Better title... "Looks like DJ Humphries is our primary backup LT."

Humphries is being paid like a backup option not as a guaranteed starter. And really, under $3 million is chump change these days in the NFL and doesn't guarantee anything. But I'm glad they have a veteran option since Alaric has proven to be a wildcard for availability his entire career.

Hell of an assumption there. Also that link goes to a picture of Kinchens

Hope he is nothing more than a backup Left Tackle. At this point, I have my doubts.

Funny.
3M for a vet LT is backup money. The position is too important. Noteboom got 10 I think.

Let’s hope that AJ is healthy. Good thing is we have a backup who has been a good starter.

Todd Kinchens? Wonder what he's up to these days.

I have my fingers crossed but I would not be shocked if Humphries doesn't start the season at tackle for us with Jackson starting on IR but my best guess - copeium? - is that he's out for TC and starts season.

 

[El Chapo Jr]

This is not good at all. I'm not real big on DJ being a plus starter. Just hoping he can hold the fort down until Jackson comes back.

Meh. Seems right given the situation. A backup tackle who has a higher chance of being needed.

This article would have been more informative;
