I think you are looking at Ryan Groy as a left guard, possibly signing a guy like Luke Joeckel. Newhouse also has some versatility and can play guard. Bodine can play center and guard. 

 

This is a very big loss, but we still have options. 

 

Yeah I hate it but we have coverage.  I wonder if Jon Miller is in the mix at all with a new offensive scheme?

Cordy Glenn barely played last year and we already have a LT to take his place.  We used Glenn trade to specifically move up to get better leverage to get the QB.

Wood retired a few days after the WC game.

So right now, it's just losing a guard.  That's the only thing that's changed recently.

he's already in another thread predicting 4 wins.  let him have his fun.

You can find OL late in the drafts. If this is true, he did a very good job for Buffalo. Health comes first, I can't judge him. Best of luck

Health comes first but if you give me 15 percent more I will ignore my own health? 

 

Seems like sour grapes, the pay cut and his buddy Wood retiring and being challenged for his signing bonus.

Umm, didn’t see that coming. 

 

I wish him nothing but the best in his retirement. Football is a tough game.

As YOLO pointed out he has an interest working in the media field. I have seen him in interviews and also doing analysis and commentary on players and teams. He is terrific. He's articulate and has a lot of personality behind the mic. 

 

RI has been in the league long enough to see the toll the game has on players and himself. That's the ugly side of the business that fans don't want to see. When it comes to one's health it is better to be cautious than stretch out another year or so in the game that can forever damage one's health. 

 

I wish him well.

More than ever you need to get them in FA to contribute fast. Projects are taking longer with the low contact rules for practice. Would’ve been great to know this a month ago... but if it’s a health issue so be it. If it’s health and money it’s a bit sketchier

Wish him the best as he gave us a few very good seasons at a reasonable price. At his age, I was expecting a decline in his play and I don't think he will be a huge loss as far as ability and performance. However, his nasty attitude and aggressive style of play might be missed.

John Miller will have a resurgent year, I believe that through and through. New power run scheme is perfectly suited for him.
