Possibly the most brilliant thing about this move is that Saturday's age exempts him from the compensatory pick formula.

Lets TT draft a guy in the late rounds, a developmental type project.

It will be interesting to see Saturday's contract next to Wells' contract.
This probably wasn't about the money for Saturday, it was more about "one last shot at a ring" and Denver's interest in him was lukewarm.Originally Posted by sharpe1027

Here's my take. You bring in a veteran leader and very intelligent guy. You can probably get 1-2 years out of him if not a 3rd year. You can now draft a guy somewhere that you liked and didn't have to extend to get, develop him, let him learn from Saturday, and you plug him in when Saturday is done.

He's the free agent version of Clifton the last couple years.
Called this a month ago.... do I get a prize?
whew!
just our praise.
This just in : Robinson Crusoe will sign Friday tomorrow.
Who Knows? The Shadow knows!
Kevin Seifert (espn) Sorry I'm a bit late weighing in on the Green Bay Packers' agreement with free-agent center Jeff Saturday. For some reason, there were pigs flying past my office window. I went outside to get a better look, and found a four-leaf clover in the yard. Then I glanced up to the sky and could have sworn I saw a cow jumping over the moon.
Do not adjust your reading glasses. This is not one of my legendary typos. The Packers did in fact sign an unrestricted free agent, their first in three offseasons...
Your White blood shines through!
Great move by TT.
Well, we had to do something and old Jeff is that something.
ND's post sums up the situation.
Now let's lose all the Saturday/Friday jokes.
Guy's only been on the team a few hours and I'm sick of 'em already.
on Monday.

TT's last FA signing was Duke Preston, another burned-out old Center.
TT personnel trend?
THIRD BASE!
