I strongly agree.Too bad...He would've Automatically been our 7th-best OLman...
Another dude with experience here who signs elsewhere for cheap...
Know who else aren't the biggest fans of our OLine right now? Jim Miller & especially Pat Kirwin of SiriusXM's Moving the Chains this afternoon; and for the same reasons that have been discussed here: Our fingers-crossed starters at OT, the lack of proven quality at backup OT, and an overall lack of proven quality after the top 6...Their highest-graded player was David Andrews; they really like him, justifiably...
That being said, Belichick can sign a veteran backup later if he wishes. I suspect that he is planning on using the Practice Squad for backup IOL's. He's never want to spend much on them.
I expect us to carry 8 OT's, including the obvious six, plus at least 2-3 OT's. If Belichick chooses to have another IOL on the 53, that player could be acquired in July or August.
