Unrestricted Free Agents Who Might Help

I'm sure teams are going to cut good players with inflated contracts to take advantage of the uncapped year. Yeah they'll have to pay the contracts but teams like the Skins won't have to pay ARE (not saying he's good) 8 million for the next 5 years when the cap is put back into play.

We're going to be players as always.

Mawae was just cut. Yeah he's ancient (39) but he's still playing at a high level and he was the heart-beat of the line that paved the way for Chris "the Freak" Johnson to have the type of season he had.

I'd rather draft an OT at 4 (or trade back and re-stock picks and then draft an OT) and get an interior linemen like the G/C out of Florida Pouncier (i think that's his name) with our second pick and build our line that way than go with the old-timers and hopefully we do.

In principle I agree. But we have so much work to do on the OL that we may need to get a geriatric fill-in or two for a year or two. This mess of an OL will not get fixed over night.

It won't be fixed overnight, but investing on a franchise left tackle is a helluva good way to start. I also hope that we have gotten better at scouting talent and/or get lucky to find the offensive lineman version of Chris Horton.
