Jason Fitzgerald thinks JR Sweezy will command a $4 million a year contract.
$4M isn't what $4M used to be though. What's the cap gonna be this year -- $155M? So $4M is basically 1/40 of the cap space. If 1/53 is "average" then $4M is just a bit over that.That's surprising. He's in the lower tier of starting OGs.

I think you're really overestimating guard play across the league.
IDK Sonny, Sweezy penalty prone and poor at pass blocking, yet he'll get a good offer, partially because he's a starter on a very sucessfull team. I'm actually looking forward to seeing Glowinski get on the field. He looked marvelous in his one start for Sweezy last year. Too short of a sample size to draw firm conclusions, but I sure liked what I saw.
If Glowinski is ready to step on the field and be as good as Sweezy, then he should have been starting in place of Britt most of the year.
Pass blocking guards are not really out there, IMO at least. Interior passrushers are getting more and more athletic and these guards have yet to catch up. I think Sweezy is an average starter at right guard in terms of ability. But he has two things that move him up to a good RG, nastiness, and reliability.
Yes he draws some bad flags. But he also is the first guy to punish a defender for getting to Wilson late, which is sometimes a justified flag. Breno had the same issues, and because of them I was ready for him to move on, but now I sure he was here to provide more edge to the line.

Rumors are that the Jets could be releasing Breno... If so, I could see the Hawks taking another look at him...
If the Seahawks bring back a ex Seahawks OL, I'd prefer Unger who may be a cap cut also.I wouldn't mind seeing giacomini come back.

Your right about comebacks from this injury. It's concerning.Only concern is that the Patella tear is a lot tougher on a player than the standard ACL... Hopefully he recovers 100% like most do coming off a ACL injury... Historically, guys that tore their Patella haven't comeback the same...
