I'm thinking along the same lines. It's difficult as a fan to really know the hard stuff. Our team is is dire need on defense. Ted Thompson has to make hard decisions on that side of the ball and by now evidence of those hard decisions (as they are or not) is still inside of his head. As fans we could better understand it all if we could see into the future but for now we need to be simply patient.

The first rule of being 'a fair to yourself NFL fan' is to realize that in pro Sports today there is 'NO LOYALTY'. Every man makes his own best deal and if he's smart that Pro plays it unemotionally by hiring an agent to get him the best money for his best welfare and future.

Wait a sec, first you're lamenting that we're losing Wells in FA and that TT shouldn't let it happen. Now you're agreeing with Wist that we never should have thought twice about letting him go? Pick an argument and stick with it.

I think with wells we had a top 5 oline, especially for pass blocking. Without him i just don't know. Center is one of the least appreciated positions in all of football, and they need to know there assignments and blocking calls. I don't know if the system Meyers knows is similar to ours, but he could have a steep learning curve (assuming we get him), and who else out there really looks appealing? I have heard we have a complex blocking system. . .

For having picked a new team, the guy sure is beating around the bush.

Well said, at least someone here gets it. Most of you have no clue how tough it is to replace a quality center.

On one hand, Wells was not dominate in any phase of the game. On the other hand, even one weak link on the O-line can make the entire offense sputter.

Most of us also do not know how tough it is to manage a salary cap over both the short and long term. Most of us can scream "re-sign Wells!" and then complain when Jennings or Matthews leaves via free-agency because the Pack doesn't have enough cap room to re-sign them thanks to contracts like Wells's.

No kidding. If indeed he has a new home how come he hasn't signed? Maybe he's finding out he isn't in as big a demand as he hoped?

[denverYooper]

Word on the skreet is that he's meeting with Tennessee and would really like to play in the land of his birth.

Chris Meyers is also meeting with TN.

That is a very interesting take on the situation.

I would like to respond in kind,

Finf the sentence where I say we should NOT let Scott Wells go. Find it ! If you find it ...rebut it.

Now find the sentence where I say TT should never have thought twice about letting Scott Wells go. Find it ! If you find it agree with it or rebut it please.

Now please read the following statement again:

Do you find anything in this statement above that you disagree with? If so rebut it or not. I'm just a Packer fan that's I assume alot like you. Trying to understand isues as they come up without all the details. Trying to make a positive contribution overall to this forum.

Do I attack you? If I have. Inform the forum of such instance (s). If you can't do that please don't cause any issue with me as that will get you nowhere man. I try my best to make a positive contribution here at Packerrats and even go so far with that to try to respect you. I request the same respect.

The market isn't exactly going bananas for Wells. Meyers being in the mix is probably hurting his value also: for a team like TN, given a similar ballpark for signing either, I'd have to think they'd probably take Meyers. Just a guess, but I'd think Wells would have to take Green Bay money to play in Tennessee.

Or maybe he would give the Titans the hometown discount because it's his home state.

At any rate, I think Wells might be finding that he's not going to make the kind of coin he had expected.

[woodbuck27]

We have to assume that TT has an offer to Scott Wells that stands today. Scott Wells as a FA has decided to look around for a better offer. He may then bring that back to Ted Thompson. As Packer fans we can 'only' guess as to what is really happening in terms of Scott Wells future. I believe that Ted Thompson is very interested in what Scott Wells decides.
