The Jaguars can have Parnell for 6.5. They're the Jaguars.

I agree on Parnell and I was not advocating signing BB for the money he wants. In fact, I think we shouldn't. We need someone at RT and he is the best option out there, but he is also an expensive option who likely retards the development of Moses. I was simply responding to this:

You may go gray waiting for Moses to develop.

GBay would love to retain Bulaga, just not at LT money and more than they pay their current pro-bowl guard. Also, GBay is hopeful that their recently-drafted-in-the-3rd-round back-up tackle (who was developing while BB was playing) can step into Bulaga's place without too much of a drop-off in the O-line's effectiveness. Throw in BB's injury history and GBay is content to let him walk.
At 7M/year or more, I suggest we follow their lead.
