Rinehart

[Panama]

I am starting this thread because it annoys me to see seemingly everyone misspell Chad Rinehart's name. He's an important member of our favourite team, fer cryin' out loud, so y'all should know how to spell his name. Hell, y'all do better with Ajirotutu and single-t Mathews and just about everyone else -- not sure why Rinehart poses such difficulty. Maybe if he has his own dedicated thread, the correct spelling of his name will sink in. (Except, Stinky, you can go ahead and spell it however you want.)

Ok, so, discuss: Do we re-sign him? Get him a name change? Thoughts?

Price is going to matter. He has a very long injury history that has again been an issue this season. His contract should reflect that he's going to be a 12 game a year player. Something similar to his contract this season is well worth it. He's a bargain if he starts and a reasonably priced backup otherwise.

I am on record saying that I think the team should re-sign Rinehart (Rhineheart) for a similar price to his current contract and then draft an OG between rounds 2-4 (Larry Warford is great example). I also think they should then let Clary go (cap savings). They should also sign a lower tier either veteran or young player type like a Orhberger or Schiiling for depth.

They will then go into next season with Rinehart, Troutmann, and rookie competing for the top two spots with the loser being the #1 back-up.

The plan also doesn't tie up a lot of money into the position and allows the teams to focus that money elsewhere.

I was very pleased with the signing of Rheinhardt when it occurred. I've been very pleased with Rhineheart's play. I say we work hard to re-sign Ryn<3.

Fuck you.

I don't think you bring him back. Go younger and cheaper an hopefully healthier.

[SDFan]

move him to Safety

He's 28. Hardly over the hill. Injury prone yes. We are already paying him backup type money.

Maybe I'm in the minority but this o-line group has been pretty impressive to me (despite the injuries). I wouldn't want to break it up next year.

Rinestone is okay.

If we go into next season, I wouldn't mind seeing us stand pat with the exception of adding a rookie to backup Hardwick. C is a mental game, and I wouldn't mind the idea of allowing a young player to learn from Hardwick for a year or two.

With Harris coming back to backup at OT, we could have a pretty strong group, especially if Harris shows as much improvement in his technique as he did this past offseason. Harris has a ways to go, but he looked like a new player when he got to play.
