Keep Peat at guard.

How many games did Peat have to finish at LT? How many games was Peat a starter because Armstead was a late scratch, unavailable? It's a problem.

We had an elite offense with Peat - Kelemete - Unger - Warford - Ramczyk. Why not save cap room and set the line up for the next three, four years NOW?

And with the cap room we can sign needed depth for both the offensive line and front seven of the defense; you and I've beat the drum for the front seven ad nauseum...

Plus, by giving Kelemete this opportunity, you to keep him at a friendly cap number & you send msg when you work hard as he has, you'll get rewarded in New Orleans...

Having Peat @ T ... meh. Andrus has become a true IMPACT player at guard. I trust the Saints front office will locate another (see Warford) "youngish" right tackle in FA. And you don't have to pay top dollar to get another solid Warford type - impact.

I'm all on board for bringing back Kelemente. Reality is that a team with worse O line issues may offer Senio ridiculous money that we can't match. You still have #9, Okafor, Coleman, possibly Vacarro

and a host of others that you have to pay.

Saints have coaches who know how to develop O linemen. We'll be fine.
