Because you're probably not going to find a reasonable/good starter in free agency. And we HAVE to stop trading our 1st round picks. No more trading for vets. That shit has to be done.

I just don't think you can panic with a guy like Brown and use that kind of reasoning. We're talking about paying a guy upwards of $25 million a year when he might not be the best fit with either our QB or the offense in general. I just can't justify doing it. I think they have to let him go if they don't think he's the right guy.
There are always stop gaps out there. Hell, bring back Fisher for a year if you have to and draft someone to develop. Right now I look at Orlando Brown and the thought of paying him elite LT money is just downright scary.
Of course, the coaches and front office might have a totally different idea and I'll trust whatever they decide. Sitting here in my "Madden" chair though, I feel like you're looking at a guy who's probably an 82 overall and talking about making him the second highest paid player on the team. I just don't know how you can do it. That's a simpleton's way of looking at it but you get the point.
As usual though, they get the benefit of the doubt and I'll trust whatever they decide. I'm sure they are just as on the fence as any of us at this point. The last month of the season and the playoffs will obviously go a long way in figuring it all out.
