Eagles actually did him a solid. He requested his release, and they granted it. Lots of depth on that Eagles interior OL, so they let him go to seek a better opportunity elsewhere. Which is nice for him, and nice for us.

I mentioned this the other day in regards to the LB, DT, & S issues, too. This is the time of year when teams will let players they like get another opportunity if it’s clear they’re not gonna make their roster. There’ll be more mini-draft to come.

Why is anyone remarking on the fact that an NFL Olineman is fat? Isn’t it a requirement of the job?

I just remembered that Vera Tucker can play tackle - so If Becton stubs his big toe Vera Tucker can move to Rt Tackle and Herbig gets plugged into guard. Not the best scenario but I've seen a lot worse with this team.

I feel we're like one tackle away from being set for real realz

You keep him around through camp.  Maybe someone loses a guard in the summer and is willing to throw a late round pick at us for a guy with some starting experience.  But if our OL stays healthy, I don't see a role for him and with no dead $ if we release him.  Seems like a long shot to make the roster.

On one hand the idea of being able to acquire something for him sounds ridiculous, but the other hand Joe Douglas got a sixth round pick for Blake Cashman and a fourth round pick for Chris Herndon.

Also depending on how the offseason goes, Jets might want some depth at LB, DT, or maybe S and try a player for player trade. The corner room seems pretty in play for that too.
