Whitworth worked well for Rams...I believe Eagles traded for Peters even though he was hurt
Cordy Glenn, Dwayne Brown, Okung, Riley Reiff were all recent free agents ranked top 20 LTs
Yeah it's a few more than I assumed---the last couple of years have changed this a bit. But there are still issues with this. For example the Bengals signed Glenn to make up for losing Whitworth. There's a lesson there, about why LOTs generally don't become FAs.
Brown was a trade btw.
Of the guys we're discussing, and to toss in Solder from this year and Kalil from last year, the contracts involved according to annual avg. are 15.5 M, 13.2 M, 12 M, 11.7 M, 11.2 M, and 11.1 M.
By next year they ought to be around 13-15 M on average, if there are any FAs at LOT.
By my quick count, 22 of the teams in the league start the LOT they drafted, no matter how long ago.
