Josina Anderson @josinaanderson I'm told the #Bengals are trading for #Bills OT Cordy Glenn.
So I've read but if Pace is serious about pursuing him his interest would be something he'd keep under wraps. If we don't go hard on Norwell then I have to think they really hope they can get Nelson at #8. Pugh is the next best LG but he's coming off a back injury and even though he's cleared to play back injuries with OL worry me.
Might as well insert the info that Pace signed Sowell to a two year deal as a swing OT/OG and Pugh also plays RT so if they sign him it would be to start at LG. I really hope that once he decided to let Sitton go Pace had a plan to replace him. That LG position is key and we played much better after signing Sitton than before.
I've never been a fan of getting rid of good players until you have a replacement. Not just a plan. Plans don't always work out.
That's my thinking as well. I'd like to think he does have a plan and one that isn't totally dependent on drafting Nelson. If we had the 5th or 6th pick I'd say it was almost a lock but at #8 it's not. He's ranked as a top 5 pick by some.
If the plan is to move Whitehair to OG and either sign or draft an OC or play Grasu at OC I'm not sure I like that idea at all. I want to see Pace get a top shelf LG somewhere and leave Whitehair at OC.

FYI Ben Goessling @goesslingstrib The Vikings are among the teams interested in Bears CB Bryce Callahan. Bears put right-of-first-refusal tag on Callahan; they could match an offer to him, but he would cost no draft pick compensation, and would give the Vikings another nickel corner option.
Aaron Leming @aaronlemingnfl Would expect a similar situation with Cam Meredith. Ryan Pace has done a damn good job this off-season so far, so I would imagine he's prepared to match any offers on these players (plus Fuller). #Bears

I agree. Other than the move on Sutton, Pace seems to be ok this FA. But that move could really cost us in being able to move the ball. Even if he had a plan, I would rather have seen him move Sitton after he secured his replacement
Benjamin Allbright @allbrightnfl Kirk Cousins will sign with the Vikings.
Adam Schefter @adamschefter Former Lions’ DT Haloti Ngata intends to sign a one-year deal with Eagles, per @mortreport and me.
I hope so or yet another team drafting before us (Jets) would have been out of the QB market. Denver will sign Keenum so that means they won't take a QB at #5.

I would hope he's willing to match offers. Both have shown up as core players deserving of longer term deals.
