Scott Wells and Packers trying to work a deal

According to sources, the Packers aren't any closer in their ongoing talks with center Scott Wells.
At this point, Wells is seeking significantly more money than the Packers want to pay him. There's more than enough time for a compromise to be reached before the March 13 start of the unrestricted signing period. If not, Wells very well might test the market knowing the Packers would want him back.
On Friday, coach Mike McCarthy called Wells the team's best and most consistent offensive lineman this season as well as last season. He probably should have made the Pro Bowl a year ago and would appear to be the odds-on favorite to be the NFC starter this season.

"I'd love to have Scott back," said McCarthy. "Scott's representatives and our guys need to get to whatever that price is. I don't think coaches should do the money. If I was in charge of the money, we'd have been out of money a long time ago."

Ha! I like that quote from McCarthy. "If I was in charge of the money, we'd have been out of money a long time ago." hahaha. He's right, and Wells has played very well all last year and this year. We'll get him locked up.

Lock the guy up, Oline most important position on offense.

One of the positives of the Sherman era finding this guy in the 7th round..

Wells is one of the two most underrated guys on the team (Bishop being the other). Scott Wells has plenty of good years left and is playing the best ball of his career. Pay the man.

Under-rated.

Yeah, pay Wells before he allows anymore linebackers free access up the middle.

Whoops, that's what I meant. Good catch.

Ha, yeah, not his best showing this past weekend. That was true for a lot of our guys :-/ Hope they got it out of their systems!
