I'm not sure why people think being cut automatically = you're a scrub. Teams dump salary and decide to roll with a younger/cheaper options rather often.
The players that get cut often sign elsewhere for a reasonable rate to get their stock back up. It's possible we could find a guy like that, and they wouldn't necessarily have to be an all-pro to upgrade our right side.
Illoka got signed for vet minimum and LaFell still has no job. Not sure what point these guys prove? There pay, or in LaFell's case lack of pay, show what the rest of the league views them as. Also, that is again disregarding the lack of talent at O line across the league. There are quality safeties and WR's still on the market, there aren't quality O lineman still sitting at home waiting for deals.
