It's probably a combination of things. First, they believe he's a descending player with health issues. Second, they think there's someone on the roster that can do as well as Sitton at the guard position. Third, there's someone that they believe has enough upside on the roster that they don't want to cut. You can bet that MM and TT both came to this decision. It probably was not something that Sitton said to someone in the front office. It comes down to what they believe the best 53 will be.

Don't think they would cut him, otherwise.I was with you until point two.
I agree. But who? Has to be Tretter/Linsley. Barclay was bad as a Guard if I recall.

I was also there til part 2; I don't think that guy is on our roster
TT is kind of an icon in here; but if this blows up he deserves to be roasted
LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?
I think we see Sitton as he was 3 years ago. He was not the same last year. I'm sure the tape showed that and they probably gave Sitton an ultimatum to come in in better shape. Training camp must not have been kind to him.
I think last year he was still in the top half of Guards in the NFL; was he our best OL last year ? Certainly not our worst starter.

I agree. In addition, I think they have already decided that this will be Pepper's last year, and Peppers + Sitton money can eventually be used to take care of the players whose contracts are coming due.
Who Knows? The Shadow knows!
I was looking at the OL and I felt it was going to be hard to keep all of the players I felt like we could keep, especially with an eye on next year when I feel like we very well could have been without both Sitton and Lang. Plus, Bhak is no sure thing With the injury he's coming off.
We were looking really thin next year if we don't keep a bunch of decent young guys now. And Sitton and Lang are only getting worse after 30. That's just a reality.
Keeping a young guy over and old one...... That happens. Like I said, I was already letting go of those two old guys in my mind. I don't feel bad about this.
Formerly known as JustinHarrell.
I had convinced myself they would both be gone next year too. What I don't understand is why cut a good player on the last year of his deal when we are primed for a great season. With this logic cut peppers now and let Perry, Jones, and the other young guys play.
Draft Brandin Cooks WR OSU!
OL is a position that relies more on slow twitch than fast twitch. All things equal Sitton probably should have 5 years left. That being said, obviously TT and MM think all things are NOT equal.
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
That could very well be right but I haven't yet gotten my head around how Sitton isn't included on the best 53.
At this point in time, he might be one of the best 53. The key to a successful front office is deciding if someone in the bottom 10 on your roster will be better by the end of the year, or by next year. You don't want to lose that guy.
This was likely always going to happen but it could have happened next offseason not this one, unless they really don't want to see Bakh hit the market.
I've been reading multiple Packers' forums about Sitton's release and this makes the most sense. Did Sitton play much this preseason? How did he do with one on ones in TC this summer?
I've said all along that Bacteria would end up at LG. Not sure who is ready to play LT in such a case though. Maybe its right that Barclay or Tretter will hold them over for a year.

Would you post more for God's sake? Together we are close to genius!
Spriggs LT, Bach LG is future. But very doubtful its present. We'll see.
Springs in pass pro has been what I thought Sherrod was be.

Same as Sherrod, he needs a better punch...but he is young, so there is hope he might develop it. He is very natural at locking out the arms and steering guys where he wants them, but Mack exposed his lack of punch when facing premier talent (but then again, Mack does that to good NFL left tackles).

I don't see Bach as a guard at all. Since he struggles against power players why do you think he's suited for playing on the inside?
Also, did anyone mention yet that they just put Linsley on the PUP list? Now without him being available I don't get releasing Sitton at this particular time at all. Our OL just became a lot weaker without any depth now if you ask me.
Ah, PUP list makes this weirder. I could see handing the job to Tretter/Linsley/Bach. But not Lane Taylor.
