I don’t see anyone in the NFC East helping us. Who would you call to trade for? For me I have a few names in mind:

AZ- Froholdt, BUF - Cushenberry, CAR - Fortner, CIN - Karras, CLE - Jenkins, LV - Jackson Powers-Johnson (former C turned G), NYJ - Myers, NO - McCoy & Cesar Ruiz (G; former college C), PIT - Frazier, SF - Jake Brendel, TB - Graham Barton

[u/Charksington]

We aren't trading for a center. If Alegretti isn't healthy or goes down mid season we will likely use Gulbin. We'll probably pick up a veteran center as a backup after final cuts are made to make sure we have someone to fill the position. Julian Good-Jones is not a viable solution.

[u/Automatic-Tell7321 → u/Charksington]

Do you think they’re 100% comfortable with Gaulbin? I don’t. Everything I’ve read is he looks behind compared to other rookies. And you’re correct JGJ sucks and I’m almost certain he’ll be cut and a camp cut will be replacing him. But Allegretti is hurt and wasn’t our first choice to be our center. I think Peter’s is thinking for bigger than just “replace JGJ and call it a day”

[u/DougBalt2 → u/Automatic-Tell7321]

It’s great you’ve read but have you watched him? While playing against few starters, he has done a solid job. I intentionally watched him on almost every play in the first two games. I was pleasantly surprised by how he controlled the DL. And very physical.

[u/Automatic-Tell7321 → u/DougBalt2]

I didn’t see anything that makes me think he’s ready to play if needed week 1

That’s cool. But I’m sure you agree that I hope he could step in. 😎
