IMO, this signing has little to do w/ the decision on Wills assuming he gets the option picked up. The FO has a decision with Pocic, heading into FA, and Harris with one year left on his rookie deal. Do you extend Pocic or go back to the guy you slotted in as the starter (presumably beating out Pocic) and is three years younger (24)? A guy who has no really tape starting in the NFL? The comp pick angle for Pocic is interesting.
I was curious to see what Harris had, but he is an unknown. I think this FO has prioritized OL as an investment that clearly has a positive affect on the both the running game and passing game. That's not groundbreaking or anything but I think they are willing to commit extensive resources to the position group over others. I'm perfectly fine with that.
I also don't get this Bitonio move to LT discussion. He is an elite LG. Let him continue being elite there. Didn't we try this experiment out a few years back? I recall him 'not being bad' but a far better Guard.
