One possibility is Mike Onwenu from the Patriots. He's 6'3-350, just turned 26 and has experience at RT, RG and LG. 

Year     Grade     Pass Block      Run Block     Sacks      Penalties     Tot Snaps    Snaps-RT
2023       71.6            66.2              74.1              2               4                  792             598           (also played LG and RG)
2022       79.3            83.1              73.1              1               2                1,044               0            (all snaps taken at RG)  
2021       87.0            69.8              89.8              2               3                   647            276            (also played at LG)
2020       84.3            72.5              84.9              3               1                   927            616            (also played LG and RG)

Yup

I believe there's a half a dozen positions we need a serious upgrade on. RT and LG are among them for sure. Volson had a 3 or 4 game stretch there where he was playing decent. But overall as the PFF grades help illustrate he just isn't starter level NFL Oline material. We have to protect JB, that's where it starts.

The defense also needs some serious upgrading, no doubt.
