Save that 12.6 million we would use on Jonah this year and give it to Reader and Awuzie on contract extensions. Keeping Jonah one year is not worth letting Reader and Awuzie get away. This is of course assuming neither Reader and Awuzie demand big raises. Extend Reader for a couple more years, give him a couple million dollars more per year. Extend Awuzie and give him 4 million more per year.
Not against trading Jonah if we can use that money for DJ and Chido that is for sure.

I would imagine he will be the guy at RT this year and I am more than happy with the starters and depth we have this year and don't really want to change that. But I love Reader and I think he is the heart of this defense. So if we had to trade Jonah to keep Reader for a couple more seasons I would go that way but I would be nervous about the line and that's something we've done far to often.
Jonah will get hurt, so we need Carman to play RT when it happens.

It may seem like we a have a lot of OTs, but Collins isn't ready. Ahead of schedule, maybe, but not ready. That leaves OBJ, Jonah, then Carman. There's no way in the world anyone is convincing me that he's not better than Adeniji.
Jackson is a huge lineman that acquitted himself well at LT in a critical situation last year. He's got all a team wants other than consistency.
The league is loaded with teams that are starving for big, versatile OL. The only way I let a guy like him go is if I get something in return.
Carman at the very least is the backup swing tackle.
Spot on. Adeniji is the odd man out as he should be, dude sucks.

Im serious, I would 100% not be shocked if Carman doesn't make this team.
Cody Ford has sucked his entire career in the NFL, D'Ante Smith is a walking penalty and Kirkland plays Guard.
Please have some thoughts with rationality before you post this psycho babble....
