Admittedly I am not an OL wonk like some of the others around here, but I get the impression he isn’t the same guy anymore. 
 

Hoping this isn’t big money. 
 

Anybody smarter than me have any insights?

Good to very good run blocker. Below average in pass protection at this point in his career.

You've captured my concerns concisely.  I don't think Saffold is That Guy any more.

 

On the other hand...he started his career 12 years ago as a LT, and has played RG and LG.  So there's that.

I know he's a "name" and that he's worked with Kromer before, but he's aging and declining.

I'll wait to see the contract numbers before I form an opinion. I doubt he'll be worse than Williams.

He also doesn't count against the compensatory pick formula because he was a cut player, so there's that.

I know the name, but also know he is on the back end of his career. Hopefully we are paying him less than we would of been paying Williams for next season as I don't see him as a much of an upgrade.

I take personal offense at this remark.
