It will be interesting to see where he ends up. On one hand, he is a very good LG. On the other hand, he is at the age where teams are reluctant to pay huge amounts for his services, especially at the guard position.

I really don't have any predictions as to what kind of money will be there for him which makes it hard to even know if the Saints could be in the running.

At 34 years old, he is the oldest starting OG in the NFL. He was scheduled to make 6 million, refused a 1 million dollar raise so I'd assume he probably wants at least 8 million per season if not more.

He's from Alabama so maybe he wants to move back down South? He's Bob Baumhower's nephew by the way! Roll Tide!!!
