Packers looking for a new starter at Center

March 17, 2012 By Bill Scott

The Green Bay Packers are looking for a new starting center after Pro Bowler Scott Wells agreed to a reported 4-year deal with the St.

Scott Wells

Louis Rams worth $24-million, including $13-million in guaranteed money.

Wells had been with the Packers for 8 seasons, 7 of them as a starter and he turned into their most reliable offensive lineman.  But after the Packers failed to negotiate or offer him a contract extension this past season, Wells was looking forward to his day as an unrestricted free agent.

Wells was a 7th round pick by the Packers in 2004 out of Tennessee.

His departure leaves the Packers with Evan Dietrick-Smith and 2011 practice squad player Sampson Genus as possibilities to replace Wells.  They could still sign a free agent center, move somebody else into that spot or draft Wells eventual replacement.
