Skins signed 25-year old tackle Bruce Campbell to a 1-year contract.
Good signing for depth and camp competition for starting RT spot if we cannot land a better FA to replace Polumbus. He's also insurance if we decide to go the route of a draft pick to fill the RT spot. Rookies are never a sure thing as we learned with our rookie safeties last season.

They are signing non elite talent on the O-Line, not happy about that.

probably didn't sign him as a starter. I see him more as our new punt returner.

It's only Day 2.
O-lineman did not have the demand that defensive backs had on Day 1, so there are plenty of quality starters still out there.

Well you dont need an elite RT and who is the elite talent out there right now?

Good wheels for a big man.

Big men who are great athletes get multiple chances to succeed. It's a one-year contract, so I'm OK with it if it's under $1MM.

Got him for less than a mill.
He will be competing for a roster spot, not necessarily a starting spot, per Tandler.
Depth to go into training camp with.
No need to take cyanide yet, ladies.

Low risk...and if Campbell has matured so that he can use his oodles of raw talent, high reward.
I like it.

I like these young signings. Gives a lot of room to grow. And we COULD pick up a starter in the draft. It's way too early to start panicking.
