Burkhead was never going to be a starter here. That was a pipe dream. He needed to go to a team like the Pats that is creative.
Whitworth was the oldest starting Tackle in the NFL last season. He's not going to play at an elite level much longer. Losing him as an elite performer was coming one way or the other. It sucks...
As I look at it...we knew Zeitler was leaving...so we're Whitworth down and we gained Smith and Minter.
He's not going to be a starter there either.
