Right Tackle:

Starter: J’Marcus Webb

Webb is going into his 7th season in the NFL and signed with the Seahawks during free agency this offseason.  He is a big guy at 6-7 and 331 pounds, and, with Ifedi at right guard, these two players would provide an intimidating right side of the line.  Webb played both right guard and right tackle last season, and his versatility will come in handy

Roster Cut: Terry Poole

Poole didn’t look very impressive during training camp last season, and he will have to come to camp much improved in order to make the team.  After his disappointing training camp, Poole unfortunately suffered an injury and was put on injured reserve.  He will have to prove himself quickly during OTAs and training camp this year.

The offensive line competition is going to be heated during camp, and that might be exactly what this group needs.  Last year during training camp the competition was lacking, but this season the coaches are going to have a really tough time deciding which players on the offensive line make the team. Look for the players to step up and make big improvements across the offensive line during the 2016 season.
