ill, I don't think it was desperation as much as value. Raymer signed a relatively high dollar deal with San Diego and had injuries that left him available. He is in the first year of a three year, 3.1 milion dollar deal. He's cutable, but there aren't many $1 million centers with starting experience - certainly not ones this staff feels can be coached enough to play.

As was the case with Larry (ugh) Moore last year, the Center is a position that relies on the people next to him a lot, because they are slower to get into blocks. Injuries have kept Raymer and Friedman from enjoying consistency there.

An upgrade would be nice, though.
