Why displace Barksdale??? Seems he’s the only guy who’s really doing his job at the highest level…
Well this is just me speculator-atizing.
Just going through the options. I know a lot of this is obvious.
But, I don’t see them keeping 4 big contract linemen. So if they sign Barksdale, then, they have to let someone else go. One hang-up…apparently, Boudreau linemen get market attention and money. So he could cost.
They could keep Barksdale and then let Long or Wells go or both. IF Jones comes through then Wells is not an issue. If Jones can’t cut it…they either have to keep Wells, or find someone, or both (draft or free agency).
Long is an amazing run-blocker, better than Barksdale. I just don’t want him pass-blocking on the left next year unless he just improves this year and can carry it over. So a Robinson left, Long right combo makes sense. Then again…so does a Robinson left, Barksdale right combo. Then again (again), if Long improves—and he just had a shakey start—another combo that makes sense is Long left, Robinson right.
Saffold is in place.
Looks like the only thing up for grabs is guard. Unless they keep Barksdale and Long both, which could happen too if they like Jones and can part with Wells. Under those circumstances, they keep GR at guard for another year.
I don’t think that’s even all the options.
Short answer:
I dunno.
