I don't know if EDS is ready to step up and fill the role or not, but I don't believe the sky will be falling if we lose Wells to free agency either. Unfortunately we simply cannot keep everyone and give everyone what they want.   Besides, Wells isn't even in the core 5 or 6 players that you build your team around for the next 5-10 years. Rodgers, Jennings, Matthews, Bulaga and Sitton are, to me, the 5 most important pieces on our team. You could also make a case of throwing Jordy and Tramon's names in there as players you should plan on keeping for the next 5 years or more, but that's about it.  And while I don't expect us to be active in free agency unless it makes sense, I do get the feeling based on several articles I've read that there will be a lot of centers that hit the market. Put another way, the market may become saturated at that position, which means we could very well retain Wells at a more friendly deal.  Regardless, it won't be the end of the world. Yes the O-Line will take a step back for a while, but we'll adjust, like we always do.</blockquote>
