I don't want to start a new thread or derail this one, but Eric Fisher should be looked at also. Fisher came back last year only 8 months after knee surgery and you would think he would be better next year. 

It was actually a surgery on his achilles and he came back super early, the knee injury occurred in December and he was also dealing with a toe and pectoral injury.

With all of that in mind, a prove it deal for Fisher would be interesting.

Also keep in mind...I wouldn't mind this....make people think we want Willis at 6...make people over bid to trade for 6th....bam....pick up multiple extra picks and move back a little further in draft....

If we really want Willis, we wouldn't trade 6. Teams would be looking to get to 5 if they believe that.

A 1-year deal would allow us to trade back for someone like Tyler Smith from Tulsa who might have the highest LT ceiling this year, but he needs a year or two of coaching. Play Tyler at LG for a year then move him to LT. I prefer one of the top LTs, but if we can trade back for Smith + a QB, it is an enticing idea.

They’re really determined to be able to take a QB at 6, in the worst QB draft in a decade, aren’t they?

I don't think a 36-year old LT impacts their draft plans. It will be a 2 year/$25M type deal if they sign him. He'd give them some stability at LT, give them an opportunity to cross-train BC without throwing him to the wolves, and leaves their options open at #6. Neal or Ekwonu could play LG for a year or two if they take either of them.

Think they're setting themselves up for BPA here. At 36 Brown clearly isn't the long term answer but if one of the top 3 OT fall you take them, kick them inside st LG for a year or 2 and run over every single team in the league. 

If the top 3 are all gone you've got your pick of a QB or either of the two DEs and still have a capable LT on opening day without having to rely on the unknown of BC. 

Id prefer Amrstead but wouldn't hate this signing if the money is right.
