Do you let Colon go, demote Winters, or both? Anyone OK with both starting again next year? I'm not familiar enough with offensive line technique to know much but I'd hate to demote Winters already.
I don't know what kind of deal Willie Colon is looking for. He was playing on a one year deal this year; would he be willing to come back under similar circumstances? If so, I'm fine with that. If he wants a multi-year deal, I'd prefer to spend more on a higher quality free agent.
Let's also not forget that our right tackle is a free agent. That worries me. Re-signing Austin Howard isn't the foregone conclusion we'd all like to believe it is. I don't know what Idzik's intentions are in regard to Howard, but I I've heard no contract extension rumors. For all I know, Idzik might feel that he can get comparable play from the tackle he drafted (Aboushi) or the tackle he traded for (Ijalana).
My long opinion short: We could certainly do better than Brick-Winters-Mangold-Colon-Howard in 2014, but we could also do much, much worse.
