All that work down the drain. I never saw any potential in him, myself, but now he will never have the chance to prove me wrong. I hope he finds a good career.

The Pack's failure to draft an OLB looks even more conspicuous now, but I bet they knew before the draft that Jeremy Thompson was done. Brad Jones, it's all on you now, with Poppinga and Obozior as backups.

Greg.. we do have another sleeper of sorts on the roster.. albeit he didn't have a ton of experience.

Not to mention that I think if the right veteran pops up during the off season we may be a buyer..

Another thought.. could Chillar man the Outside in a crunch?

Well, wish the best for the guy. That really sucks.

As for the Packers, we now have a depth issue at OLB. Is Poppinga going to be our #2 man at both the Left and the Right side or are we going to pick up one more OLB?

I'm not as high on Obiozor as most, but I really liked this guy. I think that he could make somewhat of an impact.

This is one of the positives of a 3-4. You can get guys who go undrafted or very late who turn out to be great 3-4 OLB players, they just never got the chance in college.

Of course, you do get unlucky on a 4-3 DE who turns into a 3-4 OLB from time to time, but it can work out very favorable, as well.

Adalius Thomas is still out there if we wanted a veteran in the mix...

Thanks. I hadn't heard of that guy. I'm guessing that, like Obozior, he is still a couple years away from being a really solid player, even if he continues to develop.

I have heard some talk of shifting Chillar to the outside in some situations. I think it's worth trying.

Okay, maybe it was in a sub-package and a flukey play, but I can imagine that they use him at OLB when they have to.

"I have consulted with a number of physicians, and due to my medical condition my intention is to retire from football," Thompson said in a statement released by the Packers. "I am thankful to the Packers organization and to the fans for their support during my time in Green Bay. The Packers are a first-class organization and I want to thank them for the opportunity to play in the NFL. There truly is no team I would have rather played for."
