KGB

[Harlan Huckleby]

You don't like the guy HH, I get it. That doesn't mean he is "worse than than guys on practice squads around the league."

KGB is a one dimensional player, all he has had the last several years is a speed rush.

Now he has lost his speed.

KGB is a veteran in midseason, the Packers have to play KGB's salary even after cutting him. If he had anything to offer, why the hell would they make this painful move?

If he is better than practice squad guys, then some team will pick him up for a roster spot. I am not expressing an opinion, just stating the obvious. We will see.

Ridiculous. His salary or salary desires are what will keep him off a team.

If KGB can still play, it is well worth it for him to hook on with another team, even for the vet minimum. He is not going to get another shot in the NFL by sitting at home.

But in all likelhood it is retirement time.

He's a 9 year vet. He's not going to take the vet minimum. He would only latch on to another team if he can get a ring, or a big check.

Not so sure, B. You hear of players that were cut and the reason for the timing of the early cut was so they'd have a chance to latch on somewhere else. I've seen interviews where he's talked about how much he hates cutting players and I gotta think this one was a hard cut to make--and if he were that cold about it, I don't know that KGB would have expressed as MUCH love as he did for the team. I'm not saying he wouldn't have been a class act, but he did have some extremely nice things to say.

That have a chance with another team line is one everybody effectively uses

The way KGB went out is a reflection on him as a class act

I think he does the best he can to allow good people every chance to succeed and get paid without hurting the team. He certainly does have compassion. I honestly believe he is brilliant in his approach to things. Allowing guys to get season credits towards pensions, allowing guys to make a little extra when they are hard workers ect....he just doesn't go so far as to hurt the team while doing it.

I'll put it another way...the way he handles a deshawn wynn and the way he handles a KGB are entirely different and for a good reason.

He is guaranteed a salary from GB for this season, money is not an issue for this year.

He isn't going to find a way to a ring or big check by dropping out.

Absolutely great General Manager skills by TT he gave the guy 6 million dollars because he was a class act and the Packers are so rich they can afford to piss it away it is not like they could have used it to extend Jennings we don't need his sorry ass anyways.

Well, considering KGB was second on the team in sacks in 2007 and second in QB hurries, I can understand why TT would have wanted to give him a chance to get healthy from the off season surgery before deciding if he was washed up or not. If he could have regained his 2007 form, he would have been very valuable. He played pretty well in 2007 before getting hurt.

Besides, if the Packers lose Jennings, it won't be because of too little cap room. It will simply be because the Packers decide they don't want to pay that much for him.

QFT patler....prsn..this is possibly the worst post in this thread. We had a ton of cap room, KGB is a class act all the way who might have returned to valuable form (but didn't). To complain about TT in this case is even dumber than when most people complain about TT.
