    I know he'd like to start somewhere, seeing he hasn't missed a game in god knows how long, but he'd be some nice depth for our shallow OL roster.

    He's been cleared to play. As a 35 year old linemen, he may have no choice.

    I see this as higher priority than a flashy WR on a ball control offense, considering that logic defeats the purpose of a ball control offense.

    He dicked us two years ago. We could still use his punk ass though.

    He would be a great addition to this offensive line. We are already banged up and the season hasn't even started.

    I wouldn't mind seeing us get Runyan for depth purposes.

    Hell yeah! Another widebody to keep defenses at bay AND he actually plays the position instead of a transplant from who knows where. He'll contribute to keeping the Kid off the ground and help Jones at the same time... No brainer here.

    OT is our greatest depth need. I'd be happy with that signing.

    does that really sound right? he would take minimal money to come here and be a backup?

    is he a free agent? i am simply assuming he is.

    i just dont see this happening in a million years. the guy has been a top notch tackle for a long time. i really dont see him being a cheap backup at this point in his career.
