I'm not very familiar with the guy, but after reading the article, he sounds like someone we need.
1. Veratile inside lineman who can play all positions.
2. Mentor to his replacement last year, without any b*tching.
3. 32, so he's got a couple years of decent play left.
4. Supposed to be a good locker room leader.

Only downside that i see is he's on the wrong side of 30, and he was released by the Browns ,,,then again, its Mangini :bricks: btw, it says he was released just before he was due his bonus.

I'd like to hear some thoughts on his play. Anyone familiar with him? To me, inside 0-line is a major need. Maybe a good stop gap, and mentor to a drafted guard?

If he's willing to take reasonable money, sure (or, really, unreasonable money - but just for a year in case the cap returns in a new and exciting way...) !

I think O-Linemen would be a good way to go because of the potential uncertainty with Neal.
 
Fraley has been up and down through his career, a perennial rebuilder like the Browns always grabs him and gets decent mileage, but I don't believe he upgrades any position here short of a run of bad luck and injuries.
 
Guys named Hank never work out.
