Former Packers still pursuing the dream

[Rutnstrut]

So did he (Green) sit out of football for over 3 years and then just up and decide the CFL sounds good? Odd, does the CFL pay anything close to the NFL?

[hoosier]

Average salary is probably half to third of avg NFL, and little dollars too

Not sure what he has been doing in the meantime but that was his first game since being cut by the Packers in 2013. Doesn't look like he was in a training camp, or Canada, or anywhere since.

EDIT: Looks like he was with the Jets in 2013 and camp in 2014 but hasn't been in a game since 2013.

Josh Sitton was knocked out of last week's game with a rib injury in the third quarter, has not practiced all week and is inactive today.

You can take the player out of Green Bay but you can never take Green Bay out of the player!

" A first-round pick of the Packers in 2013, Jones spent the offseason with the Vikings, so he just needs a stint with the Bears to complete his NFC North bingo card.

Minnesota released Jones with an injury settlement because of a shoulder issue, but he is apparently healthy now. He should help out as a situational rusher for Detroit. " Oct 10 - 9:05 AM

'shoulder issue'

[Patler]

Although Lang is inactive for the Lions today with a back injury, from what I have read he has been everything they hoped for and more, so far.

i presume everything they hope for included playing every game, so the 'more' must include 'not playing.'
