Is that why Saturday was benched, because he played so well? Scott wells got injured sure, but there is no saying he would have been injured had he stayed in G B. If you want to be “proud” Saturday was a Packer for 1 year, you hang your hat on that. The reality was he was a forced, over paid signing, that offered us sub par performance..And BTW….You have co clue what EDS is gonna sign for…As always Iltarion, i can always count on reading your post for a good chuckle….

There was NO WAY you were going to sink big money into the center position, especially for a guy who was not a very good run blocker. Letting Wells go was a no brainer. He is nothing special as St. Louis is already finding out.

EDS was always going to be the eventual center. Saturday was nothing but a stopgap.

Interestingly, EDS is now a free agent himself. I imagine he will sign for much less than Wells did. Advantage TT.

Props to Saturday for knowing when it is time to get out. He’s a pro’s pro and I am proud he was a Packer.

So that left free agent J Saturday….as TT’s savior….As it was reported, TT over paid for Saturday, because as i said at the time, Saturday was a “forced” signing, TT had no choice but to sign him. So in turn, Saturdays agent held the leverage. So TT signed him for 4 million….Now keep in mind, he could have kept Wells for 6 million. Wells was 31, in his prime, and a veteran with the Packers. Not to mention, Scott Wells was a warrior. Looking back…wouldn’t it be nice to have to have Wells, Lang, Sitton, and EDS to keep for depth, or competition for a starting guard spot?….Now we go into a new off season, with Newhouse, and Barclay as Tackles…Hopefully Bulaga is back 100%. But no football mind in the NFL, would consider this 0 line in good shape. And letting Wells go…didnt help it. Plus it seems to me, James Campen isnt exactly making much of a difference as 0 line coach….Lets bring someone in, coach or players, who have a clue how to run block, besides Barclay.
