There are a few good free agents we could land that would improve the line and not break the bank
Right Tackle:
Not many options for right tackle. Basically you have Morgan Moses at $7.5M per year 71.0 PFF 4 sacks or Trent Brown 12.5m per year 77.6 PFF 1 sack in 489 snaps
Right Guard:
I like James Daniels. PPF of 71 and gave up 3 sacks. By comparison Alex Cappa has a PPF of 74.2 and gave up 5 sacks
Mark Glowinski 2 sacks, PFF of 70.1 $6.25M. Austin Corbett 9.25m 68.8 3 sacks. Brandon Scherff 0 sacks allowed 73.6 pff but we cant afford him
Center:
Hopkins is set to make $7.1M this year. We can upgrade the talent at this position for the same amount of money or less. I think for center Ben Jones has to be the guy we go after. He only allowed 1 sack, has a great PFF and would be a clear upgrade over Hopkins. The cap hit would be about the same for Hopkins and Jones so that wouldnt be a problem. The only downside is he is 32.
Jensen would cost way too much if he is after 13 million a year. You could get Jones for almost half of that and Jones had better stats.
Im not sure what to think about Bradley Bozeman. He gave up 3 sacks blocking for Lamar Jackson. Jackson is one the best at getting away from defenders so how many sacks would Bozeman give up blocking for Burrow?
Ted Karras $4.33M might be a good option if we cant get Jones. He can play guard and center and would could be signed for less than Hopkins and Jones. 72.8 PFF with 3 sacks
Left Guard:
We need to replace Spain. He was dominated in the playoffs and only managed a PFF of 46.1 Its going to be hard to win a championship with that level of talent especially if Spain is going to cost $4.75M per year to resign. He needs repalced.
You have two good options. Laken Tomlinson $9M per year is probably the best left guard available 2 sacks 75.9 PFF. Connor Williams would be a little cheaper at $6.7M a year and is good but he lacks the power of Tomlinson. Williams numbers may also be skewed by playing beside Tyron Smith who is one of the best tackles in the NFL. A little futher behind those two you have Andrew Norwell for 7.25M per year with a PFF of 66.7 and 3 sacks
