IQ or poor leadership or low character because of his father or that he's a diva because he didn't attend Peyton Manning's QB camp or because he went to an event wearing one piece of jewelry around his neck instead of sitting at home doing nothing until draft night. Bryce Young has already been afforded the benefit of the doubt before and following the draft. Certainly moreso than CJ Stroud was. And that is a fact. He is now facing the biggest test of his life as an athlete. I sincerely hope he responds and brings an edge this season. But so far I haven't seen anything to indicate that since finishing with one of the worst rookie seasons of the last few decades he's done much to alter his approach to development that he has operated with since high school and college. Some other QB's who already have the necessary physical traits to overcome other lacking areas might be able to get by without doing that. But unfortunately Bryce Young is already an outlier among outliers. He does not have that built in physical advantage. If he is going to succeed he's really going to have to put in extra work. Yes that involves forms of leadership. That's all I ask. I keep telling you this and explaing it from different angles but you keep trying to circle back to trying to portray me as hating or unfairly placing expectations on him like he's a newborn child and that might work on a social media site speaking on his behalf but it isn't going to matter to any of the defenses he's going to be facing in 17 regular season games next year who already have the majority of a season worth of game tape on him. I feel like I've said all I can. I don't see it necessary to derail this thread any further.
