[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 824220, member: 12283"] I'm conflicted on the Turner signing. He's versatile and was OK last season. Hear tell, he's a fit with the scheme, and certainly the staff will want guys who can smooth the transition to this offense. Interior OL was and is a need. All that said, it seems odd that they paid up for him. In terms of avg. annual salary, he's tied for 20th among guards. Now obviously you have to factor that his deal is brand new (under a higher cap than virtually all other existing contracts), that many starting guards are still on rookie deals, and that he offers some tackle versatility. However, even with all of that said, it seems like a lot to pay a guy who has basically been a backup. The thing I like the least about it is how backloaded it is. The Packers really can't get out of it until 2022, and even then it would accrue over 2M in dead cap space. So if they got him wrong, they're stuck with him for a while. [/QUOTE]
