Josh Sitton.

[Radagast]

As I presently read this, TT goes not want to pay the Packers best Offensive Lineman what he is worth . A released Sitton may sign with anyone he pleases to.

This sounds like Tightwad Ted BEING Tightwad Ted and another NFL Team getting a Pro-Bowl Quality Offensive Guard .

I can just hear TT saying, "How you like me now ?" My answer, where can I buy TAR and FEATHERS ?

Ted's Tedliest move since Favre.

I think they do see Sitton declining and they have confidence somebody (Barclay?) can hold up just fine in the tight confines inside. I've seen Barclay working hard on the second level on more than a few runs this preseason. He's obviously a serious liability outside but if his second year back from the ACL means he's once again 100% then his game was always best mauling inside anyway.

beveaux, I'm seeing a little bit of gray area in your take on this now. We're (me included) concerned of a huge drop off in play. I don't think Ted and Mike think that's going to happen. Now we'll just have to wait and see how it goes. There's no question that the move changes the game from a cap management standpoint. Along with Peppers' salary coming off the books, they've got the flexibility to sign their guys.

PFF rated him as the 6th best guard in the nfl last year, so he didn't suck too much

and his cap hit was 6.85 which isn't much at all for a pro bowl guard

eagles get a 1st and 4th for sam fucking bradford, and we don't get shit for one of the best players in the nfl

i hate TT

barclay is a disaster, he needs to not be on the roster, its nuts to think of him as a starter again

and i've said for years, maybe TT and M3 aren't as smart as they think they are

[SMBASS]

Ah, PUP list makes this weirder. I could see handing the job to Tretter/Linsley/Bach. But not Lane Taylor.

I'll bet Linsley doesn't even play this year since he's already torn the same hamstring twice. This move makes no sense to me unless TT has his eye on someone off of the waiver wire because I sure as hell don't see the answer on our roster right now. If ARod spends this year running for his frickin' life again I'll bet
he's going to be pissed and I won't blame him one bit.

[SMBASS]

PS...Maybe Sitton banged Holmgren's daughter....just sayin'

Lol Bobble! That has to be it!

anyone of note get cut from another team?

i haven't been paying attention

i agree though that i don't see his replacement on the team

unless its that one rookie, sprunk or whatever his name is that looks just like a younger sitton

I'm shocked you're over the top reactionary on this red.

We'll see. He's held up well at Center this year.

Maybe TT and M3 are smarter than you think they are.

I've been watching college football this afternoon red so I haven't paid any attention to other team's releases either. That kid that looked like Sitton was placed on IR so he's off the table as well.

not from what i've seen

[Bretsky]

Don't think they would cut him, otherwise.

I was also there til part 2; I don't think that guy is on our roster

TT is kind of an icon in here; but if this blows up he deserves to be roasted

[vince]

Can they really not get anybody to trade for their best OL ??

Nobody's going to trade for a guy with a $6.5 million base salary that would be guaranteed on the first day of the season.

I hate the move. The only way this makes sense is if he really did start to decline and we just can't see it and TT wants to keep Tretter and Bahk long-term.

This year: Bahk, Tretter, Lindsey, Lang, Bulaga?
Next year: Spriggs, Tretter, Lindsley, Bahk, Bulaga?

And why Barrington? One injury away from Matthews back in the middle.

Frustrating day.

Bradford on PS perhaps.

How much is an over 30 Guard with a bad back worth? Just curious.

And Sitton said he was willing to play out the last year.

[Bretsky]

Would you post more for God's sake? Together we are close to genius!

Spriggs LT, Bach LG is future. But very doubtful its present. We'll see.

Springs in pass pro has been what I thought Sherrod was be.

SHERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

That fruitcake was nothing short of horrible from day one. I'd blacked that puke and the other out of my memory until reading this ))))))))))))))0

Spriggs better be better than a fruitcake
