Obviously he got moved because they wanted to get him more snaps, because he wasn't getting enough otherwise. When he was drafted in 2013, he was projected as a proto-5 tech in a 3-4. Just because he didn't kill it, is not necessarily a reflection on anyone's evaluation skills or coaching. Sometimes it just doesn't work. The team has three choices; 1) have him try diversifying his portfolio by playing OLB or 2) let him rot on the vine or 3) cut him. Without a doubt this is a big year for Datone. I'm sure he knows that more than anyone. I hope he stays healthy and finally is able to show what the Packers saw in him in the first place.

The Packers also turned down Perry's 5th year and they are still paying him 5 million. So that doesn't mean they won't sign him after the season they just don't want to sign him for his option
^ Yep, good point. Specifically, both Sylvester and Hayden I think were mentioned in the news reports as being likely retained, but at lower dollar figures.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
It's hard to believe how far Patterson has fallen. After his rookie year the dude looked like a star

Agreed. Now he's "just" a dangerous kick returner, when everyone thought he was the next Randy Moss.
