Personally, I keep TJ Johnson at $1.85 mill, let Bodine walk, draft a C, and let the new C and TJ Johnson compete for starter reps.
Completely agree on keeping TJ over Bodine. Need to draft a Center for sure as well early like you said.
But i sure would like to see Westerman atleast get a shot at playing Center a little, add to his versatility anyways.
Couldn't hurt.

I haven't given up on Fisher yet if he has that health scare behind him.

TJ played atleast as good as Bodine the last bit of playtime he got.
I think we pretty much know what we have with Bodine at this point.
