If so then would you try to trade Braxton or keep him for depth?

We actually don't even know for sure if Braxton will be ready to go the beginning of the year right?
Yeah I don’t think he has any trade value with his injury.

Yes he played Center for LAR, but was t good there.

That would be kinda weird. Seems like RG would make the most sense but idk. I’ve always hated playing OL players out of their natural positions
Jackson at RG and Thuney at LG makes the most sense.

I wonder if Poles really goes after Dalman now at center. Thuney/Jackson are big upgrades and sizable chunks of money as well. Are we certain that Poles doesn't think Bates can be the center after this stem cell treatment on his shoulder?

Yeah it's a good question. I would guess that one or both of those players get an extension to lower those caps hits this year.

Bears still need to swing for a DE in FA...

That is exactly what will happen. Jackson was the RG for Detroit for those first 3 years, LA signed him and wanted to convert him to Center and then in his 2nd game he broke scapula so its more a freak injury than some kind of chronic issue like Bateman.
