If they sign him after Monday, great. If not, I'm not going to cry about it.

No, it is a RISK. One that if it works out is very smart... only dumb if his knee doesn't hold up.

I don't see ANY reason to worry about his health... if a person is VERY disciplined in regards to their recovery, microfracture surgery isn't a huge deal... the problem is that most pro athletes are not the most disciplined people. Jon is.

Do I think he is a long term answer? not at all. Do I think he single handedly will win us games? nope. Do I think he will help shape the discipline and intensity of our future offensive lines? absolutely.

(Oh and he may actually help our QB last most of the season)

Well, this pipe dream is just that. He's not signing before tomorrow.

Yup, I think the deadline passed 20 mins ago. Which means it is highly unlikely we get him at all...
