Obviously. The fact that he signed Wells to a 5 year extension in the middle of one season, paying him top 10 money for centers at the time, showed a blatant disdain for the position. So did taking one of his infrequent forays into TRUE free agency (not that fake free agency, like signing Peppers, Guion, House, Kendrick, etc.) and signing a three time All-Pro, six time Pro Bowler to the second highest OL salary on the team for the season.

Clearly, he sees no value in centers.

BTW - in my opinion his decisions to let Wells and EDS (now just "ES") walk were correct ones. Wells was washed up just two seasons later (although he played a third, but reportedly from St Louis very poorly) and was released and out of the league. ES is now a backup guard with 7 starts in the last two seasons. Neither was worth an expensive, long term deal.
