I had a feeling this was coming.Paying 3 mil a year for one of the
worst centers in the game,had to be addressed.Goff has to be happy
with all the recent developments.

4. Nick Mangold, C, New York Jets
Nick Mangold’s decline is definitely underway, but he is coming down from a point of being the unquestioned best center in the league, so even now, he should still be able to start and perform well for a team for at least a season as a stopgap at center. Mangold isn’t the run blocker he once was, but he hasn’t allowed a sack in his last 33 games, and has surrendered just one in the past four seasons. A strong, experienced center can anchor and transform an offensive line, so Mangold could provide some short-term stability to a unit in need of an interior presence.

5. John Sullivan, C, Washington Redskins
John Sullivan has only played 98 snaps in the last two seasons, and will be 32 when the season begins, but only one of those seasons was lost due to injury, the other was a result of simply not finding a new starting spot after that injury and spending 2016 on the bench in Washington. Sullivan, though, was playing at a high level before knee surgery sidelined him, and has now had extensive time to heal and recover. If given a shot, Sullivan could likely do a very solid job for a team at center for a season.

Barnes' likely only saving grace was that he knew the offense...

One could hope a TruJo trade(love the guy not cost), then signing(if healthy) Mangold. Talk about really fixing the line for a few years. One can hope.

Seriously, who do they have in mind? A UFA? A draft pick? Wichmann? Rainey?


Always wondered if Wichmann could play center, but he's never done it in a live game far as I know. With grob likely moving to G, he might want to try working on his snaps..

Every defense in the league knew our offense. In fact about the only people who didn't know our offense were our coaches.

You were probably surfing or hanging out with chicks lol


You are correct on both. lol

I posted that article because of the underscored. Seems to be breaking down lately. If he would sign for far less that he's accustomed, then I'd go to war with him for sure..

Yay!!!!

Our offensive line can improve now, we dont get pushed around and mauled at the point of attack. Time to get someone who can anchor in he middle.
