Edgar Bennett got released and is now a Bear. Back to nappy.

The whole taking care of our own thing is kinda proven to be a myth now. Even if hes hurt, he's wad still our best lineman.
And hes only 30, it's not like he was 36 or something
I
And he was the leader of the o-line. If you aren't gonna take care of one of your leaders who's o my 30, then who will you take care off?
F*****G Ron Wolf!!!
One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

"Taking car of our own" doesn't mean you never cut anybody. The cap room they saved will likely be used to offer extensions to other current Packers.
Was Sitton the leader of the o-line any more than T.J. Lang? I never really thought so.

You cut the players that aren't performing up to their contract. That was not the case with sitton
So MM kicks Sitton in the ass on the way out the door.
Sitton says nothing negative about the team when he leaves, saying simply that football is a business. When he is later interviewed, he further refuses to blame the Packers.

Which side is taking the high road?
I am.
HA! I WAS RIGHT! I WAS RIGHT! I WAS RIGHT!As a vested veteran, Sitton wasn't subject to waivers, so he could have signed with anybody he wanted.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
The question M3 got asked was very generic. You have to really want it to both apply directly to Sitton and be a critique. Not saying he wasn't worried (probably about future) but its not slam dunk he was confirming haughty and uncommunicative.
That said, I bet Greg Jennings felt the same way even though he had a contract offer in hand.

You've really taken the low road now.
JK
he would have given his all this year, being a contract year, so they should have kept him and put the best o-line possible out there for Rodgers. now you've got a backup starting and a #3 backing him up. maybe a wise $ decision but not a good football decision.
this!
Since Sitton's contract is expiring at end of this season, it isn't even that compelling of a money decision, at least from cap perspective.
(What's that quote from some rich guy, "A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon you are talking serious money.")
Sure it is. That money can be used to sign other players to extensions, or the money can be carried over to next year.
Although you must admit, Ted usually lets them play out that last year so he can get a pick in the compensation system. Plus, I believe they already have plenty of cap space.
Don't let it be said that TT never cuts his own draft picks.
if he is playing on big contracts to a few of them, then the money from this year can be used to mitigate the hit.

Packers G T.J. Lang on Josh Sitton: "He loved it here. He wanted to be here. He wanted to finish his career here." So much for the theories many of you are throwing around.
Meanwhile >Jermichael Finley " You can't just let a Pro Bowler walk out the door like that. PERIOD! @jsitton71 was the BEST O-Linemen the @packers had!"
Leroy Butler added in " The shortest path to Aaron is up the middle,confused why did the packers cut JOSH SITTON. Smh "
Agreed. Hard to imagine what Sitton could have said/done where the Packers decided they are better without him than with him. OL skill level and depth have taken a big hit, even accounting for whatever slippage Sitton has had. I normally back TT/MM but this is a headscratcher for me.
Go PACK
extensions - so they can take cap space from this year to pay for contracts for future years? That sounds unlikely.
money carried over to next year - increased cap space for this year can be carried over to increase next year's cap?
What you are saying is passing strange, but perhaps it is right in some complicated sense.
