So one thing I dont like coming into this year is what appears to be a lack of depth along the O-line. But with cuts coming up over the next few months we have to be looking out there to get some depth as we enter the season.

And most will say DUH....i know this has always been an option but I dont know how things are going and how guys are developing and coming along in OTA's and if we necessarily need to add anyone.

And some may say D-line could go in there but with Langford, Merling, Starks, Dionel, Wright, Fergie, Ellis, Soliai i think we are fine

So if we are gonna add anybody has anybody heard any rumblings about who could be close to being let go or any deals that could be done ala Farve last year that could get us some more depth along the O-line.

And do we need to add any depth are the project guys coming along as planned and are we set for the season?
 
I believe 2 of our OL cuts will wind up on another roster. I know they like to churn the bottom of the roster but I have trouble seeing us picking up anyone else- but that would have to depend on who becomes available. We have a low priority claim order for the waiver wire and we have grown a good team the FO is becoming comfortable with. Sure as Ireland said, they are never comfortable and always looking . Our only real weak areas are TE, G and ILB. Maybe NT. There will be few acorns that will be true improvements and other teams will likely claim them first.

I see other teams claiming 2 OL, 1 DE, I DB and 1 Wr from our cut list. If the right NT, ILB or TE is available, and by some miracle 24 other teams pass, we might make an addition. But that is fairly unlikely. Pracice squad will be another issue, but I still see the FO keeping the guys they picked and have broken in.
 
I think we really have good depth at O-Line and some young talent that may provide us with some surprises. The front office has really addressed this need over the past year.
 
I do not believe we will know if we have depth until the preseason games. Too many of our depth players need to improve from last year or prove they belong in the NFL.
