[QUOTE="Sky King, post: 664739, member: 7171"] 2017's possible OL: Tackles: Bakhtiari plus either Bulaga or Spriggs Guards: Healthiest incumbent plus either Bulaga, Spriggs, Taylor or Rotheram Center: Linsley Backups: Murphy and any non-starters above. My 2017 stab in the dark: LT Bakhtiari, LG Bulaga, C Linsley, RG Rotheram, RT Spriggs Backups: Taylor and Murphy plus ?? Reasons: Reduces dead-money hit (Bulaga getting cut prior to contract ending, plus he's youthful, relatively speaking, though not ideally healthy); long-term solution to Tackle positions (which apparently are valued more than Guards in GB, anyway); keeps payroll down by utilizing mostly younger, healthier bodies playing on rookie contracts. Maybe they'll keep one of the incumbent guards but I'm guessing that they both may be allowed to leave in FA to garner extra comp picks rather than allowing them to retire (after another contract) and getting nothing in return. Wildcard: Bulaga's health. Could prompt move to G if it's perceived to be easier on his body or result in him getting cut regardless of cap hit. Not a surprise: Sitton retires if his back and/or foot health do not return to near normal. Words mostly lived-by in GB: "Better to let them go a year too early than a year too late." [/QUOTE]
