Brown is signed through next season so I expect them to keep him. I would be fine with that if they have his successor on the roster next year. Although he is only 29 his injury history is more my concern than age, so “aging” was probably not a good word choice there, but the fact that he hit the open market and came back on a 2 year deal is some indication that he isn’t a player one would expect to be there for a very long time.
So yes, I want to see them greatly upgrade the OT position this offseason. I think it is the top priority for their roster, just not in the way you put it in your reply to me. I expect Wynn is going to be gone so that leaves Cannon, Cajuste, and Steuber from the current roster. They need to inject talent there, through free agency and/or the draft, without overpaying or overdrafting as they obviously have lots of other needs to address. Whoever winds up at QB needs to be in a lot better position going forward with his OL. I’m not totally sold on Mac and certainly not on Zappe but I see enough with each of them to feel they can be solid, and in Mac‘s case more than solid, if they are not in scramble mode as much as they seem to be currently.
I went back and forth in my post above about whether I feel the talent or the coaching is the #1 priority. I went with talent because at the end of the day it’s about what the players can get themselves to do. However, I’m concerned about their recent problems accomplishing things I’d expect from coaching; in particular I don’t think they are doing a good enough job developing young players or keeping penalties and turnovers to a minimum by molding their schemes to the talent they have.
