On a related story with Torry Holt, the St. Louis Rams are reportedly trying to trade 33 year old, left tackle Orlando Pace but I think rather than trade for a 33 year old (recently) often injured left tackle, Kansas City would be better off signing a 32 year old right tackle, Mark Tauscher. Tauscher had an ACL injury last year that caused him to miss the last 3 games, but he has been pretty solid for 9 seasons with Green Bay. If we signed Tauscher, Branden Albert would stay at left tackle, and KC would not have to give up anything in a trade for Pace. Another drawback to a trade for Orlando Pace is his current contract, $5.975MM in 2009, $7.175MM in 2010, and $8.375MM in 2011.
Of the remaining free agent offensive linemen, Mark might be the best option.
