My interpretation is that Andy Reid just didn't think he fit the kind of line Reid wants to build and that with free agency and the draft full of respectable tackles he thinks he can do better.  |
My perception of Winston last year is that he seemed to be better at run blocking than at pass protection. If Andy Reid wants to build a pass-first team, perhaps that could be the reason? I hope Andy realizes that Jamaal Charles is our primary offensive weapon, though.
