    Another quality OL available. This move is surprising, he's been rock solid on the right side of their line for years now.

    interesting move. another great option if we arent looking to build the rest of our line through the draft. I wouldnt be opposed to be bringing in 2 solid veterans. Our offense may have a chance to execute some plays next season if this is the case...

    This would be a great pickup.... He had a below average 07', but was a top RT before that.

    He was very banged up and played like crap last year. I would assume he is damaged goods if they are releasing him. He was a very solid RT for them for a few years.

    He's from Long Island- him and Brick would be reppin Nassau to the fullest. Bring him home!

    In all seriousness, if we can secure two veteran O-linemen in free agency, I'd be elated.

    They also cut Lorenzo Neal. I know he's 100 years old, but he might be a good stop-gap at FB. We need to get this running game going.

    Not a bad idea. I'm not a huge Owen Schmitt fan and sense he'll get drafted far too early to justify it. If we have the $$$, why not?
