This guy is 340 lbs and one of the "less mobile" tackles in the league, no thanks. I'll take him as a NT though.

He was a starting tackle for a team that won the Super Bowl two seasons ago and he's only 29. Would he be an upgrade over an oft injured Jamaal Brown? Maybe or maybe not, but he'd certainly be great for depth. All I said is he's worth a look.

But the Steelers offensive line has been less than stellar for some time, their scheme and Big Ben's ability to make something out of nothing often hid the lines deficiencies. Starks isn't that good and wouldn't be an upgrade over Brown, if Brown is healthy which I believe he is. Now if Starks would agree to a cheap contract as a backup, that would be one thing, but not starting tackle money.

We do have to re-sign Brown first though.

I'm sure he is worth the look, but I was looking at it from a scheme perspective. I was under the impression that our scheme looks for lighter and agile offensive linemen. Plus I think there are better RTs out there.

Wilson graded out much higher than CR last year, of course it's tough to compare them directly because there are so many other factors involved. I just think CR is too inconsistent, and his inability to make plays (INTs) is well known. Time to move on.

I'm also hoping Barnes is ready to step up.

Reggie Bush Traded to Miami.

If Rogers caught at least half of the INTs he's dropped each year, he'd be considered one of the best, but sadly he can't catch a cold. I like the addition of Josh Wilson and we can let the market set a price on Rogers. Perhaps Rogers finds out that he has much less demand than he previously thought and wants to come back at a reasonable rate. That I would be fine with, but he's not good enough for #1 money.

As for Wilson, I like him and think he'll be fine. He won't be great though and he'll struggle with bigger receivers but he can also return punts which makes him valuable as well.

I really don't think anyone wants to deal with the guy. His career may be over.

I truly don't believe his career is over the guy has shown he can win in the NFL he's a little kid very inmature but he's no Jamarcus Russell. If you ask me I see you guys going for him Just because Shanahan has proved he can deal with inmature talented QB's in the past (Clausen)

They went extremely smooth, almost like they never happened.
