I discussed this in the OL thread, but Robinson gives $17.75 in savings.  Scherff gives $9 million this year plus another $7.5 million next year.  Combined, we're paying over $34 million for 1 year of service from Robinson and Scherff who aren't that good.  I cut them.

I would take the $34 million and get the best center and two guards for the money in free agency.  I then draft a tackle in round one with Little as a plan B, but hopefully he's just our swing tackle.  Harrison obviously starts at tackle.  Fortner competes for a backup spot.  Use a day 3 pick on the interior line for depth and possible future development.

I know it is a lot of change, but I believe it will give us the best offensive line without draining a bunch of money we need to resign Allen and others.

This is exactly how it should be done.

If Cowboys can’t resign Biadasz (weird last name) then he’s priority #1.
