Mainly because the injury rate in the NFL is 100%. If he checks out medically, then who cares what happened the year prior? Or even the year before that. Look at Bradford and his huge liability tag. Didn't matter last year, did it? I don't get why people think we should just go ahead and get rid of the guy when he's actually a very good lineman and we happen to need those guys every single year. It's not our money. If the Rams think they can fit him in, then I have no problem with that. He's a stout sumbitch, and I'd love to see him bounce back again.How can a guy who only played 5 games last year be considered anything but a liability?
lol pretty much sums it upCuz he's the only guy on the team that can play RT, RG, LG, and LT. If he doesn't make it through the season, then bummer for us. If he does, then jackpot.
I didn't say get rid of him, I said he is not our best or most versatile OL.Mainly because the injury rate in the NFL is 100%. If he checks out medically, then who cares what happened the year prior?

Yeah, I get that. Looks bad. But still. I'm keeping him on the team if it's me, because I want players who can slide all over the line and play well. I can't recall a single time that Saffold has graded out poorly over the course of a year. I'll leave it up to Demoff to work out the financials. If he can, great. If he can't, oh well.In 6 years he has 2 where he played all 16 games. He has played a total of 68 out of a possible 96, that is a liability.
For depth and experience he may not be our best but he's not our worst. You look at the injuries we continue to have and you should want that versatility.Yeah, I get that. Looks bad. But still.

Hopefully the reason is NOT because they feel like he needs to be there to hold GRs hand next year.

Well, he kinda does. Do you not think he's a good LG, or do you just have reservations about him starting due to his injury history?If he only "backed up" at those positions, it would be agreeable and a reasonable risk.
The main concern I have with Roger is he wasn't too great last year before he got hurt. Yeah, we know the guy is going to get dinged up because of how he plays, but he just didn't dominate at all and it seemed like when he went out the line settled down.
Do I understand the Rams might keep him around due to his experience on a very young OL? Sure. But I am not of the mind that he's our best lineman any longer. That would be Havenstein, IMO.
