On the surface, this makes a ton of sense.
1. Feiler is essentially a sunk cost. (Sunk cost can have a negative connotation, and I don't intend for that. He was a great signing and a check mark in the don't fire Tom Telesco column.) He's gonna get paid the same if he plays LG or RT next. A RT will likely cost more in terms of free agency or draft capital than a LG.
2. There is some evidence that Fieler was a better RT in Pittsburgh than he was LG.
The thing that concerns me is the idea of the left side of the line being a unit, and that unit was awesome. I worry that we may struggle to replicate the excellence that we had on the left side. I'm not saying I'm vehemently against moving Feiler, just that this is a concern.
