Yeah, when he is playing.TEXANS84 said:Why would you get rid of Zach Weigert? So far he's been our best offensive lineman when he's been playing.
keyfro said:funny thing is i think a lot will depend on what offensive lineman are available in FA and who the Gm believes we can get in the draft
texan279 said:I heard this morning on Cold Pizza and heard a few weeks ago that Jonathon Ogden is not happy with the Raven's bad performance this season and their front office cutting his brother, and he will probably either retire or leave the Ravens after this season.![]()
TheOgre said:So he is complaining about the Raven's bad performance? Why in the world would he go to the Texans then? That doesn't make sense.
And besides Freeney eats his lunch.F-minus67 said:What does Ogden have to prove with a new team? He is a multiple time pro bowler, he has a ring and he close to 40.
Hervoyel said:I think you're "Locks to stay" list is a little too big. I would not say that Milford Brown or Todd Washington are locks at this point. So much of what happens depends on whether or not the team has a coaching purge at the end of the year. If a new coach comes in then I'd say the locks are probably only Chester Pitts (basically our best lineman), Drew Hodgdon because he's a second year guy and we obviously have needs at center, and finally Todd Wade who we'll be stuck with due to the money. Clearly we also hope we can get better performance out of him.
That's about it for true "locks". Obviously we're going to keep a bunch of these guys because you can't replace everyone in one offseason even if you need to. I wouldn't call Todd Washington or Milford Brown "Already Gone" though. I'd say almost all of our linemen go into camp on the bubble and trying out for their new coaches.
I'm sure somebody we've all written off will manage to make this team and somebody that we all think should stick will be looking for work.
markbeth said:from hpf.com salary page. it looks like wade would cost 6 million and change to let go. but its gonna cost us 5 million to keep him. so it would only cost us a little over 1mil more to let him go. might not be a bad time to "bite the bullet" if you dont think hes our rt tackle for the next 3 or 4 years.
its not like were gonna win a sb next year anyway.
