Tom Silverstein #Packers lose their first free agent. C Evan Dietrich-Smith is signing with Tampa Bay, according to an NFL source.

Well at least there's hope that someone at the C position can hold their ground cause that wasn't EDS.

Damn dude. I was just about to post it.

Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 4m

The #Bucs agreed to terms with G/C Evan Dietrich-Smith, they announced. Source says it’s a 4-year deal worth $14.25M overall.

Goodbye, Erectile Dysfunction-Smith.

This suggests the Pack likes Tretter, and will scrounge up another late round/UFA former small school tackle whom they will convert.

Hope Aaron Rodgers isn't mad that he doesn't have EDS. I can't see how he or any guy would be.

[Brandon494]

Honestly I'd rather have Tretter then EDS, if he can stay healthy I think he'll be an upgrade.

Bulaga back at LT, Bakh moves to guard? Lang and Tretter battle it out for starting C job? Or Bulaga back to RT?

i wouldn't want to move bakh to guard, he needs to be one starting center. barclay is a backup imo

and i honestly have no clue which guy should be LT and which guy should be RT

wish we could have seen abit more of bulaga at LT

i would think, bahk should stay at LT and move bulaga back to where he's always played

Yep. Bulaga should be at RT. If he gets hurt again, you have an experienced guy in Barclay to take over. Let Bakh and Sherrod battle at LT.

I'm glad they let EDS go. He was JAG. If Tretter is the player they hope he is, perhaps Arod can finally have some continuity at Center.

I liked EDS but paying him keeps Tretter on the bench and Tretter can be a difference maker. Guy is just as mean as EDS but bigger, faster, and much much smarter.

[Bretsky]

EDS is not worth that money in our system

[Bretsky]

We can save the money and spend it on a safety

[woodbuck27]

How do I feel about this!?

Of course I hoped the bleeding at Center would stop. I hoped that TT might retain E D-S inspite of much Packerrat opposition to that. why is it that if any Packer is appearing close to being let go he's a bum !?Tampa Bay must be judged not smart to sign our OL zero. A player not even considered as a LG..RG..C ( backup )....or for our OL depth.

TT bounces another center and of course because that happens Green Bay Packer fans are glad he's gone...E D-S was next to useless. The status quo reigns supreme on this loss in FA. So where are we @ center Wells >>>Saturday>>>Evan Dierich - Smith and now who? An NFL inexperienced.............. Cornell " really smart guy " ...J C Tretter ...wonderful. We're sure that's the right move why? He has how much NFL experience...experience as an NFLO center?

I'm guessing that E D-S's versatility on the OL didn't factor in!? I'm guessing that the Packers Developmental Program left much to be desired with Evan Dietrich-smith @ center.

On the plus side for E D-S. Obviously he gets decent money at and average of $3.5625 Million$ avg. for four (4) years which is good for a center on his first dip into Free Agency. E D-S changes Bay teams. The weather will be nice in Tampa Bay...as will be the golf.

Bye Bye Evan Dietrich - Smith and Good Luck on your new Bay team.

[Bretsky]

Like BJ Raji, I don't think EDS wanted to come back to Green Bay. But somebody was willing to pay EDS

Maybe next off season we'll see TT get that done.

I can't wait for the 2014 season to begin.

Another new Center ...Ohh Boy !

this time we have "a SMART Center". That seems good.

Does a smart center stay longer than all MM and the OL coach had to deal with?

We'll see !
