Wow this is a surprise. I would have though Saturday would sign with the Broncos in Denver and rejoin Peyton Manning, but I guess I can see why he went to Green Bay. After all, they did recently win a Super Bowl and they do have a gaping hole at center. The Packers are getting Saturday for 8 million over 2 years and I’m assuming only one of those years is guaranteed.

He’s still a great player who ranked 5th on ProFootballFocus last season and he’s a much safer option for the Packers than an unproven rookie or unproven career backup Evan Dietrich-Smith. Scott Wells ranked 4^th last season so unless Saturday declines, they probably won’t notice much of a difference and he’s a lot cheaper than Wells (4 years 24 million), though Wells is much younger. I definitely understand why the Packers did this.
