I'm also curious. So far you've already pointed out that a trade for a good vet is super expensive as evidenced by the Orlando Brown trade. You've noted that LT's come in 1st and they don't have one of those next year. If you're now dismissing the free agent route (assuming they got lucky and one was available), if you had to guess, what way do you think they will solve the 2022 LT issue?

I can only speculate.

Speculation 1. It could be that they like Noteboom, though I hope not. I don't see him improving as a run blocker.

Speculation 2. They could trade up in the 2022 draft. 1st round. They have the ammunition to do it. This is the scenario that is the least costly BUT it means they start a rookie at LOT.

Speculation 3. They could luck out, and either there's a guy in free agency or someone to trade for. (I keep saying they can't count on this but at the same time we can't just rule it out.) A trade would probably cost them their 2023 1st round pick (at least that and probably more). This route means they have to spend something in the 20 M range. A contract like Donald's.
