Maybe they were in a better scheme now, or maybe they just had career years while surrounded by DL talent.

Obviously I could be wrong and we won't know until games start being played, but I think it's a huge gamble to pay Hill like this, just don't like it and I don't think it'll pay off. If it keeps them from acquiring another quality OL I will go from not liking it to outright hating it.

I don't really care how they performed with the Giants and Browns. Awuzie was a meh player for the Cowboys, but great for us. Should we let him walk based on how he played for the Cowboys?

As far as the talent we have on the d-line, I remember people saying the same thing about Hendrickson. He was a risky signing. Probably a product of playing next to great players.

I don't think you can plug any scrub in at that spot and get 14 sacks like we did last year. Ogunjobi and Hill just turned out to be diamonds in the rough. It happens. Teams whiff for whatever reason, or a certain scheme or staff brings out the best in certain players.

We should have enough left to sign a solid RT.

If we have a line that looks like this:

LT - Jonah
LG - Spain
C - Karras
RG - Cappa
RT - Good Free Agent

I could live with that. We just started, and we're one guy away.
