I get wanting to get value out of them, but the best guy should play.
Same.

Take a legit look at him who we’ll have for 2 more years. We can’t keep making free agent splashes on the Oline. We need not to have to spend big to replace Cappa, Karras, Collins, or Williams when there time comes. Have to spread the money around.
Jackson ascending (wishful) and winning the RT spots would buy us an extra year to drat and develop center and rg spots.
Hey, my ole buddy JJ22 is back and being rational again, I like it.

I wouldn't mind to see Carman or someone from the draft turn out to be the better RT, so there is longer-term stability at the position.
Best case scenario is Carman becomes a stud RT for us and we have him here for as long as we have Orlando Brown or longer.
And of course, Pollack starts developing Volson and other young Lineman into solid players from now on.
