Yes, we want Lofton back, he is serviceable.  You cannot have an all star at every position, unless 3/4's of them are new recruits on ELC's.  If he doesn't, we have Randolph, Vanterpool and about a thousand NCAA OT's that did not make the NFL, with three new sets of eyes having scouted them.

If Dobson gets a better offer, Randolph can step in if Wallace doesn't.

We are still decently deep at every Oline position, with players in the pipeline.  Eli is a great backup C and 6th man, Wallace and the other draft choices will fight to win spots. 

Oline is my least concern.

the thing is im not sure coaches feel the same way, we were afraid to run against the argos, and Collaros looked very nervous in the pocket. Personally I think we need to upgrade at least one position on oline

Not surprised.

Unfortunate but yes it was expected. I wonder how much he got although I think money was only part of the issue.

Money better have been a huge part.

Reports are 1 year, near $230k... yeah no.

Guessing it would have taken more than $230k to keep him here, but for the Elks, its worth it for marketing alone.  They will make that back easily in seats sold and jerseys.  And they aren't going to push the upper end of the $SMS with Tre not making near the normal QB salary...

I believe it. They need to fill seats in Edm and this is nice story that might help them.
