Resign Flozell Adams, and then sign new free agent Mike Wahle the Packers guard we should have signed instead of Marco Rivera.

Once and for all we never had a shot at him the first time. He signed with Carolina because he wanted to go home. Dallas was never on his list.

What kind of money are you going to have to give this guy? What are the reasons he's being cut? I've heard, though I don't know this is true, that he's being cut cause he is a terrible zone blocker (Denver like scheme) and that Carolina wants to move to a more zone blocking scheme.

Is he hurt? Is he not as good as advertised? I'm curious to know about him but I'm not, at all, advocating that we sign him.

We need to draft a guard not over pay for one that is average at best.
I'm all for getting rid Kosier. Weak link.

Spend a 3rd or 2nd on a road grader.

Kozier is more than adequate at guard and he's signed to a very reasonable deal. The last thing we need to do is spend a bunch of free agent money on another guard when we have glaring needs at CB, safety, WR and RB.

Wahle has been no better than mediocre since he came to Carolina. The left side of the O-line finished 2nd in running in 2006 and 3rd and 2007 and I think it's safe to say that Kosier had a lot to do with it.

I'm all for re-signing Flozell and giving Free, McQ, and Marten another year of experience. I would like to see them draft somebody who can play guard and center in say the 3rd or 4th round in case somebody gets injured or Gurode still struggles with his shotgun snaps.

Kosher actually has been a steady solid force. I rarely hear his name being called at all

And as Spags would say, "There is a reason why another team gave up on him."

Especially since they made him a huge free agent signing only 3 years ago.

Wahle has not been very impressive with the Panthers and they are letting him go because he is an older player who is not going to get any better.

We are not in desperate need of another OL so why would we want to pay this guy a bunch of money when he is NOT going to be an upgrade over Kosier?

Let's go after younger players in the draft who won't cost us much.

We cemented our offensive line already with the addition of Hudson Houck...

that is the truth. the line itself is fine. even if flo leaves it is still fine with either Free or the baby eater McQ:D

Pats V Cowboys: Kosier gets called on 4th down after a MBIII 12 yard gain.
Kosier had his arms wrapped around the linebackers waist.

I've seen Kosier get blown up killing many run plays. The last Commanders game
is a good example.

He is an avg. to below avg. guard. I don't want to go out in FA to get one
but I would draft a guard or OT that is better suited for OG in the Pros. A 2nd or 3rd rounder would be well spent on a guy like Carl Nicks.

The Oline played great, but Kosier is a weakness. Kosier was tauted for not
making mental mistakes and not getting called for many penalties. He's a guy you want as a back up but not starting.

Frankly, I'd like to find out if McQuistan can replace Kosier. McQ has the size and played OG in college; his twin brother is a starting OG for the Raiders. Parcells saw McQ and decided he could be our starting LT some day. Point is I bet McQ with enough help from Houck could become a good NFL starting OG soon; maybe even challenge Kosier this year at some point. Of course that all depends on what happens with Adams. Doubt we move Kosier from LG spot if Adams doesn't stay cause we wouldn't want 2 new bodies on left side of our OL in same season.
