Now that some time has elapsed since Whitlock published Brian Waters' diary, I've come to a different conclusion about what ought to be done in the situation.
I think you work it out and keep him here. Or at least come to a point where it looks like you've worked it out and THEN move him to another team.
We've got so many holes in this roster, particularly if we're moving to 3-4 base defense, that it would be nice to not have to worry about the left side of the O-line at least for this year. Unlike LJ, I don't believe Waters would do anything less than his best if he's retained. These are all men and I'm sure they can work it out in a way that helps Waters move forward and the leadership save the reputation as a hard-ass organization.
Now, if Buffalo or someone else blew us away with an offer, that's a different story. But my hope is that they can work through it so that we have one less roster spot to fill this year. And with Cassel back there, I'm pretty sure Pioli's going to make sure the left side of the line is fortified.
BTW along those lines, whoever mentioned moving Albert from LT is crazy.
