as for paying interior lineman. Lots of teams pay big for d tackles. They are a huge part of the d. The good ones hold up well against the run and put pressure the qb up the middle , which is key In the era of quick drops and passes.
why would a gm say he was looking to spend big Of course he will down play his interest. I will be very surprised if they didn't sign a couple of Hyde type signings.
If the Bills trade a 2nd round pick plus , I don't seem them trading up in the draft for a qb. I can't see Beane using all his draft capitol for two qb's
It will be a big move up or Foles and another Peterman like dart in round 4 or 5 imo
I get it he earns a lot of money but I don't understand the rush to get rid of him. He can play Right tackle and coming of college there was talk that he could be an all pro guard. They can live with him on the books for at least next season. If he is healthy they have a rock solid pair of tackles.
for both it would depend on their number two. Rex would be a great manager if he had a strong focused person working with him /under him/. Marrone needs a guy like Rex to help him relate to the customers and or employees. all in all in the real world Rex would get more done.
