Yeah, and if history of the team under Payton tells us anything, they'll be several roster moves in the first two weeks of the season...

Backup OT wasn't a concern last year because Peat would kick out as he'd always done; but, in light of his conditioning and probably lack of full recovery, there may be a need for it...

Then again, it might also help Will Clapp's case as he can play effectively at all three interior spots as well as RT in a pinch...

That’s the thing with Peat... They kept him at LG a lot and sent in Bushrod last year to play LT. If Peat doesn’t have that versatility anymore then I don’t know what we’re holding onto him for at $9.6 mil.

Was there another option at that price on the market?

Norwell would've been the only upgrade, but he signed for significantly more than that...

And I didn't get that either with Bushrod as he did very well in Miami as a LG, guess the wanted continuity for Peat and didn't kick him out when Mr. Glass took holiday...
