B.J. Sander cut

[Scott Campbell]

thats the kind of stat that would shut tank up

No, Bro.

Tank has been told the ridiculous nature of thousands of his foolish posts. He was quoted the statistics, shown facts, etc. It never fazed the fool one way or the other. He's, like, too stupid to kill.

Now don't go gettin all sentimental on us KY.

We actually incur a cap hit from this - don't we?

Not much of one. About 145k this year and next year. His base was 425k, so we saved about 300k this year! Think of all the players we can sign for that!

[Scott Campbell]

I mentioned something to this effect on the other punting thread. My theory from early last year has been that TT has been purging Shermy picks just as fast as he possibly can.

Your comment is just as ludicrous on this thread. Who would you have kept???

Do you really think Thompson is dumb enough to cut a good player just because Sherman drafted him? Utterly ridiculous.

The only Sherman apologist I've known ever to go to such ridiculous lengths is GreenDay.

This doesn't mean Ryan has made the team. This means they are giving Ryan and Rayner more opportunities to show they belong on the team. You can be sure that if either struggles, the Packers will be looking at any decent veteran that gets cut.

Yes but this finally makes it offical, In the 2004 draft the Packers led by Mike Sherman had the worst 3rd round in the history of the NFL draft. Three players selected, and three players cut, all in less than 3 seasons with the Green Bay Packers, and not to mention the draft picks wasted to pick up these players.. Way to go Mike!!!

my memory fails me. who were the other two?

Donnel Washington.

Did everybody see the article that there are more guys on the roster from the Wolf era than the Shermie era?

No No NO .Don't give an ounce of credit to Jon Ryan's skill and upside.

Rather. Explain around that, mraynrand??

Why didn't Ted Thompson cut BJ Sander as soon as he signed Jon Ryan, mraynrand? Your argument based on that query may be bogus? Just a thought mraynrand.

I'll suggest this. Look at your post to me on the other thread , and reverse the names in regards to who was pushing whom.

I'll also suggest this. Why not just be happy that BJ Sander can move onto something else, and Jon Ryan got a wee vote of confidence - or is it better to go to "sour grapes"?

Whatever works for you Man.

GO PACK GO !!

PACKER FAN FAITH FOR 2006 !!

Ryan didn't win the job as much as BJ lost it. And boy, did he ever lose it. Ryan still needs to improve, and lets just hope he does.

[MadtownPacker]

About damn time the dead weight gets removed!!!

I dont care about what he has done since but after bj shanked that punt his rookie preseason then laughed I knew I wanted him gone.

[oregonpackfan]

The Packers are in the midst of shaking themselves from the frightening ghost of Mike Sherman as GM. Overall, his draft selections and personnel decisions as GM have to qualify him as one of the worst GM's the Packers have ever had.

OPF

[test]

no then you won't get props for cross-linking!

[FritzDontBlitz]

i personally thought tt should have shitcanned sander as soon as ryan was signed. and i'm not sad to see sherm's picks go either.

We actually incur a cap hit from this - don't we?

Technically we will take a small cap hit of $145,906. I can't find what his base salary is for this year, but last years was 305,000. Assuming that he had a pay increase or at least had the same salary we will save money this year (his cap number this year would be $450,906 if his salary stayed the same), but have the $145,906 as dead money next year. Again that is cheaper than if he was on the roster, so although it is technically a hit it still saves money.

Ya got me there, Scott. Guess I was homesick for Tank to pick on one last time

I know you miss being called a polygamist by the fool. (He said my name was Italian for "Ho". Also made no sense).

I kind of screwed up my post. It's an old Army joke. "How do them new recruits look?

Ah, they're too dumb to shoot"!

We certainly have the CAP room to handle that loss of cutting BJ Sander, and OUR punting last year was horrible. NO - worse than that.

Find a word?

We needed a change for certain, and whether it's Ryan or not Packer fans.

It wasn't going to be BJ Sander as OUR punter for 2006.

Is this move a shock to anyone?

GO PACKERS ! THE BEST ROSTER FOR PACKER FANS - SUCCESS in 2006 !!
