Yeah. I mean, peak Mitchell Schwartz can probably handle him 1x1. There aren't many T in the league who are going to hold up against him on an island without fail.

Again, if they decide to go with a veteran in place of Fisher I think there will be much better options than old man Peters, especially coming off of toe surgery that ended his season in December.

Yeah, I'm aware of that. Vet minimum for him would probably be something like 1.1 or 1.2 million, but if he signs for a deal where he isn't one of their top 51 salaries, there's no impact to the cap. If he DOES sign for a deal that puts him in the top 51 you'd be liable for dead money if cutting him... but that's money that's spent and under the cap already at that point.
He signed for 1 year, $3M last year. I can't see him getting that again. It will be less. If it's more than 1.5-2 with incentives that take it higher, I'm 100 percent out.

Let's get real, we've seen what the duo of Remmers and Wylie did and that wasn't pretty. We have to have a servicable REAL T by opening day. Not a G that knows where the T lines up, a REAL T.

See above. I'm not saying it's THE plan. Just one potential way to approach it that COULD work or make sense.
