Let me take a quick look at the OL now with Wester signed. Typically we'll keep nine or ten OLs, and the guys we know about are...

LT Cam Robinson, Josh Wells
LG Andrew Norwell
C Brandon Linder, Tyler Shatley
RG AJ Cann

...

As for AJ Cann, there's no need to even contemplate replacing him as the starting RG. His latest contract extension says he's their starting RG this year.

It wasn't an extension technically, but just a new deal. 

I agree it probably means they expect him to start, but the deal makes him easy to cut prior to the 2020 season and VERY easy to cut prior to 2021.  It's also only 6 million in guaranteed money.  So - I would not rule out a situation that sees Cann's position challenged this year. 

Most are assuming a tackle will be drafted prior to the 4th round this year to compete with Richardson. 
The loser of that battle could compete for the RG spot if Warhop/Marrone wish. I hope it plays out that way.

Get the best five guys out there, and a $6 mil contract need not matter.
