Now that’s a Hog Molly!

He’s kinda bad.

While he’s a hog molly, he’s just never been able to produce as a tackle.

And fyi, if the Colts cut an o-lineman you know he’s bad.

Banner, 24, was taken in the fourth-round of last year’s draft by the Colts. However, Indianapolis cut him loose at the start of the 2017 season and he was later claimed off of waivers by the Browns.

Cleveland waived Banner on Thursday along with a number of players.

Banner is in the second year of his four-year, $2.94 million contract and stands to make base salaries of $555,000 and $645,000 over the next two years of the agreement.

In 2017, Banner was active for eight games.

During his college career at USC, Banner started 38 games with most of them coming at right tackle. He was a first-team All-Pac 12 as a junior and senior.

Most Colts O-Linemen are.

It's a positive that he was picked by Ballard rather than Grigson, though.

Move to guard?

Tall with long arms says tackle to me, but we'll see.

[Chardee MacDennis]

I was thinking - is this our Norwell replacement?

[Chardee MacDennis]

Similar overall measurements and numbers to Norwell except a bit taller and bigger.

Could be a right tackle guy

[Smithers]

Graded out better than Kalil, albeit on the side of the line.

That's apparently where he's played most of his football.
