The forever young mantra requires that they look ahead 2 or 3 years at as many positions as possible. That look ahead started in earnest last year for the center position. Max Unger is a core leader that has three years left on his contract. Backup Lemuel Jeanpierre is a free agent.
Scouts identified Jared Smith as a conversion project and Cable validated that by committing time and energy to Smith's development.
Caylin Hauptmann was plucked off of the Browns practice squad and was later designated the backup center after Unger stepped aside and Jeanpierre filled as a temporary starter at center.
Recently signed Greg Van Roten is a guard the Packers were converting into a center.
The forever young mantra searches for inviting development candidates ........ not cap busting veterans.
