The Sanders fuck up is actually not as bad as the one that saw Thompson cut bona fide NFL punter Jon Ryan for Derek Frost.

Since we don’t know who the 53 player would have been, hard to put a ceiling on how bad that was. But it was completely an effort to save face. Not keep a talent.

Ryan for Frost on the other hand is when scheme got in the way of talent. A rarity on the Packers in terms of final roster.
