We are extremely fortunate that a pro bowl caliber player became available due to injury and his old team already having a replacement with no need to hold onto the guy. It seems like a pretty unique set of circumstances, that if it works out, is basically manna from heaven.

Exactly. And the deal is, he does not have to still be Pro Bowl caliber. Even if he is average to above average, he will be MUCH better than what we have. However, going forward, there will always be an injury concern with him, but, I'll take that any day over the 100% positive concern that the Left Tackles I currently have cannot play.
