Lawson, Howard, Harrison, Dansby, Minter, etc. Maybe that makes Whitehead or Brown a possibility, or maybe they just re-sign Minter.
Norwell is a pipe-dream IMO. Isn't he an all-pro? He's going to get a fat contract this offseason, and this team isn't going to be the one to award it to him, no way in hell. They just let their homegrown top guard walk in FA because they don't think guards matter. Why would they pay one from another team that they aren't familiar with? Never going to happen. Boling will start and the success of Redmond/Westerman will be sold hard to the fans over the next 8 months as a reason not to add a G in FA. Then there's the draft. It's a thousand million times more likely that they spend a draft pick on a guard than it is that they pay an outside FA to fill the spot.
As for Dehner saying it'll be like 2015, IDK what that means. Who'd we sign that year? MJ and Denarius Moore? Yay.
Maybe losing Z and what he provided makes them want to sign Norwell. You're probably right but I don't think it is laughable right now.
