Condotta is saying that teams might be wanting to bring Fries in for a physical, which they can't do until Wednesday. He's coming off a tibia injury.
Ok, so what FA left can come in and make an immediate impact?On March 12th? Hardly scrap heap time.
I hope you're right. It seemed that Olu should have been the clear starter by now. His development seems slow. Haynes, there was a story that came out last year about him being physically dominated, and that coaches weren't happy. Bradford, not much progress was made last year. Another penalty? Yeah, it was Bradford. Then they bring in scrap heap guys like Tomlinson, who don't work out.I'm not sold that they are as bad as many are fearing. Hell, they're all pretty young, couple of guys only 2d or 3d year. Many OL are just coming into their own by then. Young players do get better, no matter what many people say.
I'm all for making some moves, and I'm always up to draft good OL when the time comes, you have to keep guys going through the chain and all that, but I'm actually looking forward to what the kids can do with more experience and some good coaching.
It was scrap heap to begin with.It's basically scrap heap time now.
And the draft, but hard to imagine rookies making an immediate impact unless they are in the top rounds.
THIS, there weren't any decent players besides Fries and Minny overpaid. Coaching makes the biggest difference. Draft top tier prospects and coach them up.It was scrap heap to begin with.
No way man, they didn't get two future HOF lineman!!!!It was scrap heap to begin with.
We will, outside of a WR and maybe a QB, i can't imagine the other 3 picks being anything other than defensive and offensive line help. Maybe a TE, just depends on which one they love.We have 5 picks in the first three rounds. We'd BETTER come away with some solid line stock.
I would hope they would have Charles on their radar.Not sure what the early retirement circumstances were - but maybe worth a look?
Not super old and was part of a good LSU team in college.

I would bring him in for a look. Wouldn't hurt to check him out and before he retired he had had some success and was looking to take the next step.I would hope they would have Charles on their radar.
