I think the Bengals need to bring in someone else at LG or move Karras over to that spot and sign a new center like Tretter.

The plan was for one youngster to take the LG job and at least one more to look like a capable backup T or G.  That hasn't happened, but Volson is your best option on the left side.  

Again a versatile vet OL should have been signed in the 3-4M range.  Now you have to compete with everyone for these 4+ season or older vets (we aren't winning a waiver claim).  

I know we are looking toward when the big cuts come Aug 30th, but the bigger date to look toward is the trade deadline.  If Volson/Carman/Smith don't give you top 7 stability by then you have no choice but to deal for a fringe starter at least.
