I think it's in our best interest to let him go back to the Vikings and go all in On Okung.

Okung is a 15% chance at best.  Hope you are right.

0% chance we sign Okung.

And again that was his fault.. Who does that??

Put a tag on a player then recind it after no FA are left..

Who does the whole rebuliding whole position groups after having a winning season..

He never builds on momentum...

   Still doesn't answer who? Which one of these shitty LTs did you want to overpay last year? All their teams let them go. And none played as well as Oher in 2015. So who? Before or after. No one expected the Norman situation, but we have 14M and a comp pick now. Worked out for all.

I can't believe we are in a bidding war for freaking Matt Kalil wtf

[carpanfan96]

First team to go 4 years and 11m plus yearly average wins the game. I think he's waiting on both the Money and the extra year on the contract.

I get the Kalil connection but I really hope CAR passes on him and Okung. Get Whitworth from CIN.

[Jay Roosevelt]

I have to agree, if we're talking about $10M+ per year, I'd just assume FedEx Andrew Whitworth a blank check for 2 years than overpay for Okung or Kalil.

[The Huddler]

my intuition tells me that it would be worth while for him to come here..

 

like explosion of his career

 

and a good story 

[Jay Roosevelt]

I feel like Matt Kalil has the highest ceiling of the available OT's, but that would depend on the family connection and Ryan helping to get the most out of his brother. If we're strictly basing it off of past performance, Kalil is barely in the discussion as a starting-caliber left tackle.

Okung is probably the best overall option in terms of age and ability. He's not as good as Whitworth, but is better than Kalil and still young enough to shore up the position for a while, unlike Whitworth, who would be a 2-year stop gap at best.

I'd hate to see us pay $12M/season on a guy like Okung, but we may have to. Gettleman knows we can't go into the season without upgrading at left tackle, especially considering the Oher situation and the lack of good options available in the draft.

And we've spent that "so far" on backups and giving CJ a raise...

Oh Okung we might have been able to get him last year...

[JARROD]

Our offensive line coach is really good-- revived Oher pretty good, has done a great job and some seriously undertalented guys.  We need an Oher replacement and Kalil still has the talent to be what he was supposed to be.

If we dont get the tackles shored up,... a running back will just get stuffed and make plus 3 gains to get to the line of scrimmage every play--- oh thats what we do now.

  One guy we might have been able to get? Nice plan there. All the 20/20 hindsight, and all you got is one shitty LT who wasn't better than Oher in 2015. 

And find me 2 DEs in FA, that are as good as Addison and CJ, and cost less than 9M against the cap next year. I'll wait. Was DE not a need?
