Like any free agent this offseason, there's going to be some shady stuff involved.
I'm personally not a huge fan of the signing. I don't know where they put him, unless they're thinking of moving Waters right. And I still think Lilja is largely a product of Manning's quick decisions and blitz pickups. That being said, our Guards are definitely a whole lot better. And maybe Lilja is intended to be a stopgap. If there's any bright side, it's that Cassel has no excuse to fail.
