Any Interest If Okung Leaves Denver

[Soul Rebel]

Has an option that kicks in this offseason (I believe it's March of '17) that re-ups him in Denver for 2 more years at an avg of around $11M/yr I believe. If Denver chooses to not exercise the option, Okung becomes a FA. 

He will be 30 next season, but could be an Oher-esque signing. Put him beside a solid LG like Norwell and maybe we get a few good seasons out of him. 

Thoughts?

Only if we draft or sign multiple LT prospects or we will be in same situation ...

Of course, beggars can't be choosers, but obviously at a discounted rate.  He simply can't be trusted to play 16 games.  Remmers would inevitably still get work at LT, but Okung can be above average 70% of the time for another couple seasons I believe.

Trade for Staley/Thomas/Veldheer>Whitworth=Okung>Remmers=Matt Kalil>unknown, unproven rookie in a weak OT class.

I don't think there's any chance that doesn't happen.

He's a minor upgrade at best over Oher. Only reason for him to even be a consideration would be if Oher retires. If Oher does retire then yes I'd be interested. If he doesn't then no.

No. Already proved he's a crutch in Denver, and most fans view it as a failed grab.

Of course they hated how they got Stephenson as their RT more tho lol

I'd be so ticked off if we take a tackle in the first and expect him to start and make a day 1 impact.

So many other positions we could go ahead of tackle from the draft imo.

I would not mind bringing him in to compete along with other FAs and maybe a draft pick or two.   We have been seriously lacking in competition and that is what we need.

 you mean do what carolina has done every year. ignore the position.  there is nothing as far as OT outside of round 1.  its paper thin.  teams will be over paying their free agent olines to retain them because theres nothing available.

So, if we go for an OT with Leonard Fournette, Jamaal Adams, or Derek Barnett on the board, you'd be fine with that?

There's no OT worthy this year of a top 15 draft pick.

You mean Odung? Hell no
