I would look to trade him. He has high value and statistically speaking he is due to start to fall off. KO is you and they will only keep one of them so sign KO long term trade Yanda.

KO has back issues

[papasmurfbell]

He had surgery. Do you expect him to not be good anymore?

[GrubberRaven]

You're talking about an offensive lineman who gets pushed backwards every down he plays to stay healthy, with a bum back that's already been operated on. It's a roll of the dice. I think either signing is a risk, but I'd stick with Yanda.

[RavenMad]

I have to agree with Grubber here.

[papasmurfbell]

KO played well last yr. He is over a yr out from the knife. I have to go with youth.

[GrubberRaven]

KO missed a few games though, didn't he?

[papasmurfbell]

Wasn't that a knee?

[GrubberRaven]

So...knee and back problems...noted.

[papasmurfbell]

So no PB linemen have knee injury from time to time. Yanda has never been injured and out of the lineup. Did KO's back flare up again last yr?

[papasmurfbell]

Were you one of the ones who said they would and needed to bring Grubbs back?

[GrubberRaven]

Yeah, probably when our line went to shit...who was the Center who went to St Louis?

[papasmurfbell]

That was after Brown went to StL. Grubbs was done in 2012.
