The kid is young. He has a lot of talent and is signed through 09 plus he is from ND. This would be a perfect pick up.
so you think that a fourth round pick will get us a 24 year old center, a former 1st round pick? what makes you think that?
WHat makes me think that???? THIS IS WHAT MAKES ME THINK THAT! Packers | Team unsure if it wants to trade for Faine Thu, 30 Mar 2006 19:35:21 -0800 Tom Silverstein, of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, reports Cleveland Browns OC Jeff Faine, who is on the trading block, has expressed an interest in joining the Green Bay Packers, but it would take at least a fourth-round draft pick for the Packers to get him and it's unclear whether they would be willing to do that.
Dont know much about him, but if hes on the trading block, for only a 4th rounder, can he really be that valuable? Again, dont know much about him. But he might be valuable insurance in case we miss out on Mangold
His contract isnt that much and he is young so its worth a shot. Its a better shot that he works out then a prospect from the fourth rd.
Faine is primarily a pass protecting center. He doesn't have a nasty demeanor and will struggle against big nose tackles (Wilfork; 325, Traylor; 340, and Buffalo might get Ngata; 340). He was replaced because he couldn't handle the Steelers defense and in more detail Hampton, Hoke and Ma'ake Keamoeatu of the Ravens. It would not be smart either especially when we aren't certain at quarterback so we won't be passing as much.
i'd probably do it for a 4th rd pick but where did anyone hear this... i'm curious if there is any truth to this (cuz i've only heard it here) or if its one of those made up rumors someone imagined and posted
lol if we can take a shot with ramsey .. why cant we take shot on faine who isnt half the bust ramsey is
