I wouldn't cut ties with Solder. But, if we do. Vollmer could slide to LT and we'd draft a RT. Look for someone 6'6" OT taller. Not sure Scherff, Clemmings and La'el Collins have the length BB wants in a tackle.
Coaches like Saban and Meyer push the players very hard. There's a bunch of injuries. You play 15 games if you make the title game. With no pay. I don't blame the players who leave school early one bit
I wouldn't cut ties with Solder yet either, but I don't see him being extended, awful health and questionable performances since his head injuries, Vollmer at LT is a smart plan, and I agree BB loves MONSTERS at OT, these top tier guys don't really fit that
For the offseason, I think our main FA priorities are retaining Revis, McCourty, Gos, Vereen, and Ayers, I'm Patrick Chung's biggest fan on this planet which is why I think he should take the outside money and run, he's very replaceable, I also obviously want Amendola released, with whatever money we have left maybe we can grab some defensive depth or a WR (Fitz? Colston?)
Draft wise, I would love to see us a DE early (Shilique Calhoun? Armstead? Edwards? Golden?), followed by a Day 2 OG (Kouandjio? Matias?) and legitimate WR options (Agholor? Funchess? Greene? Crowder?)
PS: Find me a better WR group than: Edelman, LaFell, Fitz/Colston, Dobson, and Rashaad Greene
Or a better LB trio than Mayo, Hightower, and Collins
The only groups that would rival us are likely PIT's WRs and SF's LBs
