Bout time. Okung is waiting for a payday around 12 mil. I'm not sure he's worth that with his health concerns. If we can get him for 8, expect a Graham or Ifedi cut. James is looking good in camp, so Graham is an overpriced luxury. Once they see what they really need to upgrade or where they know they are set, we will see a move or two.

Completely agree. I was on the Carmen and Jurko show a couple of weeks ago stating the exact same point. They both wanted Fields and I pointed the OL and lack thereof. Jurko has since sided with me.

I'm looking for Graham to be a surprise cut in order to sign LT help. Look for Okung or Peters, maybe both.

I watched NFL Network today and they were at Bears camp. Darnell Mooney and Allen Robinson impressed the heck outta me. Barring injury, we gotta ink Robinson to a deal. Mooney has been breaking ankles in his routes.

I'm not usually the one to play Chicken Little but, it's time to act...

Love Parcells, but this is out of context. We don't need a veteran to replace Jenkins. We need that veteran to help ensure Jenkins has the time and ability to succeed. The last thing our team or Jenkins needs is to be placed in a position to fail when not ready. A veteran only stabilizes a fragile situation and gives added confidence to a team that already has uncertainties.

Jenkins needs reps. If he doesn't get them, there unsigned guys out there that will absolutely be better.(also better than anyone we have) Eventually, is next year. If Fields is to be developed quicker, he will need to have starts this year. I don't want that to occur if the shit show is happening up front.

Not even close. Youth and strength is not equal to the experience Leno has. Jenkins needs training camp to meet, then exceed Leno.

What about Russell Okung?

Sorry, but for now, it is an enormous problem. Jenkins has zero experience playing left tackle in the NFL and needs these valuable reps. Pedigree means nothing now. The offense will have to be dummied down to provide assistance by lining a TE or chipping a back. And trust me that Justin Fields development will be slowed, as Nagy will not put him in a regular season game until the OL has settled. That fact that there is no serviceable backup is the elephant in the room.

C'mon man! Do you think he lost his youth and skill? He's 32. You are talking about the same guy that lead the Eagles to a Superbowl won over the evil empire. And who was the OC? You got it, Frank Reich. The Colts are loaded and ready.

Wentz doesn't have that kinda clout. He could possibly be out for the season and the other 3 QB's in Colts camp have zero NFL game snaps.

Gotcha. Thanks! I paid today as well.

Add that it would be a tremendous blessing to get a pick and millions off the books. Maybe we could afford for a legit backup left tackle.

I gave you my keepers.

Did y'all see the Foles interview? It was basically, I'm a bear now, but come get me Colts...

Nope...

I've said this before and I'll say it again, Jenkins is a rookie who is unfamiliar with playing LT at a pro level. We have no contingency plan to this. Now he has back tightness already. WTF? Optimism anyone?

Damned knee...

Private jet landed in GB last night...

I forgot we signed Jake Butt. If we can get his knee right, he is a stud!

Don't hold your breath on this fellas...?

I'm going to temper my expectations of Fields, this season. History shows the boom / average / bust factors. I like everything about his situation though. I also believe Nagy and Defilipo are the guys to develop him and that his supporting cast is strong enough.

I think a snap count will greatly benefit Hicks and Mack...

Remember, we were broke going into the off season, resulting in us having to cut Fuller. They may have said, if you want four years now it's gotta be 64 mil. Otherwise we sign you for 17 on the franchise and hope to get something done later. Also, they can franchise him again. Robinson was asking for top 5 money out of a tenth place resume.
