Packers, Wells, LIKELY to PART WAYS

[Fritz]

When you look at the players whose contracts are up in the next few years, it becomes more understandable as to why TT is not eager to throw 5 - 7 mill a year to Scott Wells.

Starting in 2014 however, TV revenue will go from the current 1.94 billion to 3.1 billion. I'm assuming that will result in a rather substantial increase in the salary cap.

Doesn't it go mostly into the owners' pockets?

[hoosier]

is 74" 6'2"? Clefty always gets confused with inches and feet and how many ounces are in a cup.

I don't know about ounces and cups, but I have some experience with pints. There are three hundred pints in Scott Wells.

Well isn't he a tall drink of water!

It's about 58% to the players, to my understanding.

Not in Green Bay...

I say draft Peter Konz if he drops to us in the 2nd rd and train him to be the center for the future all I see in him is a upside I mean hes big fast and can pull like a guard he could really help our run game.

I remember similar complaints when Flanagan was allowed to leave in free agency.

Nope I never complained about Flanagan leaving. My point being, we have a crown jewel (Rodgers). So you put the best damn security around that jewel that you can, Wells IS part of that. Makes no sense to give big mouth Finley all that money if the QB can't stay on his feet to get him the ball, which in turn he'll drop anyway.

I didn't mean that you complained, but others did. We had a crown jewel back then, too; and Flanagan was a better player than Wells is, although at the time he left he was a couple years older than Wells is.

We also had a worse team with a worse cap situation. Also I think wells has been underrated until this year.

[Patler]

I like Wells, but he was awful at guard. I can't imagine them ever playing him at LT, like Flanagan did.

[Scott Campbell]

I'd rather have a Lombardi trophy than the Star of Africa.

Jason Cole says the Packers have spent part of the weekend talking to Well's agent. https://twitter.com/#!/JasonColeYaho...35870513336320

But McGinn says they have a long way to go. Bob puts some meat on the bones of his earlier report that Wells wanted big time money. http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packe...140399503.html

Bob's article was published last night, so its unclear whether he or Cole have newer information or if any new proposals have changed hands. But McGinn pegs Wells last request at $7.5 mil per year, which would place him 3rd highest among centers. He believes the Packers are offering $4-5 million.
