Except for the fact that he's had knee injuries and everyone against taking him is saying he's damaged goods. Damaged goods screams back up role. So....sign him as a back up and tell him with coach Bugels help he may challenge for the Guard or Center spot. Either way it pushes our current players, puts the best man on the field, allows him to challenge for a starting role with a team (cough,cough) who is making a run to go deeper into the play offs, and he gets the best trainer in Buges. Buges has a way of taking people who have been written off by teams and making them Pro Bowl players...ie; Samuels. am I wrong?
I don't know the guy well enough to make an informed decision but....if we need O-lineman then it would be crazy for the HC and the owner to not take a look at him and see if they can under cut the other competition out there for a position everyone knows we need more people at.
It never hurts to make a phone call and see what he's requesting. All we as fans get are the rumors. and who knows maybe in his mind he's a starter and wants to play. good for him. can't hurt to call and see what the asking price is and if it's with in reason see if he would like to be a skin training with the best.
