We'll see. I think he's more the type of quality vet a team signs to a longer term contract with high salaries or roster bonuses to compensate him for the relatively high quality of play but to protect the team from the downside of his knee condition. Not playing for two years really only means two fewer years of mileage on that knee. It's not like he was hurt and hasn't been able to get back on the filed. He had a short-term back issue and got beat out by a very talented younger player on a better contract.
If I'm a team in need of an OG, I think Learly's a very good candidate for an impact starter for me if I can structure it right. Sure, he'll come at a discount, but it's still starting OG money we're talking about. There are a lot of teams in the league where this guy is a walk-on starter.
