Say Buh-Bye to Stacy Andrews

For a team needing offensive lineman, was letting Stacy Andrews and his repaired ACL go to the Eagles a good thing? Andrews still has to pass a physical; but, provided that happens, he'll be playing for Philly next season.
The Bengals had been trying to sign Andrews to a long-term deal for the last three years, but were unable to reach one. Andrews is projected to become the Eagles’ new right tackle. He will also join his brother, Shaun Andrews, who is an All-Pro right guard in Philadelphia.
How is this a good thing for a team that desperately needs an offensive line? Before the draft, the thinking was concentrate on the Center and LT position. Now Cincy needs help at the RT position too.
Is the upcoming draft going to be nothing but O-linemen?

compensatory
I think this has worked out well. By the Eagle way over paying Andrews, we should get a 3rd round compensatory pick in the 2010 draft

Providing you guys dont’ sign any free agents of your own that is…
Compensatory picks are awarded based what comes in and out.
If for instance you were to sign Ward for good money, you may get a very late round pick or nothing for Andrews.

Problem is now though
Forces the Bengals to change their draft strategy or consider overpaying themselves on the FA market.
The third round pick is a bonus but makes 2009 look a little more transitional.

Hang on.
Is dude’s head really that large, or was it Photoshop’d.
‘Cause if it’s that large, a) I’m surprised they make helmets to fit it and b) he’d be a decent lineman because it could block all on it’s own.

RE:
Looks like someone cropped his face out and put it on Freddie Mitchel’s body!
Makes you just want to sit at your desk and stare.

Seriously.
He doesn’t have enough neck to support a melon that big.

I still can't stop looking at this picture.
It’s mesmerizing. I have to draw it.

I purposely
Didn’t resize his head to fit McNabb’s body. It was absolutely perfect the moment I placed it there.
