Also, Mangold didn't allow a single sack in 2015 and only one QB hit. I can't find the link about his 2016 performance, but I could have sworn I read he also didn't allow a sack in 2016 for the games he played. Even if he's "declining", Mangold is still better than Bodine.

I'd sign Mangold to a two-year deal, as I think he's got that much time left in him. Draft a player this year or next year, as Bodine is not going to improve. He's had three years to improve and is still in the bottom tier in the league in terms of starting centers.

They can match any offer for Johnson, so he is still on the team.. Mangold graded lower than Bodine last year in his play.. on a down hill spiral.. i don;t want to overpay for a old veteran whose performance is suspect.. if you are to pay and replace at least get someone that is performing at a better level than what you have for the right cost.
