I saw that Thomas Welch was released today by Philly. As many know he was on our practice squad last year around Thanksgiving, until being signed off the PS by St.Louis.
We originally drafted him, although I believe it may have been to be a guard, as St.Louis and Philly both used him as a tackle.
There's about a zero chance that he'd be 'the guy' that we would like to see step up as an OT, nor would he ever make the roster, but there may be a chance that he could be a developmental PS player again under Scharneccia.
I still think that another veteran OT may be signed in the next week or so, in the hopes of giving them a shot as a potential backup role.
I'm not familiar with all of Welch's intangibles as a potential tackle here.
