Osemele is a guard, and played 4 games at LT last season, and did well.
Word is he wants OT money, which is to be expected. I think he came up as a right tackle, then played LG. I think his plan is to sell himself as a left tackle, and go after 12 mill a year, rather than 8 mill a year. He's one of those guys that every teams' fan base is planning on signing in free agency. The Raider board I frequent, is all about him. Thinking is, if he can't play LT, we can move him to RG. I think there's all kinds of things wrong with that thinking, personally.
I doubt the team feels nearly as badly about Watson and Howard as the fans. Watson looked very good by all accounts before the injury, he just got hurt again.
I would not be surprised if we line up with Penn/Gabe/Hudson/Howard/Watson this summer.
