That's what you meant... right?
Absolutely not.
I don't think he has a current 40 time on record.

We won't be doing anything with this guy until the market is set. If teams are willing to give him a shot at LT (and considering the dearth of talent in the NFL, I'm sure more than a few will) we have zero shot at getting him.

Exactly.

I think the market is fairly set at this point.
It's the third wave of Free Agency.
Teams have had 3 months to answer offensive line problems.
AND the draft is over.

I'm sure a couple teams might be interested, but I'd have to think his options are limited at this point. You don't leave your LT up in the air for 3 months of the off-season. RT maybe...

If the bengals OLine is so bad, and he was willing to play RT, why didn't they keep him?

He wouldn't be the first guy to take a paycut from anyone but his original team. Players do that shit all the time.

Teams always settle for what they have in the off-chance that a potential upgrade comes along later. It's going to depend on how many teams view him as an UPGRADE at LT.

They also have Andre Smith and Anthony Collins. No point in keeping someone who isn't going to start...and doesn't want to take a paycut.

is this where I say "print 'em?"

We should seriously bring him in and move Albert over to RT, or even better to his natural, all-pro position, LG.

I tend to agree.
I'm guessing there will be 5-6 teams vying for his services.

When I hear the name Levi Jones, the only thing that comes to mind is JA whipping his ass.

We are 30 million dollars under the cap. We should be one of those teams.

Why? He's not better than Brandon Albert and would likely want to be paid MORE.
