Odds we pick up a waived veteran left tackle?

I would not be shocked if the starting LT is currently not in the building.

If there's a left tackle that's waived when every team is starving for offensive linemen, do you really think that player is worth picking up if a team is cutting him......

 

[morasp]

Odds if we do that he will be very effective.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

We like our guys

The odds of us grabbing a LT off waivers is super high. The odds of him being any good, very low.

i have no doubt we will at least be looking after cutdowns and into the season. One of the highlights of the last preseason game should have been Nate Newtons recap of our o-line. These guys are homers and will say anything positive. Nate couldnt

Very unlikely a starting caliber OT is waived

Right now we don't have a starting caliber LT either. Just a question of whether we can find someone better then what we currently have in house. As I recall if a player is on your roster day 1, you are stuck with his salary for an entire year. Maybe someone is waiving a veteran tackle with the idea of bringing him back after week one at a reduced salary. Stranger things have happened.

Im not saying it cant happen, Im just saying its unlikely. If you want a starter now, you are going to have to be more aggressive than waiting for cuts

+1 ........exactly
They may have a couple of significant moves on ice to first see how Tyler does as a starter. I'm 100% confident they are well aware of other available options via trade or free agents. Similar to issues that prompt Coop trade......remember that was after the season had started.

 

[DeaconMoss]

I hear the train a comin........Vita Vea, Shaq Barrett, Aaron Donald, Josh Sweat, Fletcher Cox, Trey Hendrickson, Sam Hubbard

Dak better have those Jordan's laced up tight

This is why their handling of this is so strange. They have admitted Tyler WAS NOT ready start, even at LG, but since Tyron is now injured, he can be our starting LT? It makes no sense at all........

If they do nothing, it may actually be the low point of the last 26 years for me

Well if one is waived, at least we are in the pecking order for waiver claims before TB & Cincinnati. Who needs OL worse than we do.

 

[Pass2Run]

Dare Rosenthal will likely be cut. The Falcons have a good situation at tackle, and they brought Rosenthal in as an UDFA. As far as I can tell, they are trying to stash him.

Whatever they do, it all comes down to how well they evaluate the situation and address it.

 

[chicago JK]

Might happen but the expectations need to be very low. There just not a lot of good tackles and they are very rarely available on waivers. I think we would have a better chance picking up a guard. Maybe that should be the focus. To either challenge as a starter or be depth. This line could really limit any potential upside of this roster.

Stephen dumpster dives year around so he will likely pickup a backup OL. It will not be a starting quality OL.
