Ari Fleischer has spoken.
 

"We are aware of the matter involving Andrew Quarless and are in the process of gathering more information. We will withhold further comment."

If Quarless is over he ended up being more like Aaron Hernandez than the guy he said he was going to be like. Quarless is one of my least favorite Packers, so I won't be shedding a tear when he exits whenever that day comes.

However, we've never won or even been to a SuperBowl this century without him.

Here's PFT's piece on the situation:

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Because fans are going crazy of cut this player or that player because their off their single field problem... and Colt has had LOTS of off the field problems...

Also because rumor had it the Packers attempted to keep Colt on the IR to try to develop him mentally still, try to keep him out of trouble and have him compete for a roster spot this year... but Colt refused forcing his way off the roster by getting his agent to demand an injury settlement instead, because he felt sure some other team would pick him on to be on their 53 man roster.... oh and he got arrested and in trouble again (after they attempted to keep him around in part to keep an eye on him, to attempt to keep him out of trouble).


But he had lots of interesting physical skills... but teams don't seem to be taking him up on them because they don't seem to be trusting him to stay out of trouble and/or worth their time to try to develop.

Bring him back in and let him compete and see what he's got. He should at least have a pretty decent knowledge of our playbook. Maybe the arrest after the injury settlement gave him a wake-up call that being in Green Bay on the practice squad if he doesn't make the team is better than jail.

1. /no go South Beach, dude.
2. Has Lyerla been in trouble since he was let go by GB? (I have no idea)

Which was dismissed.


And then he says things like this that make me believe he thinks he's the victim.

Cut him.

Not sure what is in his contract but that might be problematic for the team to just decide to cut him over this.

May have to hold on and make it look like he just wasn't performing and then lower the boom during cuts as he likely won't be suspended immediately.

As for Colt, I was a big supporter of bringing him in last year but I doubt after this scenario with Quarless they would be willing to even consider a guy with Lyerla's background now. We will surely have the youngest TE group in the NFL, by far, if Q gets cut.

If you feel like you could trust Lyerla then throw a minimum contract his way.... but I think that's the problem, teams don't feel like they can trust Lyerla for whatever reason... and one of the teams (Eagles) is now completely controlled by his former head coach...


There are some others too... but are coming off injuries

TE Jermaine Gresham (back injury)
TE Zach Miller (ankle injury)

Gresham has 1st round potential but has driven the Bengals fans crazy as he's struggled to develop it. According to some Bengals fans it looked like he might of finally turned the corner and injuries his back.

Miller hasn't put up big number with the Seahawks, but that's partly because they're such a run first team and he's been asked to help with the pass protection a good bit. He put up big numbers on the Raiders as their top target.

A Colt video that he released a few months back. Again he is so intriguing it makes you wonder just how he must come across in the locker room. They give lots of guys a chance even though they are idiots.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty
wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.
