UPDATE: Bears Sign 29 Year Old RT Shaffer

He may be an upgrade over Jansen but I'd rather see what we have in Heyer and draft an OT in the 3rd than pay for a 29 year old tackle that already washed out at LT.

Well, maybe, but maybe he could learn from Bugel. As was mentioned in another thread, Samuels got quite the lift when Bugel trained him. Not to mention, this guy has started 15 or 16 games for the past 6 seasons, not many rookies from the 3rd round will do that this season.

Possibly.. I'm not advocating starting a 3rd rounder at OT, rather seeing what we have in Heyer over 16 games and drafting the 3rd rounder because we need to develop young OL.

Sorry, misunderstood. I don't know much about this guy, but I think Cleveland's line was decent and this is just the Browns revamping, might give us a lucky break and let us use the draft picks elsewhere. I think Heyer would have to step up big from last year to be considered successful.
