Ethan Pocic (age 26) from the Seahawks. He was a 2nd round pick (58) out of LSU in 2017. He can play C and G.

Justin Britt (age 30) from Houston.

Brian Allen (age 28) from the Rams.

Thoughts?
 
Never watch the Seahags unless we’re playing em so not super familiar with him, have to check out some of his tape

but I’d go Ben Jones over the other 2 guys who I’ve seen a bit more of…could be my Bulldog glasses I’m looking through tho
 
I like Ben Jones (age 32.5) but his cap hit in 2021 was $6,75 million compared too;

Ethan Posic (age 26) cap hit $2 million
Justin Britt (age 30,5) cap hit $3.2 million
Brian Allen (age 28) cap hit $785,000

Ben Jones is older and would be more expensive to sign. With so many other needs, I think one of the other guys may make more sense.

Posic next contract won't be a bargain like that

Posic has one year left on his contract ($1 million). We may be able to get him for a 6th rounder. They also have Kyle Fuller(C).
Fuller is an UFA as well, and the Seahawks like him.

I wouldn't mind kicking the tires on Laken Tomlinson. 49er G.

I am assuming Jones number goes down, as frequently does as players reach 30s, and would be an awesome stop gap for 2-3 years. Doubt his number goes up, but lineman are at a premium so who knows.

And if ya have to trade for a guy, he’s not a FA signing…we’ll see where the chips fall but I highly doubt we trade for any OL (Popsicles included) having drafted 2 last year and likely a tackle or 2 this year

we could have had Will Clapp from the Saints practice squad for nothing.
Yet we chose to ignore the elephant in the room and on the OL.

I just don't get how they could be so naive regarding the heart of the Offense

I think they just thought he would improve. You still have to know when to come off that hope. The biggest problem with their bad decision making a is the time it takes for them to adjust those initial thoughts.
