It's all about depth. What if Unger goes down and Lelito is starting at Guard? Lelito can not be our only option.

Well not having a backup center on the active roster has worked for us for the past couple of years... What ifs

And it showed last year when we had a 900 yr old center play like crap. The o-line sucked last year due to injuries. Why limit your options? Is it really going to hurt to bring him in? I would not say last years o-line "worked for us last year".

Because we have an all-pro in his prime center on the roster now and why steal depth from another position that will see the field for a "what if"(talking active roster)

I'd much rather have an extra DB/LB who will at least see the field on special teams rather than a second center when Lelito or another backup guard can handle the "what if"

Don't worry about it, he won't be around when the season starts.
