I was doing some research on the FA right tackles, and I'm thinking that the only solution is going to be internal promotion. The top names are left tackles like Max Starks and Demetrius Bell, and those guys will command the big bucks. The top right tackles are Arizona's Brandon Keith, Oakland's Khalif Barnes, and Kareem McKenzie from the Giants. I am not sure that with Willie Smith might not be the best option.

Plus the internal promotion is nice because it doesn't force you to make a decision on Jammal Brown during the offseason. Brown's probably cooked as an NFL tackle, but if you are looking at Willie Smith or Sean Locklear on the right side next year, you can give Jammal Brown the preseason to evaluate him. If you're going to make a play for Max Starks or draft an OT in the first round, then Brown has to go in the middle of the offseason, and there is plenty of dead money associated with that.
