Well, it seems like you have two options really. If it's 2013, Thomas & Long have to be getting up there in age. OL doesn't effect it too much, other than it being a stud OL & costing quite a big chunk of cap.

I would either sign Long, play him at T, move Thomas to G/C, and trade Thomas next year after franchising him or pass on Long altogether, continue to trade Thomas after next year, and try to pick up a replacement in the draft. Generally speaking I err on the side of caution with aging players & would opt to pass on Long (and his massive contract) and go for youth in the draft in 2014.
