With Niang knowing the system, being only 24 on a cheap contract and having familiarity with Smith and Pat I just think it makes sense. Of course still bring in a cheap vet for cover but it would be wise to see what our third round pick can do now with full health and a good pre-season to build from.

Can't really bring Toney's situation into this. Toney came in mid-season and played meaningful snaps almost from the get-go. Dinged his hammy after two games(?), but the staff kept him off the field for four weeks or whatever it was, not (apparently) Toney. Toney said he was fine after just a week and a half. Tweaked his ankle in the playoffs, but he didn't miss anything but the rest of that game, right?
And I'm not saying cut Niang loose. Just that I doubt he ever is the starter at RT long-term. Especially if he's just Wylie.
