Stinnie and Schlottmann were both signed as undrafted free agents in 2018.
Stinnie attended James Madison University and has played for the Tennessee Titans and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, including as a member of the Bucs’ 2020 Super Bowl Championship team. According to Pro Football Focus, he allowed just two sacks on 442 pass block snaps last season.
Schlottman attended Texas Christian University and has suited up for the Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings. A versatile player who has lined up at right guard, center and left guard, Pro Football Focus indicates he has never allowed more than one sack in a season. His ability to line up in multiple spots will certainly come in handy in 2024.
Having some veterans along the offensive line will hopefully help stabilize and solidify the protective shield around Daniel Jones.
Stinnie and Schlottmann may have gone undrafted, but both are welcome additions to an offense that needs some serious help.
