Well I bet Columbo might go for more than you think, he showed last year that he's recovered, he played well at RT in the NFL as a starter, he was so much better than Petitti who the year before led the league in sacks and ugly plays, pay him because we need him an other teams will want him....

He's about same age as Gurode and both could be cornerstones of our OL for years to come. Last year was first time either started at their positions and played their the whole year. I believe both do well but should also continue to improve as they got more comfortable at their jobs and we begin developing some stability on our OL. So we do need re-sign Colombo who stated before that he very grateful to the Cowboys for giving him this chance and that he wanted remain with the Cowboys. I think we should also give him a 5-6 year contract hopefully with incentives built in so that he continues to work hard at his job.
Hopefully Kosier also settles more into his LG position. Our remaining immediate weakness is at RG like we all know. Get Colombo signed and then move fast to sign best young FA OG we can get--hopefully Dielman or Steinbech or 1-2 of the other young improving OGs who can start and be an immediate upgrade over Riveria.
Then we need be assured we protected at LT position to either challenge Adams in 07 or after this year but also whose a good young OT this year in case either Adams or Colombo go done. If we sign our RG, we can draft an OT as BPA when our turn comes around.

Why wouldn't Leonard Davis be a good RT? He played well at guard before they moved him to LT. At LT, Davis probably doesn't have the feet and movement skills to play that well... but as a RT, it seems like he'd be perfect.
I don't know, but you just never see him mentioned as a RT prospect.

Columbo should have been our first signing; he is first round talent come cheap because of injury and now has a baseline for his contract.

Well, you might be right about him being too slow.
As for him being a RT at LT because of the Left Handedness of the QB... he still was playing against the Dwight Freeny type RDE's of this league, which would be a problem. As a true RT, he wouldn't be going against most teams speed rushers. It would be the more powerful strongside DE's that he would be playing against at RT instead of LT.
Still, I haven't watched him enough to know, so you very well may be correct about him being too slow to play at any OL position.
Wasn't he on the all-rookie team at G when they drafted him though? I thought he played pretty well at G, and the main reason the Cards were letting him go was because he couldn't play LT and they were going to have to pay him LT money. Maybe I'm wrong though.

i agree...hes not gonna come at clearance price by any means i dont think. He was arguably our best OL last year, and I'm sure front offices around the league noticed it. He's a first round pick who is just now over his early injuries

Was just working in the garage earlier. Got myself a rolling toolbox earlier today and was setting it up. I have to do some rearranging and then get my air compressor setup going, then I'll be good to go. I'm setting up the compressor tomorrow.

Columbo is MORE then capable of being the starter. He was AT LEAST our second best linemen last season.
