I'm not sure how much Saturday has left in the tank, but I do know that he'll make an immediate impact in the locker room and that he's a very cerebral center so blitz pickups and protection calls won't be an issue.

He shores up the calls on the offensive line.. something that Wells finally had down with a static group in inside. This is the value he brings.. and hopefully will have a student to teach via the draft or UDFA route.

He's a damn Center, just how much running will he have to do? The older the Center, the smarter and wiser if you ask me. Tackles and Guards run on the pulls right, not a Center? I'm asking, cuz I don't know. I just don't think Centers move all that much outside of a five yard radius.

All I'm saying is, the age is not a bad thing, it's a good thing on the Packers team, which btw has several "green" players on it. A seasoned veteran will only help their progress. I see the age as a positive, not negative.

It is not a single game thing.. it is the wear over the course of a season.. trying to get the body to recover from Sunday in time to practice again or play again the next Sunday.

I look back to what I could do at 20.. then 25.. then 30.. someplace right around the mid 30's by body just started to break down and I could do that same things.. but paid for it dearly for a couple of days.

Aging.. it sucks.

These are the kind of signings needed. He's a bit better than Wells in the run blocking. Usually speed goes with age but that's not really what his position is about. He needs to be strong durable and smart. He's been durable playing on turf most of his career..Might do him some good to get playing on some grass.

Wait a minute, i thought the Packers were all about "Staying Young"?

Jeff Saturday's better days are behind him, anyone have contract #'s ?

Who here really thinks The Packers are better off with Saturday than Wells?

First time in a long time i am questioning Ted's decision making.

As always, only time will tell.

Saturday has played all 16 games in 6 out of the past 7 seasons, missing only 4 games during that span. His durability will be welcome on this squad as the Packers look for their future at center.

I don't remember Scott Wells missing any games since becoming starting Center,he is much younger than Saturday, and let's not forget the fact that scott Wells and Aaron Rodgers worked together the last 3 years.

I know some of you don't think chemistry has anything to do with a team being successful, but remember familiarity breeds success.

Hopefully Rodgers and Saturday can get on the same page really quick.

I think he got a two year deal for around $8 bones, which is much cheaper than a disgruntled Scottie Wells. Now we can draft a center in the mid rounds instead of one of the higher rounds. I don't have much of a problem with this, if the rookie is a bigger guy and intelligent. I think we all agreed that Saturday would be a stop gap player when he visited last weekend.

Saturday was one hell of a center in his prime. Who knows? Maybe he'll teach our o-lineman coach how to teach our o-linemen to friggin' block!!??
