I fail to see how that is a solution that will be better for us this year. Ask Atlanta how their center situation worked out for them this past year. You have to be able to definitively say that a rookie fresh out of college will be better than De La Puente as a starter.

Makes more sense to retain the services of DLP for two years while our rookie develops. It's not logical to have all the working components in place to make a superbowl run but disregard a pretty important piece.

EDIT: And I am in no way saying we should go out and offer him a small fortune to return right now. Let him test the waters, and if he walks back to the table he'll be a lot more realistic. One thing I don't agree with is overpaying mediocre players, but I am sure there is middle ground to be found between both sides that will help propel the team to a great season.
