Scout.com: Locklear Triggers Pay Increase

he better step up NOW or get cut. THIS is why we should have snagged another OT to challenge for RT :emoticon-0158-time:

Can Willis play RT?

 

[EricOV]

Willis is listed as G. on seahawks.com but i believe he played RT in college.

Not just on the team. Overpaid, overrated period. He's the 4th highest paid tackle in the NFL, in terms of base salary. Absurd.

He is definitely overpaid and overrated, but is a solid RT. He cannot play LT in my opinion, but with Okung on the left side Locklear is a very solid RT. I agree, he does need to take a huge pay cut though because it is ridiculous how much he is making.

Biggest problem with Locklear is he can't stay healthy. He is always hurt, and that lack of continuety is what hurts our offensive line. If Willis can play RT, I say try him out and move Unger to RG and either restructure Locklears contract and keep him for depth or just cut him.

I won't speak to his salary - being overpayed in the NFL is very relative. However... he is one of the best RTs in the league. Not so serviceable on the left side, but it was Lock and Willis anchoring that right side when everyone raved about our O Line. He's a stud over there. As for Willis playing RT - he was our RT all last year. He was OK, but he is so much better at RG. Other OGs - Unger, Spencer (one at C), Hamilton, Gibson, Wrotto, Vallos... we have some solid starters and at least two backups that will push very hard for a starting spot. And maybe Gibbs will get Spenc to his potential!

All that said... why didn't we grab Tony Washington in the 7th round??? I would have loved to have him to see what he could become.

 

[SeaHawksHuddle]

Tony Washington is still available. And there's a reason. Use Google.

Dude, as jacked up as what he did was, he was lonly ike 16. He came from a very messed up family. Since then he's found God, and has been a completely changed person.

Don't hold something against him that he commited when he was a kid.

Yeah, probably cost him a draft pick... but where's the risk in giving him a shot as a FA?

 

[SeaHawksHuddle]

I'm not judging him. I'm saying there's a reason teams are not lining up at this guy's door.

 

[SeahawkWag]

Imagine what that guy went thru in college and what the D-lineman probably said during the game.

You meant Chris Gray right? Willis did play and looked decent at RT but Locklear is the man. But he didnt perform well at LT.

This year our line will be greatly improved.
