Our next LT may not already be on the team, but...

He had surgery for a knee injury in April of 2013.  From what I know, he's just never been quite the same.

 

Could be more to it than that but I'd guess that's probably a lot of it.

 

 

Just from our own experiences, that sounds like microfracture surgery. If it is, stay the hell away from him. Long-time Panther fans know all about the fun we've had with our players who had microfracture surgery.

If you trade for matt, you also need to workout a new contract. I believe he getting like 4+ million and its only for one year....... that's not going to work given his play. Viking are in a tough spot, trying to get a return on 4th overall pick thats playing like a UDFA bell...... it wouldn't surprise me if he has a awful TC, he's cut. Or why brother if the viking are asking 3rd, just wait one year and sign him on the cheap.

How about this--Our next LT IS on the team.

 

Remmers is built to be more of a LT than a RT. He was a LT at ORE ST.   If we don't get the LT early in the draft, it makes sense to draft a RT and possibly move Remmers to the LT spot.

 

Before you laugh, consider the fact that he is a good pass blocker, weak run blocker at RT.  Now consider our system, what Gross did for us (finesse LT) and consider what he would face on the left side--it should make him average in pass protection and decent in run blocking--an upgrade.  At RT, if we get a pass protector who can run block better than Remmers, we upgrade 2 positions with one addition.

A lot of the time, putting brothers together is not such a good idea.  Ryan directing young guns he is not related to is hard enough, can you imagine your brother telling you what to do?  Sounds like a headache that Ryan doesn't need, he already has enough on his plate.
