Packers axe safety Jermaine Whitehead

Jermaine Whitehead's career with the Packers . . . is done.

Whitehead . . . was released two days after he was ejected for slapping New England Patriots center David Andrews in the head during the second quarter of Green Bay's 31-17 loss.

It wasn't the sole reason for his release, but it may have sealed his fate. The Packers decided to use cornerback Tramon Williams, not Whitehead, at safety to replace the traded Ha Ha Clinton-Dix against the Patriots. Fellow safety Josh Jones also saw his role increase significantly after the trade.

"The Whitehead penalty was clearly a classic reaction to the first guy," McCarthy said Monday. "And they catch the second guy. Whatever your feeling is, the severity of the penalty is a whole other topic. But . . . you can't have that. You can't react to those types of things. Yeah, we need to be better there."

Whoa, there really is a new sheriff in town. Can you imagine Ted Thompson making a swift, decisive move like this? Maybe Whitehead was already on the way out, but it's nice to see the concept of "last straw" appearing in Green Bay.

I mean run some basically man beating routes to get MVS or St. Brown on a 5 yard catch and run crossing pattern if nothing else!

Once again some of you need to realize Mark Murphy is the only person who can fire Mike McCarthy.
Guttekunst controls player personal only!

Maybe he will trade/,release enough players to piss Mike off and Mike will leave.

I doubt Mike McCarthy is even aware that the players have been cut or traded....he’s to busy staring down at his play sheet.😂

If you're going to fire Whitehead simple for reacting in self defense of himself and not being a star then management should be fired for the same bullshit such as Mike McCarthy be fired for not be willing to make adjustments and Gute fired for picking Cobb over Nelson.

Unless there is more than what we currently know (which I assume there is)

Can't remember his name.

I do remember Lacey being benched for that.

Also I still think the RB coach that year (a former NFL FB) had a thing for oversized RB with power even if they couldn't do other things which might of given Harris an edge as someone else outplayed him in training camp IMO. Though neither would end up doing much.

beast (12h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (12h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (8-Jan) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (8-Jan) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games
