They still drafted Raimann to be the LT. It's clear they want him to take over with the rotation and unfortunately his injury halted that progress. By the way, he was full participation last Friday and looks like he's not on the injury report anymore. Hopefully this happens soon. And then we just can't know about free agency except in regards to the teams that sign the guys. Like we talked about Terron Armstead a lot here. Did the Colts not like him? Was 5yr/$75m too expensive? Did Armstead just flat out say "No" to the Colts? I would love to know that kind of stuff, but unfortunately all we can know is that he signed with Miami. |

Same goes for Pinter. Like you I am surprised that he struggled as much as he did, but you and I aren't watching him in practice everyday. I read that Pinter struggled all throughout training camp w/ bull rushes, which of course continued into the season. This can't be something new with him. You would think at least Strausser would have known that Pinter would be a disaster, and that he would let Ballard know this before Ballard let's guys like Glow and Reed walk with the expectation that Pinter could step in as a starter. Maybe the FO and coaching staff are working in silos or Strausser is too big of a pussy to say anything to Ballard. Agree on Raimann, but it can't be wise to pin your hopes on a 3rd round rookie out of mid major who's only played the position for 2 years. Not to say that he's not going to pan out in the long term, but from a realistic standpoint he's probably going to struggle his rookie year. |

I can only guess that they were satisfied Painter's 2021 film and thought he could make the move to guard. His backup being young Will Fries might be part of the reason they stuck with him so long. Fries had much better pass-pro than Pinter. But Pryor is massive and God knows we need some push in the interior. I really hope they're considering it. |

My guess is they didnt want to pay glow and reed, I am surprised they didnt keep one of them. They bet on pinter and lost.
I get that maybe they couldnt get a LT to sign, but if truly believed that pryor was acceptable then they have major issues. |

Agree on Glow and Reed. Especially Glow b/c based on what we've seen this year he may have been our best OL and the glue that kept the OL from turning into a shit sandwich. Also, I know Reed probably gave Minny a somewhat hometown discount, but you would think we could have outbid them for not much more than the 2 year, $4.5M contract they gave him if he was given a legitimate chance to start here.

Agree that we maybe couldn't have brought in a FA LT w/out breaking the bank, but there had to have been a better option than Pryor. Just go look at the link in Chromeburn's post. Pryor is completely lost out there. |
