maybe jon runyan or levi jones, only to play as a valuable backup
dont know how much runyan has left, but he is mean and nasty
and he knows the eagles right and left, might be able to give us some signals on them, little tips on their players

What happened with Levi Jones he use to be a pretty good LT. He's 30 at the end of August, not bad.

Levi Jones as a backup is not too shabby. I would have to agree. He's probably asking for too much and that's why nobody has grabbed him yet. From what I heard he was healthy again.

best i remember, levi jones shoulders were gone, not sure about that, so dont quote me on it.

I've never had a problem with Ephraim Salaam

but he's not a free agent, he signed with the lions in May

 

[AbeBeta]

couple of good but broken down guys on that list. i don't think Runyan or Jones are too keen on going to training camp. They'll likely have jobs come Week 2 though.

We will all find out soon enough.Eitherway,we gotta get someone.

Levi Jones won’t sign until after camps start

Looks like free agent OT Levi Jones will not sign with an NFL team until after training camps are open.

That according to his agent per the Arizona Republic. Jones’ agent confirmed to that paper that the Cardinals are interested in Jones, but do not want to pay him starter money.

“They (the Cardinals) wanted to sign him a while ago but it’s not in his best interest unless the contract they gave him guarantees that he would be paid commensurate with how much he was going to play,” his agent Ken Zuckerman told the Arizona Republic.

The Jones camp believes he deserves starter money, since he’s probably good enough in their eyes to be a starter on several NFL teams.

But with no team ready to promise that, Jones has decided to bide his time and wait for a training camp injury at the tackle position when his value on the market will be significantly increased.

Cardinals have interest in Levi Jones

The Arizona Republic


The Cardinals and former Bengals offensive tackle Levi Jones apparently are interested in each other, but neither side is motivated enough now to do anything about it.


Jones' agent, Kenny Zuckerman, confirmed an ESPN.com report that the Cardinals had expressed interest in Jones. But Jones is looking to be paid like a starter should he win a job, and the Cardinals aren't willing to give that assurance, Zuckerman said.

Cardinals General Manager Rod Graves could not be reached for comment.


Jones, who is from Eloy and played at Arizona State, was a former first-round pick who played seven seasons for the Bengals. He was hampered the past three years by knee and leg injuries, missing 18 games in that time. The Bengals released him in May, and Jones has long expressed an interest in playing for the Cardinals.


Jones has spent the off-season in the Valley working out and is now healthy, Zuckerman said.
The Cardinals are one of about a dozen teams to express interest in Jones, Zuckerman said. But Jones likely won't sign with a club until after the start of camp. If tackles are lost to injury, Zuckerman is convinced Jones' value will increase.
The Cardinals have been pleased with the play of left tackle Mike Gandy since he joined the team two years ago. Unlike Jones, Gandy has been durable, playing in every game the past four seasons.


Gandy has a high salary cap figure this year, $5.8 million, which might have sparked the Cardinals' interest in Jones.

sure do BigE, wished we could find a young OT in the draft like erik williams

 

[21Savage]

Levi Jones, when healthy, is actually a better RT than Columbo. Wonder what he's asking for

I doubt that is true. From most accounts, Brewster was going to need to improve his strength and conditioning - that's a classic formula for being a game day inactive week in and week out.

CJ...I couldnt agree more
