Josh Sitton.

The dynamic duo of Klemm and his sidekick Whitticker couldn't get the Pack the NCCG.

Not saying we will go 4-12 this season without Sitton, but sometimes when you underestimate a position, as Thompson did at OG back in '05, it comes back to bite you in the ass. Favre would've been sacked perhaps 100 - plus times if not for his quick release. I like to joke at the local comedy club that Favre and Brady get rid of the football faster than I last during coition.

We won the SB in 2010 with Daryn freaking Colledge at LG.

This regime has always been behind the curve at certain positions - the OL in general is one of them.

They're just as retarded about ILB, and defense in general.

Take away Aaron Rodgers, and everyone would have been calling for Ted's head years ago. QB may be the most important position in the league, but the Packers completely fall apart - as in completely - without Rodgers. That doesn't speak well of Ted's drafting philosophy and chops.

AFC East is what happened. How did the non-Bradys do in the playoffs?

They finished behind the Jets. The bleeping Jets. That's worse then finishing behind the Lions.

The whole thing is ignoring how stacked the team was, that, ya-know, was a Helmet catch away from being 19-0. Wist is crazy.

According to Ian Rapoport and Brad Biggs on Twitter, the Bears are signing Sitton to a 3-Year deal. Those are the only sources I've seen so far.

Biggs says that the deal could approach almost 7 mil. per yr.

Sounds like Sitton actually got a small raise. This whole situation is very strange. Why on earth would you cut an all-pro? Could have gotten a decent compensatory pick next year letting him walk.

I agree that it's all very weird the way it went down. I still think there's more to this story then we're probably ever going to hear. Well, whatever...it's a done deal now.

Josh Sitton signing a 3-year, $21.75 million deal that includes $10M guaranteed with the Chicago Bears, per source.

Thanks Ted!

You're such a homer, lol...

Per Daugherty:

An NFL source with ties to the Packers told me that in the team’s eyes Sitton had become haughty and uncommunicative. That jibes with a report by the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel’s Tom Silverstein that the Packers were unwilling to talk contract extension with Sitton and instead placed left tackle David Bakhtiari and center JC Tretter ahead of him on their contract-extension priority list.

Clearly, Thompson thought a problem was festering in his locker room, and Sitton’s age and bad back left him expendable even coming off a second-team All-Pro season.

That's telling. I had to look up haughty just to be sure since it's not used much.

"Arrogantly superior and disdainful"

That kind of me-first act can't be accepted by team leadership. When one of your team leaders pulls that, it spreads like wildfire. I'm sure they tried to work with him on it. The players may not like the move, but they'll respect the consistent demand for team unity.

Someone speculated that this may have been a strategy to get Sitton more money now rather than risking another year of banging in the trenches on an already beat up body. If it was it worked.

Reminiscent of Favre's attitude back in '08.

McCarthy: Favre not in right mindset to play for Packers right now

Why would I let anybody of a negative mindset in our locker room?

[smuggler]

I doubt he plays out that contract, but I would still rather have him here in 2016 to compete for a title!

[Bretsky]

Sounds like you either take the view GB mismanaged the situation, or you blame Sitton for being a disruption.

Either way hard to argue this is not a blow to our sb run.

If he is cut and no one claims him, isn't his contract now void? He has to renegotiate a new contract with whom every signs him?
