Posted by Mike Wilkening on May 27, 2015, 10:59 AM EDT Washington is parting ways with its starting right guard. The club will release Chris Chester, ESPN’s Adam Caplan reported Wednesday. The 32-year-old Chester has started 64 straight regular season games for Washington. Overall, he has started 111-of-137 contests since entering the NFL with Baltimore in 2006. Chester was set to make $3.5 million in salary in 2015, per NFLPA data. Second-year pro Spencer Long could be among the options to replace Chester at right guard. A Nebraska product, Long was a third-round pick of Washington in 2014, and he was listed as the top backup to Chester as a rookie. He's kinds old but has a lot of experience and could be a good back up measure.
Would like to know more about him, and think he may be worth a look. Salary could get in the way. Phins may not want to bring him in now, but fitst give Thomas and Turner enough snaps and practices to see if we can get by with cheaper guards. I feel like a significant vet will be a late July or August addition at this point (unless a bargain drops into our laps). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
