 could be right, idk? Sounds more than legit.

Honestly, I have no clue. Just what I was assuming as the NFL doctors association has been big on sharing stats and info across teams in recent years. If I remember right, that was where the combine (combined physical) started as teams tried to look at their health as a group.

A well paid LT who has trouble staying healthy? Why does that sound familiar? 

In fairness to Luvnit, he said he wanted to trade Cordy Glenn for him. That'd just be a swap of highly paid, oft-injured LT's.

Williams has probably played better - of late - than Glenn to boot. Not that I think the Skins would bite.

On top of that, they seem determined to start Jonah at LT.

I'm already extremely looking forward to seeing Price with Glenn and Wren on either sides at guard. Talk about road graders....

Yep, nothing stops them from seeing their own experts. They do it all the time....
