Have any legitimate veteran lineman been cut yet?

[SauceBoss]

I know final cuts will be saturday/sunday, but I'm interested in keeping an eye out. We all know we need depth, but I haven't seen if anyone worth a damn has been dropped yet. I don't care if he's 35 and wants to retire, we need something for atleast this year.

[LinvilleGorge]

I doubt it.  Anyone worth having will probably be among the final cuts.  Keep an eye out on Tennessee and Buffalo.

Rivera and Gettleman really like their top 8 lineman.

With them only keeping 9 on the roster, ya really think they'll bring in another lineman?

I don't believe them.

[Leeroy Jenkins PhD]

Winston Justice would be a nice back-up

[Snake]

I will be shocked if they dont at least bring in one more Tackle as a backup. Who knows whats going on with Chandlers knee but if he goes down we are super thin there, like activating practice squad members there.

I don't believe them.

you'll be sure to be mad/disappointed.

you'll be sure to be mad/disappointed.

Gettleman/Rivera won't come out and bash the O-line and say things like "it's clear we need an upgrade". They are going to walk the line and say exactly what has been said thus far. If you don't think that they will take a shot at upgrading our roster if the situation presents itself, then you're wrong. 

 

The question is really if a clear upgrade at tackle becomes available, and if we can afford it with our current salary cap debacle. I think there is probably around a 40% chance we bring in o-line help before the season starts.

 

If we don't then I think the situation will turn out a lot like the 2011 season at the DT position. After Ron Edwards went down the consistent sentiment was dear god we can't really be entering the season with two rookie DT's, but that is exactly what happened.

No one better bring up Bruce Campbell.

[caatfan]

What they'll do will depend on who becomes available and at what price. I'm sure they've got a list and an idea of which players they like.

Why does Tennessee need Roos why can't we have him for poultry

my peraonal feelings of the line has heen more in line with the masses.

Aftrr hearing that they really like their top 8, the only way I see them bringing in somebody is if we are ravaged by injuries along the oline.

I don't care that we disagree. I just feel I'm being a bit.more realistic than most.

I wouldn't mind Wade Smith as a backup T. Think he could still be useful depth.
