And not so long ago, folks posted that Connolly was not one our top three OL's. BTW, that was within the last week when someone was agonizing how we could get our top 3 OL's on the field at once: Vollmer, Solder and Cannon.
In theory, Connelly can still play the role of center while having the aforementioned 3 players on the field--but I do think that Cannon is a bit overrated by some here on the forum.
I do agree that some (myself included) had him on the bubble a few months ago due to his salary, but it did not appear that either of the 2 rookies stepped up enough to justify that kind of move; especially after Mankins was traded. I think we'd all have freaked out had Connelly been let go at this point.
