sweet...perfect deal length. 2 years! If Brown ready next year we can trade. good move imo.

or keep both and get rid of the stench on the right side of the line.

Stinchy was hurt last year... he's a solid RT.

He may only be average in pass protection, but his ability to pull and block at the 2nd level is outstanding.

He's a keeper in my book.

Brad Smith went to Bills. I'd like to see Sproles if the price is right.

This was a VERY smart move by Loomis and co. Now they can take a little time to find his replacement. As I said in other posts, he needs to be replaced, but its not urgent enough to go out and do it in a shortened offseason.

Great news!!!

Good news. I would've been OK with Strief or Brown at LT but now we don't have to worry about it. there are certainly better left tackles than Bushrod but this gives us a decent starter with continuity for the line which is a big big deal.

Now let's get Goodwin and Nicks done.

Perfect scenario! This will give us time to see if C. Brown can develop into a starter while maintaining a NFL-quality starting LT in Bushrod.
