Also - it's clear Oakland is making room for Watson.

Oakland?

or Wilson

The Raiders aren't acquiring Wilson or Watson. They are getting rid of bad contracts/players with little to no dead money attached. There are a lot of quality free agents I suspect the Raiders are targeting.

PFF had us 4th best OL. 

 

4. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

You don’t expect rookie offensive linemen to come into the NFL and play the way Michael Onwenu did for the Patriots, especially rookie guards who were selected in the sixth round and forced into a starting job at tackle.

That didn’t stop Onwenu from slotting in as a top-10 right tackle in the NFL by PFF grade in addition to strong play at both left guard and right guard at various points in the season.

The New England offense didn’t have a whole lot going for it in 2020, but the offensive line is an area that they can count as a strength on that side of the football. It’s a group that could be dealt a big loss in the form of Joe Thuney, however. Thuney ended the season as the sixth-highest-graded left guard in the NFL and will be a free agent this offseason.

 

You have to think we are losing Thuney or Wynn as well as Cannon, so we'll see.

Re-worked, 1-year worth up to $11M. Think this signifies the end of Thuney’s time in NE, unfortunately. Might see something happen with Cannon too, who had a couple really good seasons as a Patriot but ultimately hasn’t been able to stay on the field for one reason or another. No reason to keep Thuney/Andrews, add Brown, do nothing with Cannon (which isn’t a guarantee), and then have two of Onwenu and Cannon/Wynn ride the bench (unavailability of the latter two aside).

I’m cool with Trent in a now contract year. Wonder what it took.

EDIT: Since we appear to be going down this road, I’d be cool if the Lions want to send Jamie Collins back our way on a re-worked deal...

Lions restructured Collins. Seems like they're going to keep him this year.
