If we had to cut a lineman....we cut Sitton who has not missed a game since 2011 and yet Bulaga who can't stay on the field remains...interesting. 8.5 million Bulaga vs. 6.5 million Sitton...Interesting. Bulaga's backup Jason Spriggs and Sitton's backup Lane Taylor...Interesting. I don't get it. But in Teddy we Trust...

If you thought this then why weren't you posting about Sitton being a potential cut? You didn't because you NEVER in a million years thought this would happen. Now, that it has you act as though it makes sense to you? It doesn't make sense. The spin is bizarre.

I'm not even trying to defend it. I am, however, saying that unless Ted has gone insane this was something that he was considering prior to today. Given Ted considered this possibly happening, it is reasonable to expect that he would've had idea on how to fill Sitton's spot on the starting O-line.

I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt that Plan-B is decent to the guy whose job it is to prepare a 53-man roster that will contend for the Superbowl.

Where was Plan B? We all knew we had Rodgers waiting in the wings behind Brett. There is NOBODY waiting in the wings. Lane Taylor? LMAO. Lane freaking Taylor? If it isn't Lane, then the guy starting will have taken ZERO snaps for us this pre-season at G. ZERO. So, Lane freaking Taylor or someone who has taken NO snaps. It's just not defensible in any sense. Those who defended playing Jared Cook at KC will have to wonder really hard about why we played NOBODY at G to prepare for Sitton's release other than Lane Taylor. I laugh when I type that dudes name...Lane...Taylor. Wow.

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."

Over 10 teams have already expressed interest in Sitton, yet we released him for...NOTHING. The Packer way? Nope.

I think I'm a huge minority in this forum saying that I think Lane Taylor is a very good player.
I was happy with his new contract, but I never never would have seen this coming.

Maybe they think Sitton was a locker room problem if unhappy, maybe his back is not 100%, maybe his CAP space was too high and maybe they are confident in Taylor. But even then I'd have never in my sanity released Sitton while under contract without getting at least a 2nd round pick for him.

This is unbelievable.

So the Packers couldn't make a deal to trade Sitton ? Watch and see how fast another TEAM snaps him up and pays him what he is truly worth .

Tightwad Ted gets his way again and the Packers loose again.

HOW YOU LIKE TED NOW ? [tt]

Can't wait to hear what Aaron has to say. Sitton was incredibly popular per reports.

Kinda figured it was something on sittons end. It made more sense to pay Lang next offseason and let Sitton go and I bet Sitton just didn't want to wait for that. It sucks that this happened now though and not earlier in the offseason. I wonder how close Linsley is to coming back
