If the money is right this is a no brainer. And as long as no long term committment is required in the form of gauranteed money counting towards future years, I would even pay him well this year.
The beauty of the NFL is that you send them all to training camp and let them determine who the best player is. Just like when we signed Roosevelt Colvin a few years ago. As long as you are not putting a long term committment out there you always bring in the vet. Then you hope the young guys are good enough to beat him out, and if they aren't you have improved your team.
The Ahman Green signing was far different in that it was early in FA and it falsely convinced the Texans they could stand pat at RB through the remainder of FA and the draft. This signing would come after all of our moves and it didn't keep us from making other moves at guard.
