That would be a glaring mistake, IMO.
If Pioli thinks Light has three or more years left, sign him and make the move.
Last year we drafted two players early that were drafted to be short field targets in Moeaki and Dexter. This year, we spent a first rounder on another receiver.
If we have to spend money, Light would be a good 3 year starter...not great, but pretty good.
I'd bet we do something to bolster the line and this would upgrade multiple spots.

It would be spending a shitload of money for a mild upgrade at LT and a good not great upgrade at RT. If you want a RT, pay for a natural RT. Light isn't going to bring a whole lot more to the table than Albert, and Albert has both youth AND a ton of upside potential.
People forget that when Brady went down, the Pats' o-line looked like a complete mess until they went pure dink-and-dunk. Some of that is on Cassel, but a lot of that is because Brady is easily the best in the game at making adjustments that make the offensive line look good. It's very hard to blitz on Brady. And most of the time, he's going to get rid of the ball very quickly. Good way to make a good not great LT look like a pro bowler. I'm not convinced at all that Light is a whole lot better than Albert.
