This is why Lageman is on the radio and not in an NFL front office.

Cam is making $13.75 million and would get a 20% increase ($16.5 million) if we tag him 2x in a row.  So we'd essentially be demoting Cam to RT while paying him more than Taylor Lewan.  Here is a list of Offensive Linemen Contracts

Contract washes out if Little is your guy at LT and he's being paid on a 2nd RD rookie contract. It's a lot cheaper than drafting yet another LT 1st overall and hoping he's the next Boselli or Munoz. Which he's not being touted as at this point in time. 

It's also more affordable than trying to sign Armstead to a big contract deal to play LT and replace Robinson. Not to mention you're using cap space and a draft pick to address two positions that could have been utilized elsewhere in an area of clearer need.

I like the idea of tagging (or signing) Robinson and moving him to RT.  However, I think the team would have a very disgruntled player that would not want to play RT, seeing himself as a very capable LT.  I wouldn't want an expensive 1 year rental at RT.   Is the answer to keep Robinson at LT and have Little learn RT?  

I do hate the idea of just letting Robinson just walk for no value back to the team.  At minimum, I would like to see Robinson tagged and traded to another team if it is realistic.

I think he would be content getting premium money to play at RT. In the NFL you need a pair of viable T's anyways as most defenses have kept pushing more and mover over the years to put their more disruptive pass rushers on the LE anyway. 

I think you make Robinson and Little duke it out for LT. Loser battles Taylor for RT. Taylor then decides to be an [BLEEP], not play Guard, hurt his value as a lineman and play swing T for his final year. Or, he can play G or win his job outright. 

It's a win-win without having to piss away yet another draft pick or shell out big bucks to a new guy. Use those resources elsewhere. A good scheme could also go a long way in masking some of that unit's issues anyway.
