And just wait til Armstead's knee flares up like it does every year because for some reason he's had a knee injury for 4 years.

This is where Lelito would have come in handy as Ungers backup. He played better at C than G.

We wanted him to start in 2014. Last year he was busy sharing time at LG when Unger was out.

From BleacherReport....

The center market in 2017 wasn't especially robust to begin with. After a couple of days of a weak class being picked over, the best shot NFL teams have at upgrading at the position is probably in the 2017 NFL draft.

1. Nick Mangold: If there's a quality starter left in the free-agent market, it's likely Mangold, whom the New York Jets let go after his injury-marred 2016 campaign. However, the former first-round pick is also a seven-time Pro Bowler who was at one time arguably the best in the business.

2. Brian Schwenke: The 25-year-old Schwenke started 28 games for the Tennessee Titans over the last four years. He was squeezed out in Nashville, but a change of scenery could be all the young center needs to take the next step.

3. Ryan Wendell: In 2012, PFF graded Wendell as the best center in the AFC while he was with the Patriots. That was a while back, and he wasn't as good in 2013 or 2014 and barely played due to injury in 2015 and 2016. Someone will give him a chance to try to recapture past glories.

4. Joe Hawley: The 28-year-old isn't a great center. Or even an especially good one. He is, however, hard-nosed and has started 52 games over the past six seasons with the Buccaneers and Falcons.

For a rent-a-player signing I'd take any of these 3, but not Wendell. Maybe these guys don't grade out as A plusses, but being a starter in this league does mean something.
