Packers Release CB Ahmad Carroll

The Green Bay Packers on Tuesday released cornerback Ahmad Carroll. Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations Ted Thompson made the announcement.

Carroll, the Packers' first-round selection in the 2004 NFL Draft, played 34 games in three seasons, starting 28 contests. He had 104 tackles (95 solo), three interceptions, three sacks, 26 passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

Holy crap. Well, he deserved it after that 2nd half. Brutal.

Holy crap is right. I guess I can't say I didn't see it coming but man...I'm still shocked!

Well, no one should call TT indecisive, wishy-washy or timid.
I wonder how close to ready Blackmon is?

oh snap, i need the link NOW!!!!!

Wow...TT is really cutting the fat. Another reason why Sherman was a awful GM. His entire Day one of the 2004 draft is gone.

I typed in Packers.com about five minutes ago, and there it was. I went over here right away and couldn't believe nothing has been said. Thomson and Co. had enough of him.

I feel like a fool for saying this (just warning you in advance) - but I'm afraid he'll be picked up right away - and become a decent CB for someone else. I was kinda hoping that we would stash him someplace until we had a decent secondary coach.

Carroll will be picked up immediately. He is a solid player and he is not afraid of contact.

I think I must have hopped onto the site right when it was fresh from the press. It's not even on kffl right now. Crazy crazy.

Gamble > Carroll ...

Been sayin it since day 1

HE'S A SOLID PLAYER?! ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!????? He is JUNK and this was a GREAT MOVE!

[Sparkey]

HURRAY! Gotta love accountability!

[MacCool606]

I think this is a "cart-before-the-horse" deal. I would really be happy if Schotts was dumped - I wouldn't care if someone else picked him up. I'll have to go put a post in the Fire Schottenheimer thread!

The only thing that makes it surprising is they really have no one ready behind him. Even if Blackmon is now healthy he's way behind and can't be expected to make much of an impact.

Certainly, it could get worse. But in the end, a hard decision was made about the level of play that will be tolerated. It sends a hell of a message to the other players too.

I don't agree Carroll will go somewhere else and suddenly "develop." Too many flaws in his game.
