Message: <blockquote data-quote="TJV" data-source="post: 457010" data-attributes="member: 4300">As to a better OT available keep in mind we are (or at least I am) talking about an OT better than Taylor, Datko, or Allard. That's not a very high bar IMO as two of them have never taken an NFL snap, haven't impressed in camp and the other has been out of the league for more than two years. The issue is certainly not acquiring a high priced FA, it's about acquiring an adequate backup OT. If you want specific names check the article I linked to "If the Packers are buying…" Also I'm sure the Packers know of more than a few OTs currently on other rosters that may be - or soon will be - available. For example when they traded for Ryan Grant, I didn't know anything about him so if I were advocating for bringing in a RB from another team at the time, I wouldn't have included him on the target list.  BTW, I don't know if Reggie Wells was brought in to backup mostly OT or OG. He's started 91 games in the league but only 10 at RT and 2 at LT. Perhaps if Sherrod isn't available they're thinking about Lang or Bulaga to LT and they want a vet available to backup at OG/RT in case EDS has to fill in at OC. As I indicated above, I hope Sherrod is ready the first week of September and this is all moot.   </blockquote>
