Offensive Tackle Released

Jon Stinchcomb released by Saints...Should we take a look at? Would be another solid veteran...? Your thoughts?

I like him better than Diem. But if Ilajana is going to stay at RT because of the shortened off-season, then I think we need another Guard. Pollack just isn't going to cut it.

He's a big boy and seems to have started alot for the Saints without being injured. Might be worth checking out for a good price, I think we definitely need more depth in the OL and or players with more potential than some of our current ones linemen.

Quality tackles are not released due to numbers.

I don't think he would be an upgrade over who is already on the roster.

He's recovering from a quad injury he suffered last season, but it's not supposed to be a serious lingering injury. He played through it last year. He should be ready to play this season. I don't know much about him other than he has started for the last 5 years without missing a start and he made the pro bowl a couple of years ago. And he was due to make $2.something million this year... We've got a bit of cap room left, and considering the loss of CJ and the inexperience of our o-line, he might be a smart pick up for depth or potentially even as a starter.

If he was a guard I would consider it... too bad he's not a guard. We're already stacked at tackle, and he's a RT. We can't have Diem, Ijalana, and Stinchcomb, it would be too much. Plus he's expensive

I would love the idea of bringing him in at RT to teach Ijalana some things. That would also mean Diem would move back to his natural position of guard. It probably won't happen because we are running thin on cap space, but it is a good thought.

How is Diem a natural guard? RT has been his natural posistion his entire career including college.

Think he refers to CJ who was a natural guard if i'm not mistaken.

I think you have Johnson and Diem mixed up.

There is zero point in bringing him in to teach Ijilana anything, because Diem has been doing it longer, and was better. Id rather Diem teach him than anyone else not on the Colts coaching staff, he has been on the line (playing RT) longer than anyone else not named Saturday.

Agree with this fully. He wouldn't be an upgrade over anyone we have and I don't think he is looking to be a backup at this point in his career.

In which case, he'd still be wrong, because CJ was never a natural guard. He's played a teensy weensy bit of guard for us, but was a TE converted to Tackle, who then played mostly Tackle for us (and will do the same in Minnesota).
