Breno

[kearly]

Accourding KFFL Miami is kicking his tires.

Do we keep em or do we have a guy in the wings?

Bailey and Bowie are both legitimate options at a much cheaper price point than Giacomini.

They sure didn't look like it last season. Bowie was atrocious in pass pro. I kinda like Bowie but he is not ready.

I think they view Bailey as a guard anyway. Though that can always change.

Whether they keep Giacomini or not, I'd be pretty upset if we rolled into week 1 2014 with Bowie at RT. Why risk a SB season, and Wilson's health, to save a few million?

Come on at least one free agent Oline....

I know he is not a T but would Davin Joseph be a good fit?

 

[Seafan]

Bowie, Bailey, Hauptmann. Next man up.

 

[Hawks46]

I'm not sure Miami can afford to pay him a lot either. They just over paid Branden Albert almost 10 mil/year.

 

[GCrow]

With regards to Bowie, I personally hope he fills that LG position (or Bailey). Liked him there.

 

[two dog]

Breno's a bad dude and I like bad dudes on our offensive line.

Attitude, real attitude is not something you can pretend.

 

[Grahamhawker]

Hate to see Breno go. No way can any of the backups even carry his jock right now.

"3 yards and a pile of bodies"; that's Breno...

Jets making strong push to sign Seahawks free-agent OT Breno Giacomini, who's on his way to visit team Wednesday.

 

[TDOTSEAHAWK]

I am pretty sure we will not re-sign Breno but offensive line and WR are our biggest holes right now.

 

[QuahHawk]

And with the 32nd pick in the 2014 NFL draft the Seattle Seahawks select OT Joel Bitonio from the University of Nevada.

I'd love to keep Breno around but we have to cut our losses here and there and can't afford to pay everyone. Keeping him for about $5mil per year is pushing it and the run on OL this FA he's going to get at least that.

 

[DavidSeven]

I don't think Bailey fits the mauler profile that Seattle likes at RT. He is a better fit for LG/LT where they value better protection IMO.

Bowie was okay in some games at RT and just straight abused in others. He is promising, but RIGHT NOW, he isn't close to Breno's level...

If we lose Breno, I have to imagine we sign a bargain Tackle to fill out the roster and go high at OT in the draft -- #32 high.

 

[Evil_Shenanigans]

We should lock up Breno now. Okung was (when healthy) our most solid offensive lineman last season and IMO Breno was second. Not saying he's a world beater but their are other bigger concerns on this line! And I dont believe we have the pieces in place to backfill at the moment. Carp, Unger and McQ are marked men though.

 

[RolandDeschain]

Jets interested in Breno, too.

[drdiags]

McQ is a FA, he has to be re-signed to become a marked man.

Jets may do whatever it takes to get him now that they have a hole at RT.

 

[400WattHPSHawk]

Of course this is just my opinion, but I think PC may be more intrigued with Bailey at a tackle position (RT of course) than many posters here believe should Breno leave for lotsa greener pastures.

 

[rcaido]

Our O-line was probably the worst in the NFL. Bowie had 1 good game the rest of the time he seem rather lazy or just not talented enough...McQuistan look like a high school kid trying to block All Pros it was painful to watch. i held my breath for Wilson in every play, our focus is to protect Wilson. Okung & Breno got it done. Breno is must signing more important then getting another pass rusher or resigning Tate. We need better Guards although Bailey look promising & a new center.

 

[sam1313]

while breno was much better the latter part of the season, there were times last year when i wanted to toss him off the starting line. I don't think our drop off is that bad, but I would strongly prefer we get a couple more OL in the draft this year..

 

[nwgamer]

Why do people think we need to replace Unger?? I don't get it. The guy was an all-pro in 12' and played through injury most of last season. Quality centers don't grow on trees.

 

[dontbelikethat]

Jets may do whatever it takes to get him now that they have a hole at RT.

Yeah and they haven't spent much in FA with a bit of cap space. I expect them to sign Breno to fill the void Howard left.
