Risner's contract was only $3 mill.
If the staff wanted to upgrade IOL, they could have even after the season started.
I don't feel they will other than the backups since both their backup guards are hitting FA.
You're not wrong. Though I think we may be re-evaluating some stuff after last season.
Like your thoughts on S, which are spot in, IOL would not be my first option (DT/RT). But if we whiff, or free up more cash, I could see a IOL move. Or a relatively high (Rd3-Rd4) pick if we really hit it out the park in FA.
I do think upgrading the trenches is probably priority #1 at this point. And everything but DE is included.
I mean, I could see us taking the kid from Oregon at C in some scenarios. Sign Reader, L. Williams, & Onwenu in FA. Dine baring freeing up more cash with restrucures/cuts. Maybe enough for Townsend, too. Draft the C. Move Karras to G (or move the C to G). Volson as depth.
Worry about TE & WR3 and CB depth in rounds 2-4.
