A couple things I don't like about this -
1. It further depletes an already struggling line. If I remember correctly, this is Herb Taylor's natural position so he could step in, but Waters is a probowler so this would be a downgrade. We already need a new C, RG and RT.
2. Most of the quality Olinemen available in free agency are now off the market. There's still Khalif Barnes if we need a RT but very few others. That means, we'd be heading into the draft with four holes on our offensive line.
3. Waters is a leader on that line (not to mention the entire team) and certainly not doing Brandon Alberts any harm as a mentor.
Hopefully his comments were made when he was still upset over what happened. So perhaps this all blows over when he calms down. I know Haley/Pioli were planning on "reaching out" to Larry Johnson. I can't imagine they'd be so quick to part with Waters.
