That's interesting! They have corrected both the reference to Favre and the reference to Green from what the article had earlier this morning. I printed it. Originally, it stated:Originally posted by BF4MVP
"Wolf has seven draft picks still kicking around Lombardi Ave.: Brett Favre, William Henderson, Mark Tauscher, Chad Clifton, Donald Driver, Bubba Franks and Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, and two distinctly Wolf free agent acquisitions in Ahman Green and Rob Davis."
It was wrong about favre and Green, as Rastak also noted.
I wonder if they will pick up on the numerous other errors and correct those as wellComment

Hmmmm...I don't see Truluck's or O'Sullivan's name mentioned in the article...
I don't see anything about Carroll being drafted in 2001 either....Comment

Gah..I really gotta look more carefullyOriginally posted by Patler
Yeah, that is bad. And the fact that they even had to correct those errors about Favre and Green shows how sloppy an article it is....Comment

They have attempted to fix another error, but didn't do it completely. Originally it stated:
"Only seven players who were drafted by Sherman remain in a Packers uniform: Robert Ferguson, David Martin, Scott Wells, Nick Barnett, Aaron Kampman, Corey Williams and Kevin Barry. Free agent Colin Cole was Sherman's, too."
Barry was a free agent, not drafted. Now the article states:
"Only seven players who were drafted by Sherman remain in a Packers uniform: Robert Ferguson, David Martin, Scott Wells, Nick Barnett, Aaron Kampman and Corey Williams. Free agents Colin Cole and Kevin Barry were Sherman's, too."
They forgot to change the "seven" to "six" when they removed Barry from the list of drafted players!Comment

As he is now with the Chargers, shouldn't Bhawoh Jue be mentioned here somewhere or did he leave before TT got here? He'd have been one of the first gone if it did fall that way."Greatness is not an act... but a habit.Greatness is not an act... but a habit." -Greg JenningsComment

Yup, Jue was a free agent TT elected to let go. He should have been mentioned, too.Originally posted by MJZiggyComment

The article still states:
"The big free-agent losses, Mike Wahle, Marco Rivera and Darren Sharper two years ago, were lured away by substantially higher paydays."
Neither Wahle nor Sharper was a free agent. Each was under contract and could have been retained if the Packers paid what was required. Both were released by the Packers, and only then became free agents.Comment

It's incredible

The chart lists both Wahle and Sharper under "Players Leaving Through Free Agency" not under "Players Released". Both were released, just like Carroll, Thomas and others, but for very different reasons. Still, they were released.Comment
-
The chart lists "Player Traded", and mentions only Walker.
No mention was made of the trade of Sherman draftee Chris Johnson for 2005 starting linebacker Robert Thomas, and the subsequent departure of Thomas this off season.
No mention was made of the Steve Morley trade to the Jets for a conditional draft pick in 2007. Morley was another of the "sleeper" acquisitions by Sherman that did not pan out.Comment
