“He’s always been athletic and strong; he just wasn’t able to have the mental part of the game down four years ago or whatever it was,” left guard Josh Sitton said. “And these past two years, he’s taken over mentally and taken over the whole mental part of the thing for the offensive line.“Now, when I have a question about another team, I go and ask Evan. It’s his job as a center to be right 100 percent of the time and always know what the other team is doing, and he’s done that.”

Given that GB has absolutely no proven players behind him, I think the decision on EDS has shifted from whether GB will try to retain him, to how much are they willing to spend.  While I think TT is willing to head into next years TC with just Tretter and whoever else (Barclay? GVR? UFA?) competing at C, I expect he would MUCH rather have EDS locked up.  I think TT draws the line somewhere between 3-4M per year.

Three years at a bit more than average starting center money. As long as Rodgers is comfortable with EDS and EDS keeps Rodgers upright, I don't think TT would let him walk for nothing. And from the comments of Sitton, it seems everyone is more comfortable with EDS than in the past. It would be interesting to know if Rodgers works with any other guys at center (GVR, Tretter) and what he thinks of them, you know, butt height and all...
