Packers, Wells, LIKELY to PART WAYS

[Brandon494]

Funny how everyone thought Finley would be he one who would demand a huge contract and be hard to resign.

You don't pay your center like an OT in this offense. And that is not even considering he's 31. I'd be fine with guys like Saturday or Birk and there are plenty of others who are very capable.

I wouldn't mind signing Jeff Saturday to a one year deal if we can't get a deal done with Wells.

Doesn't seem to be in TT's MO to sign a stopgap as a starter. If he doesn't sign Wells, Wells' replacement will likely be younger than Wells.

A good point. But Wells does have one more source of motivation: this will be his only big contract.

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.

I'd love to know if OTHER teams would be willing to pay Wells his $7.5M a year. If not, he'll be back at $5M.

I like Wells, I hope he stays, but I can't see him getting 7.5 mil a year. He's good, but I just don't see that much for that position.

I expected more chatter on this site about this. Mostly because I don't know which opinion I should have yet.

IMO Myers is better than Wells

Think that might have something to do with him not really being able to demand a big contract? You think if he had 1200 yds and 12 tds he would have signed that shiznit???

What do he suppose to do?

Stupid question, but I'll ask. So, I guess Myers will be a FA come March 13th?

Everyone? Don't sell yourself short there, guy. Just give yourself a big ole pat on the back!
