I don't think they will have great options through free agency or trading to get a veteran player either. You'll end up overpaying for a dude that isn't great (another Jawaan Taylor) or has injury baggage that might blow up in your face (DJ Humphries, Ronnie Stanley/Cam Robinson??).
Maybe they just need to get lucky with Kingsley or Wanya or some other draft pick magically turning into a solid guy at this position. The team has had its share of bad luck at this position ever since Eric Fisher's injury. Maybe one of these days their luck will turn around.

I'm gonna bet we end up throwing numbers at it, because yeah the other options just don't look great unless some team unloads a reliable guy because they got a gem in the draft or a free agent they simply like better
Bring Humphries back, Kingsley, some mid FA looking for a fresh start etc... it'll be something like that IMO
