Given how Volson has played now halfway through his 3rd year and 26 years old, he's probably at or close to what he's going to be in terms of ceiling. At least for the Bengals in the current scheme.
If the Bengals end up out of the playoffs in a few weeks, I'd love to try Matt Lee at C and shift Karras to LG for the remainder of the season.
Karras is still under contract next season, so what if Lee at C + Karras at LG ends up being an upgrade overall going into next season?
I suggested that scenario recently and was met with "Only if Joe Burrow is on the bench, because I don't want him getting killed while they experiment with the OL".
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
