Assuming whatever kept him out at the end of the year is a nonfactor in 2025 can Smith's contract be reworked and move him to right guard? He had decent scores as a run blocker and could tranlate better as a run & pass blocker from the interior. Running the ball inside consistently and stopping inside pressure would go a long way to getting the best out of AR.
Fries could come back healthy and ready to play and that isn't bad for competition or depth.
Kelly to me is the one to go. His run blocking was pretty poor last year and believe Bortolini will develop quickly.
