Remember when some folks here declared the position a resounding success for years to come?

Good thing we didn't trade up into the 2nd round to draft an injured RB instead of taking a center

who by the way made the all rookie team

If we part ways with Corbett we have 8 million in dead cap space.  Trying to keep without guaranteeing anymore (since we guaranteed most of his last contract with little return.), would be the smart move.  Make it incentive based  with roster bonuses if he goes along with it. Otherwise you have little choice but void him out.

If the money is friendly i don't have a problem but don't go into the year without competition

This is good news, as long as the deal is team friendly. Corbett has been rock solid, even at Center, when healthy.

TD had 3 ACL tears and still had a Hall of Honor career here with multiple Pro Bowls and an All-Pro. 

The injuries suck, but it's nothing that has been career threatening.

He's been an above average player when healthy. If he's willing to structure a deal to protect the team, I'm 100% on board.

100% agree. This line could be Top 5 with a healthy Corbett

I get where you are coming from for sure, but center is a critical position. Mays was not exactly lighting the world on fire and we have zero depth behind him. I’d be fine with signing Corbett to a team friendly deal or drafting someone. They are prob thinking that with as many holes as we have it would be nice to focus on other areas on the team with our draft picks this year. 

Mays played well.  I watched him, expecting a let down, and he got better each week. 

Mays was a better pass blocker than both guards.and Corbett.   Discuss.

At least when Mays was in he wasn't getting pushed back constantly into Bryce like our last big signing at center, Bradley Bozeman. Mays held his own and I think he earned the chance to compete for the starting spot fulltime.

Yeah this is great ammunition when trying to get a team friendly deal out of Corbs

Only way this makes sense, if its cheap.

Like has been posted, he's had two severe injuries over two years that's limited his GP. 

Need to wait and see what happens.

He’s going to get injured again…that’s what’s going to happen.

I mean, the greatest ammo is the injury history. That will lower his FA value tremendously.

He is a very capable OG IF healthy. He was a middling center, however. 

It is a shame this is such a weak center class and we passed on Zach Frazier last season(I know, this dead horse again). 

Eventually we have to get serious about addressing C because both Corbett and Mays are the obvious weaknesses on the OL.

The problem with this franchise is the amount of dead horses that are laying on mint st
