Wherever he is needed. If they fail to sign Okung or another starter quality free agent tackle, then they will need Britt back at RT.
Britt could be successful at either guard or tackle, but he just hasn't put it all together yet. This is a critical 3rd year for his development; one that will likely see him playing a familiar position.
Finally a voice of reason. I'm glad a lot of you guys aren't GM's.
You don't draft a guy, play him for a year, then decide he's worthless and get rid of him. If this were the case: Tate would've been gone, Chancellor would've been gone, Maxwell would never have had a good season for us, Lane would've been gone before we knew what we had.......do I need to keep going ? Hell Lynch's first year here was unspectacular.
So honestly, when has Britt had a real chance ? He had one year at RT, which like Kearly mentioned, Britt played in a spread in college so he needed an adjustment period. On top of that, he was one of the top run blocking Tackles in the league his rookie year. Then he got moved to Guard, which he hadn't even played in college.
So after all this, he's Garbage ? Really ? How many teams have cut their Tackles after an unimpressive rookie season ? I mean straight cut them. You're not going to find a lot, especially in the top half of the draft.
If anything, I think we see him slide to RT if Cable deems Gilliam ready for LT. It's all iffy, but I honestly think Britt is suited better for Tackle with his length and athleticism.
