I think he is a quality starter getting replaced by a HIGH priced rookie, and therefore he had to go. yes 3 years ago, he only started 6 games, 2 years ago he started 15, and last year he started the first 10. before that though he was a consistent 15-16 starter. No one, that I know, is saying he has lost a step like Jansen has (or it has been said). So if he we get him, he is the starter, and I believe he can backup Samuels as well. That is the type of player we are lacking, and who we have been keeping the last dollars of salary cap space available. I dont really know what would be a "right" price, but I think it is worth more than just vet min to have him. I am already glad they didn't trade a 6th round pick for him!

Given the circumstances his agent might try & find a 1 yr. vet min. deal w/incentives just to try & get his client in position to maybe land a long-term deal. I don't know of a team that has a greater need for a starter than the skins.

Pitt. has a need there, but I don't see them signing him. Oakland might throw a few extra dollars his way.

It would be curious to see if Pitt made a run at him, kinda like Canty with the Giants, the losing teams division foes make a good comparison to see if they think he is worth it.

I would love to see it. I like orakpo, but I was really hoping for Michael Oher. We need a tackle worse than anything. I don't get how we have a top 10 defense and a pathetic offense, and everyone says the QB has no time or protection from the RT, and we go after defense in the draft. I hope we address this need somehow and this guy would be an upgrade at some point.

I think Jones may be headed to Buffalo, where he has a chance to start. I doubt he would somewhere like Denver or even here.

I think Seattle may have a shot at Levi too, he's visiting them right?

Yup, he can take over Walter Jones' spot there.

I like Dhani's tv show so we obviously need to sign him.

EDIT: I was thinking about Dhani and not Levi.

[TheSmurfs22]

If we can get him for a decent price then why the hell not.

[DIRTEE]

Would love to see Levi but its already a lot of cluster/competition at RT. I really believe that Jansen can only lose the job.

[Nflnick11]

Bring in Levi asap !!he's better than most of our starters, and plays against two of the best blitzing teams in league four times a year (Baltimore and Pittsburgh ) he is the best answer at RT for us!!

Lets look at it another way. How many OL will Zorn keep? Especially RT? Jansen is a give due to cap issues. Then you have to decide on the rest. If williams loses his weight and turns out to be a beast he will stay on. Then who? Briggs? Can they move Jansen to Guard and get better production and then have Williams, Briggs, Heyer, and ? That's only if they are keeping 4 RT's. I bet they only keep 3 and maybe fill other holes on the OL. Now would it be wise to bring in Jones? Who might he bump? Williams, Heyer? Briggs played some Guard also so I bet if he's any good he stays.
