It would have been, but with the salary cap looming I think the roster decisions need to be adjusted. Really there have been some head scratchers on the oline anyway, Mongo and Spain seem to have been bad re-signs and probably contributed to Bobby Johnson heading out. I'm thinking Kromer might have more confidence in coaching up a youngster instead of hanging on to a vet due to his experience in the league.
In the end, there's a lot of hand wringing this off season about holes and contracts. I was merely pointing out beane was thinking about these two positions last off season with the guys that got plucked so it's pretty safe to assume he has a plan this offseason too, even if it hasn't come to fruition yet.
