Why not Eric Winston?

[Panthersguru14]

Maybe it's just me but I completely forgot about Eric Winston as an option for us at left tackle. He still hasn't been picked up by anyone and could be a decent 1 or 2 year stop gpa player for us until we draft one.

After we sign our draft picks he could be a steal!

Thoughts?

because he refuses to play for the minimum

I'm surprised he hasn't been picked up.  He's a RT, not a LT, but I figured someone would've picked him up as a stopgap or just veteran competition.  He's only 30.  Gotta be a reason for it you'd think.  Maybe teams aren't interested for whatever reason or, more likely, he and his agent are holding out for a better opportunity and more money.  He could see his value improve if a couple of OTs get hurt in training camp or pre-season.  At the end of the day, he may be able to find himself a situation where he can make more money AND skip training camp.  Win-win for him.

We gotta wait for him to come crawling to Getts

Most teams don't pick up many free agents around draft time.

 

Once the draft is over, then they start looking again.

Eric Winston is a RT, and I'm almost certain he has never even played LT in the NFL.

Well he is on par with Bell and Chandler then

[csx]

Rumored that the Ravens will sign him.

He's banged up and not the great. Maybe if we get desperate.

Winston is also a weaker tackle fit for a zone block scheme which we do not use.

Because he sucks.

You don't consider us desperate for a tackle?

[carolina-chuck]

Been vouching for him forever now!!!!

If Bell move to LT, Eric Winston makes too much sense at RT!!

Could end up here after preseason.

Because he sucks.

Yup look up his pff stats
