Future LT?

[Snake]

Be ready to shell out around $10 million a year for a LT of his caliber. Not sure Gettleman would go for that. Someone will more than likely severely overpay for him in free agency. 

At some point if we get a top LT we will anyway.  I don't mind us paying because the G man knows how to structure contracts. If we keep winning about the only chance in he'll of landing a LT will be though FA.

Russell Okung's name is a good bit better than his game at this point. That said, he would be a gigantic upgrade over what we currently have. Not happening though, Seattle will find cap room.

He will be tagged. They all are, they're only about 15 true LTs in the league. The GM will word a contract in order to fix him under the cap.

Then Mebane walks, they are going to have to choose next year where they want to hurt. I love the fact we have only one must sign next year and that's Norman.

an injury plagued okung, who has never played a full season, plans to not use an agent and negotiate his own contract when he becomes a free agent.

the thought of he and gettlemen sitting at the negotiating table is almost comical.

not gonna happen.
