Eh, there are several guys available that will help teams win this year.
Reiter is a good pass blocker, terrible run blocker though. I think this may be more about versatility with guard because Andrew Wylie not good at all and if Kilgore is good enough to push either Reiter or Allegretti over there that's a win. [Reply]
I don’t see how signing a veteran center who started 13 games last year can be a bad thing.
Between Kilgore, Reiter, Remmers, Osemele, Rankin and Wylie I’m sure we can find 3 solid guys. You hope the young players step up but if not you have veterans who are proven starters.
It would be nice to have 3 All Pro interior lineman but I’m not sure what people expect. We have two tackles making $12M+ per year and are paying massive deals to Pat, Kelce, Hill, Clark, Jones, Hitchens and Mathieu. It’s amazing they have been able to do what they have financially. There are just going to be some positions that have to get by with whatever is left. [Reply]

He'll be 33 years old in-season IF he makes the roster. That's not exactly a recipe for success in 2020.
Well the 49ers also reached out to him right before we signed him, so if the GMs of both the Super Bowl teams think he has something to offer, I’ll trust their judgement. He’s also been a starter for the better part of the last 6 years straight when healthy. That’s a little more than JAG.
He’s also started games at guard, so at the very least he’s a versatile interior reserve. Considering we unexpectedly lost two guys inside right as camp was starting I’d say they’ve done pretty well finding decent options to help out. [Reply]

He's not anything more than a JAG. Never has been, never will be.
Again, it never ceases to amaze me how people on CP defend the signings of over-the-hill nobodies.
This is the same mentality that existed when Pioli signed shit players like Mike Goff. "Pioli was the Executive of the Year!".
