As he's been one of the best RT in the league when healthy I would have assumed he was either going to be renewed by the Patriots or too expensive for us to pick up.
However he chose a bad time to get injured and was never activated.
I'd be keen to have a look at him. It would be a boom/bust kind of deal but if he has recovered to what he was he would be a definite upgrade on Winston/Fisher.
Main downside is coming back from injury introduces some risk, plus he's not massively position flexible - not sure he's ever played guard and even when he flexed to LT he was not as good. So it would probably be RT or nothing - same as Winston.
Worth a look?
fisher isn't the tackle we gotta worry about
