Rivers holds the ball way too long. Drew has a very quick release. It's why our 2nd tier o-line looked good last year.

No, not even close and he has to know that.
I just like that guard is becoming a surplus market.

Meh ....

It appears 5-7 million is what it may take for Fluker when for a few million more, we could have a shot at Warford, Lang or the Big Kahuna (Zeitler).

Hoping for the best.

On the plus side you can slot Fluker in at OG but any injuries at Tackle and he can swing outside.

Zeitler is going to get double what Fluker makes. Lang will get 8 or 9, but is already 29. Will be interesting to see if we are all-in or not

Zeitler at 9 mill or >, I say the saints should be out of that bidding war

If you can bring Fluker in for 3-4ml less than the top guards go for then that money can get you most of the way there for a new linebacker like Klien

True Dat! And for a few more million we could have Zeitler for stability along a good front line that is not as good as it looks. With Zeitler we will have a dominant line.......not a decent one with a quick release QB.
