We have the money and we supposedly were waiting for the DW decision. Well, it's been made. What are we waiting for? Sign one of the two premier tackles (if not both of them) right now! And after you do that, sign JC Tretter and be done with the process! I don't want to hear any of that nonsense about we're going to coach up the guys we have. BS. Build the wall with the strongest foundation AND coach them up. No excuses. What point is Grier trying to prove by saving 10 to 20 million against the cap. We don't sign ONE decent tackle, and our oline sucks again, WHAT have you proven???? I ask you, what is the downside to installing BOTH Tackles and your Center with stalwarts - even overpaying for all three - so what?! Do it and your OLine will be good for 5 years!

So frustrating. And for what? What is he trying to show? That he can put us in good cap position every year? You MUST give Tua a chance for a full evaluation.
 
I must have missed all the offensive lineman signing elsewhere.
 
We do know you don't just go out and sign whatever player you like. Teams make offers then the player and agent do have the right to say no thank you or opt to see what some of the other options might be.

We get it
We get it
I really want to like Grier
but the true of the matter, is he not a very good GM he’s just average.. But we see the plan even if we don’t like it ..
We have seen CG sign 2nd hand free agents, after the market has dried up back to back years now.
That’s his mo..

I am afraid things don't work as easy as this. A bidding war usually happens but how often do teams that outbid for a player end up in the higher end? Other than the Rams signing players and taking in trades, a lot of the super bowl winners came from more balance teams that were able to attack in the air with a line with 2-3 average players and about 1-2 league leading linemen.

I would agree with you with regard to the Armstead and Collins signings, but not with the Trettor signing. We haven't even made him an offer. I get that we are waiting for Armstead, but there is no reason why you can't sign Trettor now. Bozeman just signed with a team today. He's in the same boat as Trettor.

The entire tackle market is waiting on Armstead. Once he signs they will start signing. He is setting the market

Maybe but sad part is they are not rushing to sign up for our team at the most glaring weakness on our team. Just hope it's a cunning plan thats going to bear fruit. Me? I'm thinking it's going the usual way. Draft.
 
This is getting out of control. If no tackles are signing because everyone is waiting on Armstead then we can not do anything about it but wait. The Dolphins and Grier can't do anything about it but wait. Who knows what they are doing behind the scenes that we don't know about. It's not like other tackles are being signed and we are not doing anything. NO TACKLES ARE BEING SIGNED BY ANYONE YET.

Once Armstead is signed and all other quality tackles are gone and we didn't get any then I will be pissed off but until then, there is nothing anyone can do but wait.

So because Collins chose to visit the AFC Champions before visiting us that means no one is lining up to play for us? How do you know that none of the tackles want to play for us? For all you know we may be in talks with a couple right now but everyone is waiting to see how much Armstead is going to get paid so they can maximize their contract.

Relax and wait.
