Wow. 10 OL on the roster already not counting Bryant and Lofton who both are pending FAs. Doesn't make sense to sign more OL if for 2 positions only. Are we planning to go 3 Americans on the OL?

Hopefully the plan is to keep Collaros safe and secure because he is terrible under pressure.

This may or may have anything to do with considering 3 import OL. More will be looked at and more will be signed. Some will be replaced and released before the main TC.

At the moment we have 4 starting OL and 1 from IR as potential free agents. When the dust settles we'll how things look then.

There's no ratio in training camp. You need to have enough bodies to run multiple line variations.

Also, when you get a guy to come up here after years of scouting them, you bring them up. At some point, Walters may sign a prospect he likes more and one of these OL gets cut before ever seeing camp. We see it every year.
