Christian Ringo signed with the Cardinals last week. Former 2015 6th round pick who has bounced around the league.
He's made a living at it.

^ Nice.
Always appreciated his hard-nosed style.
How bad is Kevin King? No interest with a month until the season starts.
Not true. There's been lots of interest; he's gotten offers from both Home Depot and Burger King.

LB Kamal Martin waived with injury designation by the Panthers. A Packer 5th round pick that didn’t pan out.
Weird that we whiff on Martin but then get equitable value on Barnes as an UDFA. Shotgun blast method works sometimes.
Was a little surprised they let him go after he showed promise his rookie year.
I thought I read somewhere he was let go by GB because they thought his knees were in bad shape and wouldn't get better, so his prospects for staying healthy and having a long-term pro football career were not great. Didn't want to roster a guy who was always hurt.
Wouldn't be surprised if that were true.
Did the regime change happen between the draft and the cut? If not, I don't really understand why they spent a 5th on him, if the circumstances above are accurate.
I think they took a chance on a guy who likely would have been a Day 2 pick if not for the knees. But I think him not being assignment sure in pass defense was a reason for him getting cut so soon.

JC Tretter announces his retirement after 8 seasons. Pretty unusual for a guy only 31 years old who was playing at a pro bowl level.
He's had injuries throughout his career though. He's a very smart guy who attended Cornell. He studied labor relations there and eventually became President of NFLPA. Unlike a lot of guys, he's well prepared for a 2nd career after football.

Should this be in the "Former Packers no longer chasing the dream" thread?
He did early, but started all 16 games 4 years straight in Cleveland.
I'm of the opinion he was very competent as union president and ownership doesn't want him and his good decisions around anymore.

I think the UAW and Teamsters could use a president who's not crooked...I think the rank-and-file would support Tretter. He seems to have done a good job for the Players Association. I always liked the guy and thought he was a good player. I wish him well.

In 2021 Tretter came out for eliminating OTA's and minicamps. It seems that since then, more players are skipping OTA's. That's probably what got him blacklisted as a player. But he's not going away. He'll be union President for another year and a half. And who knows? He might push to be the guy negotiating the next CBA in 2031.
