Now either 1.) JC Tretter & La’el Collins OR 2.) Terron Armstead

And let’s head to the draft.

I'd do backflips if we accomplished option 1. I'm way more shaky on Armstead because of the injury history.

 

[miamirw]

I tend to agree. However it has to be both Tretter and Collins if we go that route. If we are only signing one veteran then I go Armstead and get a rookie tackle and center.

 

[FinPhan54]

So with option 1 we’d go -

LT - Jax/Eich
LG - Willams
C - Tretter
RG - Hunt
RT - Collins

Option 2

LT - Armstead
LG - Williams
C - Deiter
RG - Hunt
RT - Eich/Jax


Would prefer option 2 if we had a shot at Bozeman

 

[DefensiveEnd76]

I would be elated if we landed Tretter and Collins. Imagine an o-line with Tretter, Williams, Hunt and Collins.

U seem to have forgotten Conner at guard whom we just signed. One of the best guards in the league?

Williams is connor

 

[eMCee85]

Williams is connor

Connor is Williams. Finkel is Einhorn! Lol

 

[Ninja Foot]

Can Conner snap a ball, then block the sh1t out of someone?

 

[BC Phins4Life]

I will be surprised if they get or go after any of those guys. I feel that we may have already gone after some but players could be hesitant signing here because of Ross, new coach and non playoff team. That would not explain why we couldn't get Laken over the Jets if we tried

Prob better than deiter but let’s not play musical chairs with our line like last year

 

[Ninja Foot]

I'd kind of rather get a RT and C in FA and draft yet another LT. Then let em fight it out to see who's starting at LT.

 

[Kyndig]

Williams is connor

Sorry about that

 

[miamirw]

Apparently it’s a deep draft for tackles.

 

[Phinsince92]

Sorry about that

No need to be

So with option 1 we’d go -

LT - Jax/Eich
LG - Willams
C - Tretter
RG - Hunt
RT - Collins

Option 2

LT - Armstead
LG - Williams
C - Deiter
RG - Hunt
RT - Eich/Jax

When you consider that option 1 allows us to also throw draft picks at (apparently) a deep tackle draft class… it means you have 4/5 on your line that should be rock solid and 2-3-4 guys fighting for the LT position.

That sounds by far the better way.

You will always rather have 2 above average guys then 1 star and 1 filler. The term “you are only as strong as your weakest link” couldn’t be more suited for an NFL offensive line.
