It’s easy to think of Ronald Leary as a backup lineman, but he was a starting guard who lost his job because Dallas lucked into La’el Collins in freakish circumstances at draft time. With Collins injured this season, Leary stepped back into the starting spot at left guard in Dallas and actually upgraded the unit. Leary didn’t allow a sack all season, but it was his run blocking that was the biggest difference, and he was not an insignificant part of Ezekiel Elliott’s league-leading season running the football.

Honestly I love Zeitler, but if he's looking to get 11-12 mil per year we need to let him walk. Leary would be a nice replacement depending on price, but you have to know we drafted Westerman to be Zeitlers replacement so we need to see what he has as well as to try and retain Whit and let Ced and Fisher fight it out for RT. I wouldn't mind bringing in a FA T and G for depth or to start if Westerman and the other 2 I mentioned can't seem to get a hold of their positions. I would love for us to draft an upgrade at C over Bodine and move him to G where I think he may be better suited or move him to backup C.
