Throw the Gallery trade away, he was here for one purpose, to teach the scheme and be an on field coach, he did that and we moved on once we had the baseline for how we play on the O line.
Given our penchant for taking players that have a skill set or a certain athletic ability if we go FA I don't think we go big name, we go with experience but a skill set or a athletic ability established already, 2nd tier guys that are cheaper that have established themselves that can be coached to our system.
I also would not be so quick to dismiss Lewis, he isn't all world physically, but like Unger is smart, and can make calls, that is the difference. Any rookie will have to learn the system and how to read a NFL defense and make calls, that takes time and why many times a rookie Center will play Guard for a while along side a experienced guy. Again a lesser known F.A. may be brought in if anything.
Great topic for discussion though Kearly, will be interesting to see where we put effort in to signing our own guys going forward, that will be the first tell in the plan.
