Yuck...
Like the same Glowinski that was a bust in Seattle but very good in Indy?
Like Brooks that was a bust in Houston and good in Philly? Lie the fatty that was a bust until he became Brady's blindside protector and won a Super Bowl?
I said at the beginning of the O-Line rebuild talks that there was a good chance that a FA signing wouldn't be a 'name' everyone would be familiar with but that doesn't necessarily mean it would be bad signing.
A bunch of the Playoff Teams had castoffs starting. Some were outright busts with their first team while others either didn't live up to their draft position or were beaten out and became expendable.
There aren't enough Priority Free Agents to fix this Line and there is little chance that the FO goes back-to-back picks in the 1st & 2nd. I'm expecting an under the radar signing and two of the first four picks being the bulk of the work done to fix this Line.
Now it's a whole other story if you don't believe Rick can identify a guy who will flourish with a second opportunity or doubt the Staff can coach a guy like that up. I can't really argue against that. But it is a legit practice in the NFL.
