Here's list of available O-lineman in free-agency.
Jahri Evans, New Orleans Saints (26)
Jahri Evans is continuing to grade out as the team’s best run-blocking linemen week after week. The Saints have done a nice job of efficiently running the ball through the middle and on the right side of the line. His continual high level of play and positive, team-first attitude should translate to a high-end offensive guard contract at year’s end. Expect the Saints, who have nothing but positive things to say towards Evans, to richly reward him for his hard work and production.
Logan Mankins, New England Patriots (27)
Logan Mankins has been a very consistent player for the Patriots since he was drafted. That type of consistency is difficult to match, but with free agency inflating the value of offensive guards, the Patriots may end up letting him walk if the price isn’t right. They drafted a couple interior linemen last year and have to use some of their free money to re-sign other players. From what Mankins has said, he wants to stay on this winning franchise, but he could be one of the top players available next offseason.

Man how nice would a line look with the following? Bold denotes returning starter.
LT - Marcus McNeil
LG -
Derrick Dockery
C - Kevin Mawae
RG - Jhari Evans
RT - 2nd Round Pick or Winston Justice
Levi Jones, Edwin Williams, young Center Prospect, and Heyer as backups.
Virtually impossible I know, but a man can dream can't he? Now if there was only a way to get a CBA in place that had no salary cap but still allowed young guys like McNeil to hit the open market
