Bryan Bulaga won't be moving to Left Tackle. He's got the most experience at RT and apparently is doing "ok".

LT. Derek Sherrod or Marshall Newhouse.
LG. T.J. Lang
C. Jeff Saturday
RG. Josh Sitton
RT. Bryan Bulaga

UNLESS Newhouse or Sherrod or Bulaga can play LG and they move Lang to RT. I don't see that shuffling happening.

I was hoping we could get one more good year from Cliff. Great second rd pick. Loyal Packer, would have probably gone to a couple more Pro Bowls if he had played in New York or Dallas, etc. Glad he got a Ring. Best wishes to Cliff.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

I feel like a prick, cuz I think this is good news. I really liked Chad Clifton, just feel it's time to usher in the new Left Tackle. Plus, the money (~$5.75 million) will go to help resign some core players.

This was inevitable. Now, get Driver to take a huge paycut from starter to 4th receiver money and I'll feel much better.

It's official. Packers have announced his release on Packers.com

http://www.packers.com/news-and-events/article-1/Packers-release-T-Clifton/c7a2f0df-ba32-4448-9b10-f585e4aae74b

The Green Bay Packers have released T Chad Clifton. The transaction was announced Monday by Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations Ted Thompson.

Clifton, who was selected by the Packers in the second round (No. 44 overall) of the 2000 NFL Draft, went on to appear in 165 games with 160 starts at left tackle during his 12-year career in Green Bay. He ranks No. 2 in franchise history for the most games played by an offensive tackle behind only Forrest Gregg (187 games). Clifton was selected to the Pro Bowl twice during his career (2007 and 2010) and blocked for five of the top eight single-season rushers in franchise history (Ahman Green, 2001-03; Ryan Grant, 2008-09).

Clifton helped pave the way for a 1,000-yard rusher in eight of his 12 seasons in Green Bay and was a part of top-10 offenses in nine of those seasons. From 2000-11, he was a member of offensive lines that allowed a total of 350 sacks, good for No. 3 in the league over that span. Clifton helped limit the opposition to a franchise-low 14 sacks in 2004 as the Packers did not allow a sack in eight games, another single-season club record. He played on eight playoff teams in Green Bay, highlighted by the 2010 squad that won Super Bowl XLV.

“Chad is a great Packer and has been an integral part of our success over the past 12 seasons,” Thompson said. “He was a member of some of the most prolific offenses in team history, but more importantly, he is a great person and teammate. We thank Chad for all that he has given the Packers on the field and in the community and wish him and his family well.”

Well alot of people got what they wanted so now we need to waste another 1st rounder on an O-lineman but that will make Dfoster happy :)

Boy for a 15-1 team we sure have alot of holes.

Thanks Chad for the loyalty to Green Bay 🙂

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)
