If he's part of a trade it could be for a OG. A decent OG would go a long way in resolving the OL problems.
Skura for all his warts as a C at least has the experience to make OL calls and should be an improvement over Kolone. Jackson has proven he's a decent OG but he's better as an OT. Aboushi is a backup-level OG but could start at RG. They need a LG for the long term. Moving Jackson back to swing OT gives them flexibility if Noteboom is still playing hurt like he looks to be. With Brown, Henderson, and Williams who should be able to play after the bye, those 3 could hold down the fort at RB for the rest of the season.
IMO OG is a more pressing need now and in the long term.
There is no question in my mind that Akers hasn't looked the same since his injury. His burst is gone and IMO it's why he hasn't taken those holes because physically he might not be able to do so. I think regardless of the immediate, he's gone next year. If they can get something for him they should.
I knew it was a big mistake to let Michel walk. They should make a trade with the Chargers to get him back. This team needs a grinder and Michel was that. They miss his 4-7 yard runs. His runs forced defenses to honor the run when he was in. He was a grinding chain mover and that is exactly what this team needs.
