Roman cut

Mark Roman was just released by the Packers, WBAY TV 2

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

[MJZiggy]

Is anybody surprised?

Love the message that was just sent

[Harlan Huckleby]

nah, this isn't a good thing, it's a shame. Although a small event in the scheme of things.

Message: if you lose your job, keep your mouth shut about it.

I don't think this is such a valuable message. Roman had already back-tracked on his foolish, negative comments, I don't think anybody was impressed by them.

Roman wanted off the team, and he got his way. I wish they would have worked something out with him, that would have been the winning outcome. Perhaps not possible.

Well, the homer in me wants to say "great! Underwood must be making big strides and Manual must have impressed as well". But the common sense side of me is saying Yikes!

We cannot forget that Seattle had the most effective pass-rush in the league last year. They also had very good corners. I personally am not ready to accept Manual as anything more than an average starter at best. After all, Roman did start over him in Cinncinatti ages ago.

It doesn't seem to be a good idea to enter the season with a rookie, 2 sophomores, and Manual.

It isn't on their website at the time of this post.

You don't just cut starters the way Thompson has cut Sharper,Wahle, and Thomas without attempting a trade or getting some value in return.

If this rumor gets confirmed then Thompson is just not preserving value.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Oh, hell, Roman had no trade value. He is the sort of player that teams hope to pick up on waivers. I wouldn't blame Thompson, I think Roman wanted out of Green Bay, and the wisest move was to let him go. Not a big deal, just a tiny misfortune for the Pack.

aS POSTED ABOVE, THIS ILLUSTRATES THAT uNDERWOOD IS SHOWING PROGRESS AND THAT THEY PROBABLY COULDN'T SWING A TRADE FOR A PLAYER OF HIS LOW CALIBER. Great move, the D just got better in regards to tackles missed

[Harlan Huckleby]

I hope you are right about Underwood. Altho I doubt decision on Roman had anything to do with Underwood.

Common sense says they were sick of him being a bitch.

[gbpackfan]

I am a little shocked by this move. Not that it happened, but that it happened before TC even started. I firmly believe that Manual is a better S then Roman, but now we have very little experience at S. Oh well, Roman wasnt anything great so it opens up a spot for someone new to step up. We have lots of guys looking for a chance. Boger, Culver, Bigby, Underwood...etc.

Probably a big F U to Roman to do it to him the day before not only our camp, but pactically every camp in the league starts up. Just might make it harder for him to hook up right away with any team at all. Not ony Underwood for that slot, but how about Woodson in cerain situations? Everyone says Carroll did pretty well at the OTA's he can get on the field too, and not be a big drop off in talent. Makes us seem like a flexible D to say the least.

Reggie Mckenzie was hyping up Bigby in that sleepers article so maybe there's more to that guy than a cool/odd name like Atari.
