Gregg Rosenthal speculates they might not be able to keep Jason Kelce. No dead money and a $6.5M cap savings. He is THE top center in the league. A mauler who can move. 31 years old. He likely has 4-5 years left. Would be expensive in FA but a huge upgrade over Richburg who has been disappointing.
To make it work, some team would have to take on Richburg's contract since he would have a $7.4M dead money hit with negligible cap savings. Not the most realistic of moves but after what Alex Mack brought to Atlanta while Kyle was there it might be tempting to put something together.

Can Richburg play guard in this scheme? It might be worth It to trade Richburg if not. Kelce is a top 5 offensive lineman.
