Shaffer can give us 2-3 good productive yrs, and then we can draft a younger RT. If we sign him, that's 1 less need we have to worry about going into the draft. skinsfan_nn 03-12-2009, 09:55 PM I would certainly take a look at KS if I where the Skins quickly, as I don't think he will be on the market long. IMO he could be a huge upgrade over what we have now at RT, and this is going to be one if not the most important holes left to fill. Still relatively young at 29, good size, doesn't miss games, or have injury problems. And is a solid performer.

Can he play strongside linebacker or defensive end too? 53Fan 03-12-2009, 10:35 PM Schneed's Salary Cap projection puts the OL hit at 3.5, so we would have to work something out with him to get the deal done. Course we could release Rabach and gain 2.3 but that would mean we HAVE to do something for the Center position. Like draft Alex Mack? Samuels Dockery Mack Thomas Shaffer Oh yeah. I could live with that. And JC would probably live a lot longer with that. :) GridIron26 03-12-2009, 10:42 PM Like draft Alex Mack? Samuels Dockery Mack Thomas Shaffer Oh yeah. I could live with that. And JC would probably live a lot longer with that. :) That sounds pretty good; however I'm pretty sure if we sign Shaffer, we will go on defensive side and draft LB or DE.. 53Fan 03-12-2009, 10:46 PM That sounds pretty good; however I'm pretty sure if we sign Shaffer, we will go on defensive side and draft LB or DE.. Maybe. But you've got to admit that would be a hell of a line. The Goat 03-12-2009, 10:52 PM Maybe. But you've got to admit that would be a hell of a line. Ditto... it's also tempting because we could let Rabach go and save a pile of cash. ... if we sign a legit RT in FA, which I'm thinking the FO will, then trading back to get Mack and a LB is best case scenario. But I still doubt this works. I think we're stuck at 13.

But I wonder if given a choice who he would rather play for? hooskins 03-12-2009, 11:30 PM I think the Browns will try to bring him back Insider info?
