Son of Beavers, who are the offensive linemen we could sign or trade for just in case?

0:15.9

Man, if you have a good offensive lineman, you keep them forever.

0:20.3

I mean, I can look. I know people

0:22.8

have thrown me out some names. Hey, there's this guy from the dolphins and maybe they trade.

0:26.5

Oh, okay. I mean, if there's, if there's a guy out there that another team will trade.

0:32.6

Okay. But usually if you're a good offensive lineman, you're not getting traded.

0:38.6

Not unless it's a Cam Robinson situation where the team is already unhappy with you.

0:43.1

And to say that he's a good offensive lineman would be a stretch, he was a starter.

0:47.1

But the team was already unhappy with him.

0:49.4

He had had some injuries.

1:16.2

not just say, hey, well, we'll just trade you away.

1:19.1

I think there are other positions where you can find a little easier than the center position.

1:24.4

I think center position is extremely, extremely hard to find.

1:46.2

So I don't have a good list. If you've got guys that you're, some people mentioned the guy from the Raiders, but he's, he's pretty young. Like, are they doing that? I don't think the Raiders are going to tank. I think they're going to try to fight this out. So I'd be pretty surprised if there's anybody who ends up available at the offensive line spot that they could trade for.

1:47.5
