It may take a few weeks for the playbook, but he gives an acual descent OT option. Cincy has too many WRs, so maybe one gets dealt. Like they take a hit on LaFelle's deal but NE gets him for his time in the system. That or even Boys for Fleming and a conditional late pick or something. Just an idea but they owe it to Andy having a capable RT and Fisher as a 6th man if the other starters fail early.
Per below, he may get paid as next year's FA crop looks terrible. So you get a comp pick worst case.

Here is the biggest problem this whole scenario.
RT is not our biggest issue right now. I would be more inclined to consider this offer if you were talking LT, but to me it sounds like you're looking at the wrong side of the line.
