( Merged)Skins Interested in Luke Petitgout

[sportscurmudgeon]

Folks, take a deep breath here.

Molinaro resigned with the Skins for the veteran's minimum. That is the kind of player you get for that kind of contract.

Luke Pettitgout is not a future Hall of Fame player by any means; he's a good and serviceable and durable - until he broke his damned leg last year - offensive tackle. Assuming his leg is healing properly and he's not one false step from a wheelchair, he will command a LOT MORE than a veteran minimum salary.

Stinchcomb, Carlisle and Reuben Brown are offensive linemen who are free agents - unless I missed that they have signed on somewhere already. Pettitgout is no better nor worse than any of those guys. And I'd be leery of Reuben Brown because he's got to be at least 35 years old and probably 37.

The choice is a young guy who's never started much in the league or paying more than the vet minimum for one of these kinds of guys.
