Pay him a mint -- he's earned if. Or if you must be stingy, franchise him. I know it sort of wouldn't be great for him (though getting $16 million this year would've been nice) but it would be what is best for the team. Meanwhile, you spend draft picks on OL not skill guys. You do that until your OL is good into the future. If you have to reach, so be it. This team is going nowhere if Dalton is injured or rushed so that every throw is inaccurate.
I just ranted about this in another thread. But your right. I know OG and Fisher was Whit and Dre's replacement but once it looked like it was going to be a bad idea they should have done everything possible to keep Whit. Just having Whit right now would help this line tremendously. Zeitler I kinda get why but they should have never even let him smell FA. They knew someone would thrown a ton a money his way that he couldn't refuse. Sucks that it's the Browns. I'm just very disappointed at the lack of urgency to fix this damn line this offseason. But shame on me for being surprised.
