OC Chris Myers Re-Signed

[Arky]

Gah, that's a lot of money for a center, but oh well.... They need to draft his replacement this year - perhaps a C or C/G in the 2nd or 3rd round.. give him a couple of years to get groomed and then bring him in... Myers needs a good backup, anyway..

edit: jcp said kinda the same thing I did.... that'll teach me not to watch the NBA while posting...

Stl just gave 31 year old Scott wells an identical contract. That's 2012 nfl economics. Salaries are sky rocketing while the cap stays the same.

Great news we were able to keep Meyers for sure. Lots of crazy money out there in FA this years as well as lots of FA. Curious abouyt draft and how we will look in August now.

I agree. Myers would have been near to impossible to replace this coming season. Rashad Butler can replace Eric Winston at RT, and Caldwell can replace Briesel at RG, but there just was not a viable OC.
