Here are your OL Free Agents after this season

[Captain Morgan]

There will be a LOT of competition for the good young ones.  They will get paid.

We're going to have to bite the bullet and spend some money.  It will probably mean letting one of our defensive stars go.

If we draft one starter like Linderbaum, and sign one good one, we'll be a lot closer.   We had a 2nd round grade on Brady as a guard, so if he pans out we'll have 3 new good ones alongside Taylor.

LT is, as always,  ....oof.

I will take one of each

[KillerKat]

I think center is the biggest need because Paradis is throwing everything off and everyone has to compensate for it.

Time to pay up and stack the offensive line with talent via FA, trade and the draft. Whatever it takes. Cant afford one more offseason ignoring the biggest weakness on the team over the last decade

hurts not having our 2nd and 3rd but not complaining.  Darnold was more than worth it, and we have reason to hope that Rhule can rehabilitate our new corner by next year.

So it we go the trade route, it'll have to be 2023 picks....or one of our valued players.  The question is, who are we willing to part with who is capable of being a long term player for their new team?  If we go this route, it's gonna hurt.

We’ve gotta break the bank on o line, or hit in the draft. The current situation is untenable. 

[LinvilleGorge]

We gotta get Brown and Christensen on the field at some point to see if they can be the answer, because outside of Moton, the rest of these dudes we're playing certainly aren't.

[Stuart Smith]

I wonder why we haven’t seen the Rookies even for a few plays, I wonder if there is a problem learning the play calls or they don’t appear ready physically. With the play of this line I have to wonder how much worse it could be.

Good news is we aren’t dealing with Hurney anymore, gotta trust Fitt to unscramble this mess.

Yeah we should really give Tackenburg a chance.  Throw Christenson in there and maybe Brown.  The OL needs a reset badly. 

[frankw]

Center above everything. If we moved on from Erving it would cost us over 5 million in dead cap and if we move on from both him and Elflein next year it would be ten million in dead cap. Odds are they aren't going anywhere. Bad signings.

Christensen played some against the Saints. He was ok.

[Cdparr7]

If we are smart, we go get at least 2 big name OL free agents and use our 1st on another. 
 

We will have the salary cap.

Does Paradis appear ready physically?
