I'd like to get everyone's thoughts on what we could do to improve the offensive line, who we should retain and who is expendable ..
A few bits of info:
- Connor McGovern will be a free agent .. After sliding over from his spot at guard, I feel that McGovern has done, for the most part, a good job at center .. Do we bring McGovern back, and if so, do we keep him at center or does he go back to his spot at RG ?? .. This leads me to the next point:
- Ronald Leary is signed thru 2020 ( will be a FA in 2021 ), but we save 8.5 million on the cap if he's let go prior to June 1st 2020 … Leary's play has fallen off quiet a bit, and injuries will always be a factor with him … It might be the safe move to keep him one more year, sign Mc Govern and have Risner at LG, thus solidifying the interior of the OL ….
Another option would be to let Leary go, draft a stud C like Tyler Biadasz, resign McGovern and move him back to RG … That, to me, would be a better scenario ...
Risner, Biadasz and McGovern would look great
Of course, depth is always a concern, but to keep from overwhelming the situation, I'm sticking more with the 5 starters ..
This leaves, IMHO, two of Elway's biggest mistakes ( and I'm a fan of JE as GM ) …. I'm not sure of the situation with James, but for a guy who had a history of injuries and was simply a decent RT, what do we do there ??
Will there be an attempt to find Bolles another spot on the OL ?? .. This would mean giving him a new contract, which to me, is almost out of the question considering the reputation Bolles has earned, and the rumors that his lack of taking responsibility for his poor play has created some animosity among teammates … Is there truth to this ?? ..
I just don't see how we could bring Bolles back at this point as he's become the poster boy for the past few seasons of failure ...
FA tackles are tough to come by … What do we do ??
