I like this move for a late 6th rounder.

But he’s also got a substantial injury history, especially the last 2 years

A late 6th rounder? Since we have a few of them, why not?

On last year of his contract. 6.6M cap hit. (Not sure if the Steelers absorb some of that. I think they eat the 1.7M dead money and we’re on the hook for 4.9M). Stop gap at RT this year I’m sure. (Just turned 31). Solid trade if he can stay healthy. (The if he can stay healthy thing seems to be with all of our OL)

I like it, get him for 1yr $4.9, we can probably do an "1y extension" that converts that to all bonus to spread it out if needed. I think he's a better stopgap at RT then Barksdale would be until we see what we have in Cunningham.

He'll cost the Cards $4.9M.
You have to be concerned with his injury history but a 1 year deal at a decent price all for a late pick I think it is a reasonable gamble

Meh. We gave up pocket lint.

wouldn`t it just have been smarter to re-sign Barksdale? Might have been cheaper.

That’s what I thought. Thanks!

Evidently not.

IF (a big IF) he can give us 12+ games and Korey Cunningham (or a mid-round draftee) can continue to develop he is a good bridge guy at the position.

They may sign him back too. You never know.

PFF has graded him as a top 5 RT over the past 5 years.
Solid addition, has worked with Kugler in the past.

My only concern is with Humphries, Pugh, and now Gilbert, what is the likelihood of having another street free agent constructed O-Line by week 8?

That sounds like a very strong quality player and the familiarity with OL coach is very good news too.

Marcus Gilbert is a beast a top OT. 4.9 cap hit as well.
I love this move hope the line stays healthy.

I think the GOOD thing about trading for Gilbert is that the team does have one good young tackle prospect in Korey Kunningham and this allows him not to have to start right off the bat.
I would still love to see the team sign Trent Brown and get rid of Humphries. It will burn a lot of the cap space but it would set the team up for the future.

An IF guy, but I like it.

Go to PFF and check Brown's pass pro numbers.
