If GM Ted Thompson wants to free up money to re-sign Nick Perry, JC Tretter, T.J. Lang, Eddie Lacy and others in the offseason, he might want to think about releasing Clay Matthews, who'll count $15.2 million against the salary cap in 2017. Do I expect Thompson to even consider cutting Matthews? Not really, but

In that case bring out the ax.
The Packers don't get 15.2 million dollars in value from him, he's still good but not that good.

With only 13 tackles and 3 sacks so far in this 2016 Season, Clay Matthews may not even reach Pro-Bowl status this season. You will however see him flinging his hair around and showing off his mussels in nationally seen commercials.

Face it, he's having a poor season as is Julius Peppers . Clay may be about to exit as did A.J. HAWK !

No doubt there are 3-4 teams out there who are more than willing to give him the full value of his current contract or more. So why would he ever agree to take less simply to play in Green and Gold?

Always felt Clay was a one-trick pony and when he moved to Middle/Inside LB I thought that was quite unselfish of him.

You folks always want a player to take a pay cut and when a player is outplaying their contract, you don't say a damn thing. You're no different and no better than the greedy owners of the NFL.

beast (8h) : Seems like he was just pissed because he was no longer the starter

beast (8h) : Campbell is right, he's rich and he doesn't have to explain sh!t... but that attitude gives teams reasons to never sign him again.

dfosterf (22-Feb) : I have some doubt about all that

dfosterf (22-Feb) : I read De'Vondre Campbell's tweet this morning (via the New York Post) Florio says that if he invested his earnings wisely, he will be good

beast (20-Feb) : I haven't followed, but I believe he's good when healthy, just hasn't been able to stay healthy.

dfosterf (20-Feb) : Hasn"t Bosa missed more games than he has played in the last 3 years?

Mucky Tundra (19-Feb) : He hasn't been too bad when healthy but I don't feel like I ever heard much about when he is

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : Issue should be solved, database cleaned and held strong working / meeting. Boom!

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : It should be halted now.

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : usually spambots are trying to get traffic to shady websites filled with spyware; the two links being spammed were to the Packers website

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : you know when you put it that way combined with the links it was spamming (to the official Packers website)

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : Yep. You can do that with holding down ENTER on a command in Console of browser

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : even with the rapid fire posts?

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : I'm not certain it's a bot.

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : I've got to go to work soon which is a pity because I'm enthralled by this battle between the bot and Zero

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : Yeah, I see what that did. Kind of funny.

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : what's 118 (besides a number)?

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : They got 118 slapped in there.

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : that's why it confused the hell out of me

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : Yeah, but this is taking a headline and slapping it into the Packers Talk

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : Wasnt there a time guests could post in the help forum?

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : Lots of fun; the spam goes back 4 or 5 pages by this point

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : I thought Guests couldnt post?

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : And gosh that's gonna be fun to clean up! hahaa

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : Oh. Why not just say that then? Geez.
