1. This isn’t ideal. I could see the line being a big problem to start the season. Face some very great pass rushers

2. BOB has his work cut out for him with this o-line. Everyone not named David Andrews is either a question mark, injured, or a question mark and injured. Pats will be lucky to escape week 1 without getting Mac injured.

3. Zappe onto the 53 to backup for the next few weeks until they feel Corral is up to speed seems to make sense.
   However who are some external free agents you guys think are worth picking up?

4. I honestly don’t know if this is actually a loss.

5. Pharoah Brown has been signed to the main roster as a follow up.

6. I have a feeling Zeke is gonna be out there A LOT with Henry blocking the right side

7. Contract: 1 yr / $5,000,000. $4.15M guaranteed.

8. That was predictable. Just surprised it took so long.

9. What a mess this OL is. Who could have seen this coming?

10. Hated this signing from the start and it just keeps getting worse. They neglected the line far too much this offseason given the turnover and injury history of the starters. Drafting a bunch of late round maybes and signing castoffs and guys on the wrong side of 30 and hoping for the best was not a good strategy, and thus far the results match the process. Hopefully they can cobble together an effective group and avoid injury, because they sure don’t have the depth to sustain any attrition right now.

11. Shocked. Shocked I tell you.
