Also, RG is less of a problem than LG. Jeff Allen looked like dogshit on Thursday. If we replace anybody on our line, it needs to be Allen.

My guess is that he's looking for about 4-5 million. I think it is doable without giving up keeping Smith or Houston. I don't think there's a huge difference between playing lg and rg...he could play either. Again, he solidifies the line today and you can shift him out to tackle and he might do better than the guys there now (he was really good when replacing Staley). OL is the most important part of the offense imo.
