Pats chasing Raiders O-lineman

08:01 AM ET 05.20 | Among likely starters up front for the Pats offense, Logan Mankins, despite his franchise-tag-aided payday, probably isn't a long-term solution. Dan Koppen will be 32 in September. He is not dominant but he's the interior QB of a line that is exceedingly smart and efficient. The Patriots will miss him a lot when he's gone and that day is coming. ... Who do they chase? David Baas seems a smart choice because he has that guard-center versatility. Meanwhile, I've been hearing the team remains enamored with one-time can't-miss prospect Robert Gallery, who is now 32 and has been plagued by injuries in Oakland.

The League should investigate all of these deals the Patriots make with the Raiders, year after year.

It's like the Raiders are their Minor League team.

They're definitely somebody's minor league team, even if it's just Al Davis.

So, you're saying that the Pats need to replace Koppen, who is 32, because he's getting old, so they're looking at Gallery, who is also 32, and who has a history of injuries?

Yeah, because that picture says "Football." Better than Tebow's finger. Better than the Goofmissioner in his choir-boy getup. Better than any of the toothpaste ad shots of Brandon Marshall, Jim Harbaugh or Fat Rex. That's battlefield photography right there.

I think they are looking at Gallery to replace Stephen Neal at right guard since he retired, as for Koppen they may be looking for a developmental guy there, but doubt they are actively seeking his replacement.

Yes, but cloudy the future is. The OL and DL must Darth Hoodie rebuild if to succeed he wants. Otherwise great pain in NE I foresee.
