Potential OL in free agency

[Thelt]

If we decide to shore up our OL through free agency rather than the draft then who can we get that is an upgrade and that will not bust the cap? Anyone seen a list of free agents? I know there will be a lot of moves before free agency but I am wondering if that is really a legit way for us to fix our OL. Most teams protect the OL pretty well.

An upgrade that won't bust the cap? Doubtful that's possible. We sign someone its gonna cost. Diem is the guy out there that I'd like to see though.

Do we want to use our money on a free agent OL and let Moose walk or do we want to use your top pick on on OL?

How great would stealing Tra Thomas be?

I think we need to do all of the above. Maybe not our top pick, but second round by far.


But keep Moose and FA OL.

 

[Thelt]

I would love to do both but it may not be possible. If we go into next season with Smith, Moose and Colbert along with a healthy Deshon Foster the offense could be one of the best in the league. A decent OL is all we would need to field a great roster on offense.

Its possible... but Moose would have to sign a contract similar to the one he has now. It'd be up to him if he wants to stay in NC and retire or explore the market.

Something tells me that he'll explore the FA market.
