Austin Howard would be a smart signing. He's getting older and wasn't as consistent, but PFF still gave him an average overall rating (36th ranked tackle) so he'd give stability for one year in what could be a showcase season. Right now it's Fisher and a battle royal of underachieving tackles, I feel like Robinson (though a Bengals type move) would only clog that up with the limited reps they do have.
Howard may be waiting for someone's tackle to get hurt and walk into a gig with leverage and not messing with training camp. The thing is, he'd be a freebie signing after being cut, and give you one year of stability at RT. Have him compete with Fisher for the starting gig and if one of the other guys have a miracle showing then so be it.

Would be happy with Howard as well, nice post Phil.
