I've noticed the whole team seems to be tackling better this year, keeping their heads up and wrapping up instead of looking to just blow someone up. The money saved here would pay for a very good RG or RT for the year, if they can find one. Iloka will catch on somewhere else, hopefully not Pissburgh, so good luck to him.
Except they dont exist on the market right now, at least RTs. There are a couple of guards out there like Alex Boone, but they could have afforded those guys anyways. Only way to get a rt is to trade a draft pick for a top backup somewhere, or an overpaid starter.
