I would argue the reason Ted turned over the roster is the players that he let go were simply not big/strong/fast enough. He needed to get better and there are a fixed number of roster spots. I applaud what Ted has done this year big time.

Part of those 10 departures Patler noted were several flameouts on defense, positions that if those 2 or 3 poor drafts early in this decade (poor by Ted standards) would have been filled by guys on second or third contracts. (Datone Jones, Mike Neal, Jerel Worthy, etc.)
Some of this is that inevitable fallout. I think they expected Lang back, but the Lions threw injury concerns to the wind on their deal. They also were a year off (or worse) on Fackrell.
This is what the offseason looks like for a lot of teams, good and bad. Packers just normally have fewer roster holes.
everything he/they did was money related. filled the spots of the guys he let go with cheaper guys with equal or lessor talent in most cases (kendricks and brooks being exception). wouldn't be surprised if there's one more addition after the huge cut-down this weekend. hopefully the draft and (fingers crossed) better luck in the injury dept, will make the difference.
So how about that Ahmad Brooks signing? Will this be remembered like the Howard Green signing, or like Koren Robinson?
I think Bretsky owns "fart in the wind." Now when I hear that phrase, I don't think of Ron Wolf. I think of Bretsky.
Well, Bretsky and two women in a hot tub.
I confess to ankle-biter, but take no credit for "fart in the wind" ;)
