This is stunning. I was pretty sure they would resign Josh and let Lang take a walk.

I've been told by multiple sources that the Sitton release was contract related, that he was not happy with the Packers waiting on extending his contract while pursuing deals with other players. There must have been some kind of standoff. Sitton is in the final year of his deal and was set to be unrestricted next year.

Ted not taking care of his own? What? This is a PR black eye for him and the org on this one if true. Sitton was a pro bowler...thought he was always overrated because he wasn't much of a run blocker but he was one heckvua pass blocker.

Not exactly sure why they would have to cut him now? We hold the cards with him. Ted Thompson didn't give in with the Favre situation but he's giving in to Sitton and releasing him? This had to be more than just a little disagreement. Had to be MAJOR. Has to have a ripple effect on everyone on this team. Watching one of your best players basically say I quit and am done with you and the GM just folding and letting it happen. Bad precedent. Shocked the steady stern Ted Thompson would allow this to take place.

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."

Your thoughts on our GM folding like a cheap tent when one of his best wanted out? Takes care of his own?

Down in Hattiesburg, Brett is asking why he couldn't have gotten the Sitton treatment?

Tightwad Teddy surely wanted Sitton to take one for the team...be a Packer person...work more..get paid less and Sitton said screw that. Teddy be eating crow if Aaron gets blasted time and time again by blitz heavy teams. Didn't see this cut coming...

Our OL wasn't that good to begin with...I shudder to see how bad it is now.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in
