No, but we've become pretty adept at not paying anyone.

I responded to it the way I did to highlight the question that no one can answer, which is: How do you pay your offensive linemen and keep all your defensive stars, pay your franchise QB and give him sufficient talent at the skill positions and stay under the cap? It just seems everybody wants it all.
I am all on board acknowledging the lack of effective OL player development, but you can only do so much when you have to keep Sherman, Chancellor, Thomas, Wagner, Wright, Bennett, Avril, Wilson, Graham, Avril and Baldwin happy.

He's not a bruiser like a RT has to be in our system and for most of the league and he's never played Guard which will require another year at least of learning how to play that position not to mention the power required to play inside.
I just don't see it happening - or at least being successful if he is moved, but I do see him possibly being the future LT.

This puts heavy pressure on the LT/RT to push people wider than they normally should have to push them. This also opens them up for an inside rush since they are expecting to push the DE around RW. It's a hard spot to put someone in - including former pro bowlers.
RW doesn't progress very well through his reads. He stares down his receivers now and when his first option isn't open (probably because he's staring them down), he bails out the back. Other times, RW is trying to steer the ball into the players arms. He has to just let the ball go and quit trying to steer it. This is even more evident on the long passes he attempts. Either they are too short and our wide open recievers get covered because of it or they get terrible injuries from it.
I'm not sure how to get his confidence back but it needs to happen if we ever want to be dominant again.

Well, Duane Brown is our LT. So, Fant is NOT going to be a LT. He either goes to RT or to guard, and I don't see him as a guard.
The writing is kind of on the wall.

After that it's anyone's guess.
I'm going to say that Bevell will still be the OC.
Thank gawd I will never again pay for Seahawks games.
