    Seems like he had a couple of injuries to end last season. Knee, hip and back issues. Don't think he missed much time if any but that may be why he's still not signed.

    Will Beatty NYG is available as well??

    With us having the #1 waiver spot, Im perfectly content with Bell out. He was quite bad, obviously just good enough to still have a job, but if he had to play meaningful reps we're in bad shape.

    Now with a question mark at Tackle depth we'll have to see if JR can scour the FA pool come cut day. Its entirely possible we come away in better shape now that we might be forced to look elsewhere for our 3rd Tackle. Bell just isnt that talented, he's ridiculously slow.

    I agree. We're on the same page regarding JR finding the talent in other team's cuts. We need JR to be good at the talent evaluation part of who goes after. That's all I meant in the post.

    Talent evaluation is the MAIN thing I am looking for in JR.

    Based on his FA additions and guys he let walk Id say he knows what hes doing.

    Ben Jones and Rishard Matthews were very good pick-ups in a lousy FA class. Murray only costs us money that we have more than enough of, cant believe Philly basically handed him over for nothing..

    Im almost excited to see JR have to go shopping once or twice more after cuts.. I absolutely hated the idea of having Bell back.

    we also have fat ass Schwenke who will be allowed to compete for an inside linemen job, and we know he cant snap, so thats another Guard option we have.

    Tretola is a supreme candidate to assume that role.

    Any possibility of multiple rookies on the OL just frightens the hell out of me after Galik and Pot-Ass. Idk, I hope to god Tret. can prove me wrong. It's just I'm extreme biased and have a personal probation on ANY OL rookie (even Jack lol) after our sub par performances with rookie ol.

    I'm not trying to shoot down Tretola before he gets going, I'm just saying there's a bias before they even get here (and I know for a fact I'm not the only one that believes this) that they need to earn their way out of.

    yea the idea of having 2 rookies playing is a bit concerning...

    In all honesty, I would love to see a 100% new OL. They have been THAT bad of late.
