Well, I sure hope we're not counting on him. Hopefully, this was just a one year 'prove it' signing for a reserve spot in case they have to move Mekari to a regular starting role.
If there is an O-lineman who's on our radar and within 4-5 spots where we're drafting, we have to take him over a WR and CB. Not saying we don't need the last two but O-line has to have priority.
That was my first impression too, but they voided the last year of his contract so maybe they didn't want him back for some reason or maybe that pissed him off?
