You're still left with a hole either way.  If he stays at T then you need to sign a G.  And if you move him to G then you need to sign a T.

I mean, it's kind of wash is it not?  As much as people think tackles are paid, I promise you if you look at the guys outside the bigger names, the money between an average RT and an average G is not all that different.
 

Well I can't remember previous years off the top of my head, but we ended up signing XSF and later Spain to G. Then we had Redmond and Jordan that the coaching staff seemed to inexplicitly believe in.
