Now they need to go out and get a 27 something year old tackle to back up at two positions.

Ryan Harris
Mario Henderson
Charlie Johnson

Or Heyer, I suppose.

Every one of those players: nothing but zone blocking schemes their entire careers. Exceptions: Heyer '07, and Harris the last two years.

Harris as a backup? Now that would be something. Still I feel like the Bears will get him to start, or at least the Lions. Remember the Lions played all three QB's (Stafford, Hill, and Stanton) due to injuries. In fact there was a point in the Giants-Lions game where Stafford (dressed for absolute emergencies) thought he was about to go back in because Stanton got hurt after coming in for Hill who was knocked out of the game.

I don't think I see a team out there that has a vacancy at RT for him to slide into. Denver, I think, is trying to go in a different direction and will part ways. But outside of them...Kansas City, Oakland maybe? If not them, he's looking at signing on in a competition at best.

What about Chicago and Detroit. Chicago actually tried to trade for him. And he could certainly beat out Corey Hilliard in Detroit. Not to mention J'Marcus Webb in Chicago.

By the way our old friend Edwin Williams might get a chance to start at Center in Chi town.

I think Hilliard is just placeholding until Backus comes off PUP (IF Backus comes off PUP -- if not, they'll need OL help). Webb is the guy in Chicago as long as Martz/Tice are there. They really like him at RT.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

I will get Harris signed in Detroit or Chicago

or Denver, San Diego, Oakland, Kansas City, Indy, Jax, Houston, Tenn, NE, New York, Miami, Buffalo, Baltimore, Pitt, Cleveland, Cincinatti, Philly, Washington, Dallas, Seatle, St. Louis, Arizona, San Fran, Minnesota, Green Bay, Atlanta, New Orleans, Tampa, or Carolina

Mark my words, Harris will be a Chicago Bear next season and he will start at RT when healthy

Brown, seventh-year pro, on Sunday agreed to terms with Washington on a five-year, $27.5 million deal. He chose the Redskins over Arizona, Kansas City and Chicago.

5 years $27.5Mil, same as Bowen.

That could be a steal. For a guy with his track record and the position he plays $27.5 million could have easily been the signing bonus. Makes me laugh when I think of how much money Chad Clifton wanted from us last year. Hopefully it reflects well on our culture seeing as how he got offers from two other playoff teams.

Confidence grades for Starting Line

LT - Trent Williams: A- (All the talent in the world but still learning the game)
LG - Kory L: B- (Plays the easiest position on the line and has the skillset needed to succeed in a zone blocking scheme)
C - Will Montgomery C+ (Upgrade over Rabach, and he plays with a very good motor but doesn't have a ton of natural ability. Maybe I'm just bitter about the team not drafting Rodney Hudson).
RG - Chris Chester B+ (Would grade out as a B for most teams but I love him in this scheme)
RT - Jammal Brown B+ (Much healthier now and really came around at the end of last year. Still say that we have a better pair of bookends right now then Samuals and Jansen in their primes).
