Most interesting decision regarding OL will be Humphries. He isn't great or even good, but considering the state of our OL we are better with him than without. It sucks that he is injured way too often, which hasn't helped his development either. He could be a really good LT if he could just avoid the injury bug.
Cunningham stepping up is a valid reason to don't keep Humphries at all costs. The 5th year option is too expensive for a player who can't stay healthy, given it's fully guaranteed in case of injury. Cunningham is playing on the same level at LT as Humphries, but plays basically for free and has much more room to develop at this point.
The best thing would be to offer Humphries some sort of prove it deal. He won't accept though, since some team will be willing to give him at least a decent multi year contract in free agency, given the premium position he plays. Just like we gave it to Pugh who is always injured and not even playing a premium position.
Only chance I see Humphries sticking around is if we can work out an incentive-heavy 2 or 3 year deal, where the final year is huge but not fully guaranteed. Probably won't be accepted by him either, as there will be more to earn in free agency. But maybe they can find some middle ground. It's scary to think our OL could be even worse than this season.
Iupati is gone. Pugh will go back to LG. Cole will start. Cunningham too, but not sure on which side. We need to swing for OL both in the draft and free agency.
