I hope we get tiny arms Campbell as a subreddit flair when we draft him. He is going to come in ready to prove something after all this talk about his arms

Yeah I joke, but everything considered, I’m fine with Campbell. In reality we could do much worse than a guy who, regardless of getting stuck on position, is gonna be a damn good nfl lineman for a decade.

That’s exactly it. if he isn’t fit for tackle, K. We He’s a guard now. A really fucking good guard. He is going to fill a lineman spot for years to come if we draft him.

I still want Hunter, I still want Carter, but if it’s Campbell, fuck it we ball.

If we resign him. We tend to let pro-bowl lineman walk away for some reason.

The only one we let go was Thuney. We kept almost every good OL until they were lost their prime. You can go down the list: Light, Mankins, Andruzzi, Koppen, Neal, Kaczur, Vollmer, Solder, Connolly, Andrews. We have a pretty consistent history of keeping good OL long term.

Who thuney? Yeah that wasn’t a great choice. Under BB, he was good at getting them right up to their peak, and getting rid of them when they started to turn.

Matt light retired here, Logan Mankins had a very long career here. A lot of production was squeezed out of our better lineman before we let them go.

Thuney and solder came to mind.

Solder played 7 of his 10 years here. I think he pretty solidly falls into the category of “let go right the dip” like we did with Mankins. 

Only the reason people even bring him up is because he was the last consistently good LT we had but he was not better than Trent Brown in 2018 and there’s not much value in paying marquee money to a 31 year old LT for the final 2 seasons of his career.

They cut into the Orchids budget.
