Hopefully getting the courts permission is what is holding up his arrival in Green Bay, and hopefully "the courts" realize that Johnny Jolly has a much better chance of staying clean by being in Green Bay trying to get back into football than he does sitting in Houston(or wherever).

Jolly agreed to cut his 2010 salary of $2.521 million to $715,000 after he was reinstated

Let's just see where he is at before the draft.

I wonder why the silence over this.. he is a current Packers.. unless it cares not to discuss the legal aspect on Jolly.

Source...  

Packers general manager Ted Thompson is known for playing things close to the vest in the buildup to the NFL Draft -- and really in regard to pretty much every subject -- so his 20-minute meeting with reporters Thursday in Green Bay produced the expected amount of obtuse answers and little if any news.

.....

Any update on recently reinstated defensive lineman Johnny Jolly, who was reportedly close to returning to the team earlier this week for offseason workouts?

"No, nothing to report there."
