Jeff Saturday was a great addition but he does nothing to address the long-term needs at center. Mississippi State's Quentin Saulsberry is the Packers' kind of lineman, with starts at four positions during his career.

Jeff Saturday is without doubt my favorite Colt. His everyman story of struggling just to make in the NFL is inspiring. He's a good man, a father and clearly a man on great character. He's also been one whale of an offensive lineman and a leader to boot.
Nate Dunlevy tackles the tough question about Jeff's credentials for the Hall of Fame in his tweet bag:
A: Great...

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- For a general manager like Ted Thompson, these are the types of days to look forward to.
On Monday, the NFL awarded the Green Bay Packers four compensatory draft choices. For Thompson, who has built the current Packers' roster almost entirely through the draft, this means four more opportunities to build upon a 15-1 team last season that is also just one...

In his first year as Green Bay Packers General Manager (2006), Ted Thompson grabbed Charles Woodson and Ryan Pickett via free agency. Neither appeared to be a stud at the time—the Oakland Raiders thought Woodson was breaking down—but adding two starters to a team that had gone 4-12 was a step in the right direction.
In the five years that followed, Thompson’s free agents were...

Jeff Saturday joined Peyton Manning and many other former Colts to have left the rebuilding franchise. A couple of days ago, the Pro Bowl center called Manning about his decision to sign with the Green Bay Packers. Saturday told Manning that heading to Green Bay would have been a better fit for him than joining him in Denver with the Broncos. "Peyton is a close friend and...

ESPN Milwaukee is reporting that Anthony Hargrove is headed to Green Bay. Hargrove’s Tweet:
Play with Pickett when he was a Ram. Going to be great playing with him again…
The 272-lb. defensive end may seem too small for the position in a 3-4, but generally if a player has success at both end and tackle in a 4-3 they can handle the end responsibilities in a 3-4. When he earned...

I can't really take credit for that headline concept (darn it!). That was more or less an ESPN line. Something to the effect that "Jeff Saturday signed Friday to play Sunday." Well done, es-pen, well done indeed.Anyway, the point of all the above is that veteran, venerable, free agent center Jeff Saturday was signed by the Green Bay Packers yesterday. He will replace...

Surviving Sundays With No Packers Football
The Packers signed free agent center Jeff Saturday this week to replace the departed Scott Wells. Yes, I said the Packers signed a free agent. A free agent that I actually heard of, nonetheless.
I wasn’t sure how I was supposed to react to this occasion. It’s been a while since Ted Thompson blew the dust off the checkbook he uses...

The signing of Jeff Saturday doesn't mean the Packers don't need a center, and four-year Ohio State starter Michael Brewster is one of the best in the draft.

Former Saint has already been suspended twice by the league
Unable to sign a proven pass rusher in free agency and unwilling to rely on the likes of Erik Walden and Jarius Wynn for another season, the normally conservative Ted Thompson now appears willing to go the unconventional route in an effort to improve what was his team’s Achilles’ heel in 2011. What other explanation...
NC State's Markus Kuhn, who was born in Germany, has the size, athletic ability and love of the game to appeal to the Packers, who needed a defensive end before Mike Neal's suspension. Kuhn, who will 26 in May, is one of the most underrated players in the draft and is a midround prospect.

For starters, according to Jeff Saturday's agent, the contract he signed with the Packers is a two-year deal. This was a smart move by Packer General Manager Ted Thompson, who gives himself some long-term flexibility by signing Saturday for two seasons...
