January 27, 201313 yr comment_115051 According to profootballtalk.com Jake Long is looking for at least $10 million annually. That would put him up there with dude from Cleveland as highest pd LT whose deal was 7 yrs $84 mil with $48 gtd. How many are willing to give that to him knowing hes had injuries for past 3 yrs now Report
January 27, 201313 yr comment_115052 Even if money didn't matter he's still 4 of spots down from the top of my list....If they failed to get guys like Bushrod, Albert, and Beatty I'd think about it if they can still resign Melton and Roach. He's still young and suspect they'd do their homework on his physical situation but there's no way I sign him if it means Meltons gone. Report

We can't give up everything for one LT when we have so many needs. Signing one of the second tier FA OTs give us room to fill out the roster and still makes our Oline much better. Report
