I wasn't saying that he couldn't beat out Heyer, it is just that Levi probably wants to be in a position where he can be the starter and get starter money. Right now there's a competition for the RT position, with Heyer. I think the Redskins would need to convince Jones that he could be a starter in order to get him interested; not what people are saying that we should get him as a back up. I would love to have Jones here, I just don't think he's going to be interested in us unless a.) Heyer is out and he could come in and start or b.) no one picks him up and we become the best option for him.

It wouldn't be a competition if we signed him. They were hoping that a 450 pounder off the street could push Heyer.

Our line was and is in trouble and I think they need to sign proven talent now before it is too late.
