Thanks Luvnit. Cutting Hop is definitely in the cards then if we can find an upgrade.

But, I also don't think Hopkins is going anywhere, but Hopkins is way too expensive if he is a projected back up center at 7.1 million

Yes, too expensive as a backup, so he is the starter or cut.

Why? We would have the entire Offseason to improve the biggest weakness on the team, the right side of the OL.

We will have to pay for the improvement. James Daniels and Morgan Moses would be Awuzie type FA's to me.

Jonah, Spain, Hopkins, Daniels, Moses

With Carman backing up on his rookie deal sounds great to me.
