I suspect we will find out Grubbs was asked to take a pay cut and wouldn't.

Not proclaiming to have a crystal ball here, but I would have bet on this to be true and here it is...

Ya know, Payton might draft 2 tackles and turn them into guards. He's done that before. Remember Carl Nicks and Jahri Evans? They were both college tackles. He might even draft 3. Another to replace Byrce Harris.

after last year when Harris saw time at both RT and LT sold me on drafting a OT early in the draft. requirement #1 he must be able to swing. this is the big reason i like the Jake Fisher so much. not only can he play both but he has the skill set to be a start very quickly.

Well technically the best guards in this draft were tackles in college (Scherff and Collins.)

Rumors of something done with Evans

Sounds like he is just asking the question. Something will be done as we need the cap space

A trade/cut leaves $5mldead money opens $6ml in cap. A post june 1st cut opens $7.5ml leaving $3.5ml in dead money

Evans will rework or be dealt - don't see a release.

Really think it will be a pay cut
