I see a common theme here. The guys on that list seem to be either old as dirt (Wharton, Goodwin, Waters, Dahl to name a few), washouts (Watkins, Caldwell, Reynolds, to name a few) or radioactive (Incognito). You could make the argument that most of those guys are worth bringing in for a tryout, but I have my doubts as to who would have more to offer than the players already on the roster. The front office has scouted and evaluated these guys, and apparently doesn't think that any of them are better than what we've got.
I guess the only guys that really intrigue me would be Garrett Reynolds, because he was a starter with the Falcons for a while there and wasn't terrible, and Satele, who's still on the younger side and has starting experience.
We are a injury away from having real problems on the right side. I agree though. All these players have just about used up their gas. Not much to pick from.
I'm kind of shocked Nwaneri hasn't landed anywhere.
I mean, not even as a back-up? Was our team that bad, that our starting lineman for multiple years are not even looked at by anyone else? I guess we were..

Not really I quite like our depth bradfield is the swing tackle. Whilst bowanko will back up.brewster at centre and both can play guard if needed Leaves mclendon who i.thought.played well at times last year and Linder a t right guard Personally quite happy with that if Brewster has improved as.much as people are.hinting
Dylan Gandy and Leroy Harris are far from ideal starters. Yet, as a backup Offensive Lineman that can play both Center and Guard, a team could do noticeably worse.
In the case of Harris, he suffered a major knee injury in 2012. That led to him missing a large portion of Training Camp last summer. With another year away from the knee injury, Harris could surprise. At least from the standpoint of holding the fort until a preferred starter is available to return from an injury. Quote:For him, I think it is more injuries than ability. Agreed. He's a guy that will probably land on a roster between now and training camp. Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
