Oft-injured lately, but is he as good as other FA tackles and/or hold down the fort for a year or two?

"Long has landed on season-ending I.R. each of the past four seasons. There isn’t much left in the tank."

ESPN 's beat writer for the Rams :

"Like quarterback Sam Bradford , St. Louis Rams left tackle Jake Long is currently in the process of coming back from a second torn anterior cruciate ligament in as many seasons.

...

at the NFL scouting combine, Rams general manager Les Snead..said that Long has "turned a corner" in the past month or so.

"I can say this about Jake Long: you want that human being on the football team," Snead said. "He’s a football player, he makes you a lot better. As he rehabs, if he can get back to Jake Long previous knee, he can help the team win."

...

Long's return would seem dependent on coming back at a reduced rate. ... he could be brought back to provide some veteran depth...it would give the Rams something they lacked in 2014. Last year, the Rams offensive line started the regular season without a backup with any meaningful experience.

...

[but] bringing Long back at a reduced rate wouldn't -- and shouldn't -- preclude the Rams from drafting a tackle this year if there was one they liked."

[WOW!!]

Can he stay Healthy? ?

You can't be a bridge if you keep falling down..

See what I did there?? Lol

[Dingo_ate_Babies]

I'd take him.  Give him a contract laced with incentives.  If he doesn't pan out, no big deal.

Have to admit it would be kind of fun to see us sign another player who'd previously gotten into a big fight with us.

I'd give him a shot, heard he might retire but if he wants to keep it going then I don't see why not. Draft a young tackle to learn behind him

Well done, sir.  Haha.

Might not be bad for a low end contract laced with incentives. Also, TD could help him deal with coming back from multiple ACL surgeries. I wouldn't count on him as a starter, but let him compete for a starting spot.

When was that?
