Not Stephon Heyer. Noo.

Yeah, sorry, even I can't muster up enough enthusiasm to want to bring him back.

Unless we can get Ryan Harris or Gaither i think Heyer is our next best option.

Gaither already signed with the Raiders. And if we could get Ryan Harris here to backup Brown/Williams that'd be great. Heyer is very limited talent wise, and he's also the bigger/slower type that doesn't excel at zone blocking. In short, not a great fit.

A one year contract for Harris to play backup would be insane. However there's to many teams around the league that need to upgrade a starting tackle spot.

This. While I am no great Heyer fan, we need tackle depth. News from camp is that Capers is struggling. Gaither is gone and Harris may not want to be a backup. Heyer's departure may not be the blessing it seems.

Capers is no great shakes (never was, really), but I really like the Willie Smith UDFA signing, and think he could be worth a 53 man roster spot. I also really liked Xavier Fulton in the 2009 draft, and think he could be in line for a spot here.

There are, I think, two spots available for players who didn't make the team last year at the OL position (not including Chester), but potentially a third since Artis Hicks is hardly a lock to be back. So plenty of opportunity to bring in youth.

Say it ain't soooo. You just wait, he is the Chris Wilson of the O-Line!! I'm getting my Capers jersey now, before the rush!

Listening to the camp reports, Willie Smith is turning some heads.....

I want to keep him as a guard, don't know if this is his situation but more tackles could become starters if they bit their pride bullet and went guard, he looked alright there
