Who should we go for in Free Agency?

GBay would love to retain Bulaga, just not at LT money and more than they pay their current pro-bowl guard. Also, GBay is hopeful that their recently-drafted-in-the-3rd-round back-up tackle (who was developing while BB was playing) can step into Bulaga's place without too much of a drop-off in the O-line's effectiveness. Throw in BB's injury history and GBay is content to let him walk.

At 7M/year or more, I suggest we follow their lead.

If we were to sign a proven 25 year old tackle, who gives a damn about the development of Moses? Not me because I don't think he's any good.

How much younger than Bulaga is Moses anyway - two or three years, at most? So that's a non-factor. Also, we don't even know if Moses can come back from his Lisfranc injury and he wasn't exactly a ballerina before he hurt his foot.

OK, I like Bulaga a lot and I'd like to see the Skins try to fix the OL sooner rather than later. On the other hand, you don't want to pay the price for him and you're willing to wait on draftees to develop (if they develop). Bottom line: we're not going to agree about the way the Skins should fix the RT problem.

Fortunately for you, it's very doubtful that Scot M. will be shopping on Rodeo Drive during Free Agency so I almost certainly won't get what I want.

Hopefully, the Skins will find some way to upgrade RT and G this off-season because I think the lack of good pass protection is hurting the confidence, and therefore the development, of our young QBs.
