Kampfgeist Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 13 minutes ago, Old Guy said: Not sure what that has to do with Centers? Frank Ragnow was the top paid center last year averaging 13.5 million a year. The Lions just paid Sewell 28 average a year average. If you think the center position is just going to suddenly catch up, I don't know what to tell you. You want Tom to potentially take a 50% pay cut to move to center. I would demand a trade. They know what they have in Tom. They know he can play anywhere along the line and play it at a very high level. I think you are reading way, way too much into a potential move to center and the impact on his pay. He will be paid according to his importance to the OL, which is substantial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying it isn't happening. Others are suggesting since we took Morgan there must be some validity to the rumor. 3 minutes ago, beekay414 said: Why are we talking about Tom at C? Myers is our C.

Thank you and I agree! Nobody is suggesting it is likely to happen. It is being discussed as a possibility, not a probability. I know this distinction is lost on a message board where everything needs to be black or white. A suggestion that Tom might play center is an absolute affront in this world. Regardless, it is a possibility that will get sorted out in camp. If the Packers intend to create competition across the line then it is not out of the realm of possibility that Myers will have to fight for his job along with everyone else. I would agree with those that would suggest It is unlikely he will lose that job and unlikely Tom will move to center, but I will not agree with those that suggest Myers doesn't have to compete for it. Also - what I have replied to in your previous posts are not you stating it isn't happening, you have been stating Tom wouldn't do it purely for salary reasons - which I think is false Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZT is one year away from getting over 20 a year in his next contract. Would that contract come next year or the year after is unknown. He's not sniffing that if he moved to center. In fact, his next contract likely is cut in half if he moves to center based on the pay of the two positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, his next contract likely is cut in half if he moves to center based on the pay of the two positions. Then if you go back and re-read my previous posts, my point is even if he were to move to center (a hypothetical possibility, not a probability mind you) the Packers know his value across the entire line. They know he can play any position and play it at a high level. He will not be compensated "as a center." He will be compensated as a wildly valuable offensive lineman that is currently playing center With a 7th round pick signed through 2025 and a rookie as the OT's in this scenario, Tom is an easy re-sign at upper OL market value regardless of position he is currently playing. Packers know they can always move him back to OT if they don't re-sign Walker in 2026. Edited April 26 by Kampfgeist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
