I'd go along with Barrett's scenario, invite him in to camp, offer him a good salary if he makes it through training camp.
There are definitely references out there saying he has lost a step and has not pass protected as well as he used to, but run blocking is still considered top notch.
on the math/statistics -
Texans passed 60% of their 1062 plays which is 637 plays you can get sacked on. overall Texans allowed 25 sacks and Studdard allowed 5 of these.
so Studdard allowed 637/5 or 1 sack every 127 pass plays, not bad.
Jets passed on 42% of 1047 plays which is 439 pass plays. overall Jets allowed 30 sacks and Faneca allowed 7 of those. so Faneca allowed 439/7 or 1 sack every 62 pass plays.
if you were to compare the 2009 numbers - Faneca allowed more than double the sacks as Studdard per pass play.
if we are a passing team first, might not be such a great idea.
