Me: If Zeitler walks is FA Chance Warmack an option. Former 1st rd. pick, played in SEC, can sign a cheap 1-2 year prove it deal.
Jim: prove what? He started all 48 games of his career before he got hurt. W/a weak guard draft, he could get a nice multi year deal.
Me: sry didn't know he started 48. Figured he'd would be cheaper than Z and their was a reason they didn't pick up his option.
Jim: No worries he will be , cheaper in my opinion. The option was $8.8 million, so they didn't feel he deserved that amount. He could be someone the Bengals look at - but it would be to start the next few years ( provided he's healthy).
Me: Maybe Ronald Leary would be a more realistic option?
Jim: Hm. Thing is the G market has exploded. The team had parameters , so I guess it depends what Leary/ Warmack are asking for.
Jim continued: Hard to say options unless I know what they're looking for .. wish I could help a bit more. But those guys are former staters
Me: Understandable thanks Jim. I'm just scared for Daltons health with an unproven RG and Bodine at center.
No response:
All i can say is shit.
Jim O knows what he is doing, that is why this is most depressing.
Hopkins or Westerman will be our starting RG in between Bodine and Fisher most likely.
Sucks as we are all scared for Dalton's health. Pry why Jim O didn't respond to that last one.
