I wouldn't read into this, but Locklear was ranked 7th for FA OT's

RT Competition w/ J. Brown?

Definetely not competition with Brown. I know Brown was hurt last year but with Jammal you're talking about a guy that was rated among the 5 best tackles in the league as recently as 2008. And all the film I've seen on him says the talk of him coming back to form near the end of last year are true.

Not to mention Brown got the big contract. Locklear is quality depth. Still in looking at that list of backups I'm a little uneasy about the group as a whole. Hopefully someone will emerge during the preseason among Cook, Capers, and Smith.
