So they tag Cam to make sure they have an experienced LT on the roster. That is the intelligent thing to do when you have a rookie QB coming in and there are no guarantees they will find an immediate upgrade in free agency or the draft.

Right now Cam is a 1 year insurance policy.


You are acting like they signed him to a big multi year contract.

(Emphasis added)

I agree with you over the need to tag Cam, but I wanted to address the question in bold.

Any player cut or released by a team could be signed before the free agency period begins, so in theory, we could sign Riley Reiff.

I'm thinking we go all out for Trent Williams, if we can't get him then atleast we have Cam for insurance.  Just because we tagged Cam won't stop us from taking a LT if he's the top player on the board, but by tagging Cam our backs won't be against the wall and make a forced pick at LT because of need.  True BAP like I've wished all along
