Faneca on trading block

[BeastsoftheNFCeast]

no way we are going after fanaca, he wants a derrick dockery contract, and considering their age, and the chemistry that dock had with our line, i would much prefer giving that money to dock, which i was not willing to do, so i wont do it for adam either. I think the skins are playing moneyball on the o line

You mean Alan. But overall I see your point

Our starting O-line is all veterans right around 30 years old. We resigned Wade and brought in Fabini. As far as I'm concerned that's a solid veteran core. We need to build for the future. And that means drafting an O-lineman. Wade will be fine at guard for a year. Faneca is very good, but he has a big contract and turns 31 this year. If we get him we will once again be sacrificing the draft for a 30 something highly paid veteran (His salary cap # for 2007 is $6.122M). Please no. O-line is one of our strengths, not a weakness.
