    Demovsky - Shields Done in Green Bay

    Not surprising but this appears like it could be unofficial confirmation of the expected anyway...

    Sam Shields, the Packers' former No. 1 cornerback, will be done in Green Bay. The Packers will release Shields, who hasn't played since Week 1 because of a concussion that landed him on injured reserve. It was his second concussion in nine months and the fourth known concussion of his NFL career, which began in 2010. He has one year left on the four-year, $39 million deal he signed in 2014, and the Packers would save $9 million on next year's salary cap if they let him go. The move might force them to draft another cornerback high, even as high as the first round. -- Rob Demovsky

    They will have to draft multiple cornerbacks. Rollins is still in the concussion protocol and Randall looks like a bust..

      It's a real strong draft for CBs from what I've read.

        Randall is a bust this year but it sometimes takes CBs a bit to develop.
        Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

          According to Over the Cap, cutting Shields and James Starks will put the Packers at ~$48M under the cap. They'll want to resign guys like T.J. Lang, Nick Perry, and Jared Cook and perhaps Micah Hyde, J.C. Tretter, Datone Jones, Eddie Lacy to reasonable deals, but they have great flexibility. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Packers sign another prominent free agent or two.

              So any rumors as to potential FA CB's this off season?

                There isn't much at CB. A.J. Bouye is probably the top player available. It sounds like the draft is deep at CB though.

                RB has Le'Veon Bell, Latavius Murray, and probably Adrian Peterson. Eddie Lacy could be resigned.

                DL looks pretty strong in free agency. Both edge guys and interior guys.

                  he's 29, part of the #1 pass blocking group in the nfl. why do you think he's done?

                    I like Gilmore from Buffalo who I believe will be on the market unless franchised by the Bills.

                        The Packers will draft CORDREA TANKERSLEY of Clemson with their 1st round pick.

                          Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                            Shields will always have my respect after ending at least 2 Bears games with interceptions.
                            Too early to write of Randall, but yes, draft another corner high in the draft.

                              yup, we need an infusion

                              draft a guy and maybe someone makes the mistake of cutting a #1 corner, cause we could use one of those, and it sure as shit ain't gonna be randall
