My main concern, besides his advanced age, is his weight. He tips the scales at a svelte 295 lbs. Seems a little light to me. Overall, I am pleased with this signing, though. I am curious to see who takes over guard duties this season. I also wonder what Aaron Rodgers thinks about this signing.

I think the signing is fine. It's a stop-gap measure, no doubt, but that's OK. I still wouldn't be surprised to see us drafting Konz if for some reason he falls to us. That might not please some, but he could likely be the best player available at that point. If not, we have a center to get us by while hopefully training our future starter for the next ten years. This signing shouldn't change the importance of looking for a starting center in the draft, it just provides some insurance and means the rookie doesn't have to start immediately.

The signing makes sense only as a stopgap. The real travesty will be if the Packers don't grab a center with one of their first three or four draft choices. This is a good group of centers at the top. I think as many as four could go in the first two rounds. Frankly, Saturday may not last the season as the starter because the Packers could draft a better player with an early draft choice. Ben Jones of Georgia immediately comes to mind.

Regardless of whether or not he plays 1 or 2 seasons this is a nice pick up.

Saturday has been the center in the most complicated yet most effective no-huddle-based offense in the NFL for more then a decade and he also is the player in charge of the players association. I don't see why anybody wouldn't like this signing.

Man, I must really care about VR cause that dumb bastard and I have been going at it for years without any sign of let up. He better have me in his will for all the free therapy I've given him.

I'm glad to hear everyone is more optimistic on this one than I am.

I just think this is a step down at a key position.

Hope I'm wrong.

dfosterf (12-May) : *Elgersma*

dfosterf (12-May) : Today would be a good day to discover the Pack signed Taylor Engersma, the Canadian QB

dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition
