Depth is nice but we probably can't keep more than 10-11 linemen between the roster and the practice squad. This just makes it harder for someone like Spencer or Frye to make the team.
At least they signed him to a more cap-friendly figure than the old contract.

I didn't think his previous cap hit was "unfriendly"...he wasn't one of the better paid players but he was probably the best lineman on the team two years ago and last year he had all kinds of issues but wasn't playing poorly and is a good athlete for a 300 pounder (Weary is 308).
