GREEN BAY, Wis. -- This season may be Derek Sherrod's last to prove he can be an impact player for the Green Bay Packers.

The team does not plan to exercise the fifth-year option on his contract, according to an NFL source. That means the former first-round pick would become a free agent after this season.

Beginning in 2011, all first-round picks signed four-year contracts with a club option for a fifth year. The deadline for teams to exercise those options is Saturday and most already have done so.

Thanks tezzy for the headsup.

Can't see why they would want to pay him $7 mil when he has not started in the last 3 years.

This is a player who really hit badly in the luck dept. I'm hopeful they can eventually work something out with him if he comes around and is competing at a high level. It would be good to see him contribute for us should we need him, and it would make for a pretty good story of redemption after a catastrophic compound fracture of his femur.

Not exercising the option was simply a sound business move, and says nothing about how this organization feels about Derek Sherrod. I'm sure they are wanting for his complete recovery and return to the Packers lineup.
