The guy is testing his options, I don't see the big deal personally. Sometimes you get lucky and Prince is a great fit and loves what his role would be. That isn't the same way with all players. Ayers wanted to be a focal point and starter, we couldn't promise him that with Fowler. With Joeckel, we can't promise him the LT job and he may be getting that from other teams or being told his chances are better elsewhere. It's not always cut and dry with what is the obvious choice. 

 

Think we all need to take a deep breath here. If we don't land him, we got Joeckel who is an average LT and good enough with upside. If we get him, we get more competition and most likely a better LT unless Luke takes another step which is possible.

 

We'll be fine either way. I'd prefer Beachum route, but still.
