I still say McCarthy doesn't value offensive lineman.

Doesn't seem like a McCarthy move. But I do wonder who he wants at LG now. Very curious.
Good to see you ND.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

This D2 6'4" LT likely wouldn't make it too far.
Just listened to Dombrovsky on NFL Radio talk. Talked a lot about there had to be more to this than just a simple cut. Something had to have happened that we may never know about. What he did say we know, right now a strength may have taken a large hit because they don't have much idea who is starting at LG. Likely it will be Walker since Linsley will be out at least the 1st week. He did talk a lot about moving Bulaga to LG and putting Spriggs in at RT, but that would be an offseason move...which then he came back right away with, "Which is why this move is even more bizarre. This could have been done weeks ago if it was simply for cap space. Something happened."

Forgot all about Walker. When healthy, he's your LG right now. Keep him inside and he can get it done.
Edit: Walker is on IR so he's out for the year.

I'm conflicted about this move. I see the reason behind keeping younger guys on the roster this year if Sitton indeed was a goner next year. However, the guy only had one year left on his deal...and he is clearly a better option for this season than others on our roster. Thompson has always been very good at being able to predict when a guy is about to hit the wall in his career though. He may get rid of a guy a year too early...but that is better than a year too late.
The confusing thing is getting NOTHING in return for a guy who clearly has value to other teams in the league. I'm not saying you are getting a top 150 pick...but even a 6th round pick has SOME value. This isn't a move that suddenly pops into your head yesterday and you run with it. This is a move that is made carefully over weeks or months, so it is hard to believe they couldn't find a way to get SOMETHING in return for him.
It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
What is Sttons cap hit before and after release? Could be looking to re-sign someone this year and have a big hit this season.
When you say fuck off to one of your best O-lineman, you are saying fuck off to your QB. i sure hope Hundley is ready to play, because TT sure as fuck doesn't care about the health of Rodgers.

OK on the FA point, but King was talking about Sitton's trade value. TT reportedly shopped til he dropped. No takers.
If Sitton is really the best O-lineman, then why wasn't there a feeding frenzy of other GMs to pick him up for a high round draft pick? I think we learned he is not highly regarded by people who study film.
I agree with the fuck-off part, though. Seems awful sudden and cold.

No, he is exempt from waivers. Either that or he has right of refusal if a team tries to claim him. Effectively making him a free agent.
