Here’s a bit of a surprise: the Packers are releasing 2020 fifth-round pick Kamal Martin, a source said.

Here I thought he'd be battling for 2nd ILB.

Freaky. Off field issues?

This is kind of a shocker to me!
I really felt that this kid had something to offer.
Certainly more than Summers.
Something doesn't smell right with this move.

I might be mistaken about this, so it might need this to be doubled checked, but it seems like he got released before ILBers Ray Wilborn and De'Jon Harris, whom he is more talented and versatile than...

So either he made a hell lot of mistakes (and STs were pretty bad, not saying that's on him, but I would be looking there) or he's in someone's dog house for something...

Or maybe he just wasn't picking up the system or showing horrible instincts. But if he got released before those last string ILBers, then there is an interesting story there... even if it's he was shitty on STs, instincts and/or attitude.

I would think there has to be a story we aren’t hearing about.
Maybe he said or did something that got him let go.
Or as was said, he wasn’t showing enough to warrant keeping him.
Maybe they are just so in need of roster spots to keep more WRs that they had to let someone go, and he was first on that list.
Or maybe he ticked off Aaron Rodgers. 😉😂

Maybe they thought he was a bad fit for the defense and special teams systems they plan to run this year, and did him a kindness by releasing him with time to catch on with a different team? Let's see if he does that and makes a 53 for some other team.

Kinda bummed they'd give up on him. Seemed like he brought some physicality and one of the few guys on D that could make a ballcarriers teeth rattle when tackling. But if you're out of position and missing tackles, that's not gonna matter much.

Zero2Cool (now) : new site, text editor gooder even on phone

beast (36m) : Oh yes, sometimes they make using a cellphone tough. I just wanted to make sure it was the correct article, & thank you for pointing it out.

jdlax (2h) : I can't believe one of my teams went out and wablammo just up and acquired one of the best players in the world overnight

dfosterf (6h) : I do very much appreciate when Beast and others pick up my slack 😊

dfosterf (6h) : I accept Beast's admonishment regarding my failure to link stuff I reference. I simply never learned to link from my cell phone.

beast (6h) : That's not what your she said 😌, she said keep going 😏

Mucky Tundra (10h) : Anything over 4 hours means he needs to get to the hospital

Mucky Tundra (10h) : Someone might want to check on Hafley and make sure his erection has gone down

Zero2Cool (11h) : LaFleur texts "bleep me I cannot sit down"

Zero2Cool (12h) : YouTube has had me last hour or two lol

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Ugh this trade happened right as my shift started and it's killing me

Zero2Cool (12h) : Parsons wore 23 in high school.

Zero2Cool (12h) : Packers just cost Lions more money with Hutchinson too huh

Zero2Cool (14h) : That is fair by me.

buckeyepackfan (14h) : Kenny Clark is the player, 2 1st rnd picks

Zero2Cool (14h) : umm... what?

wpr (14h) : I am stunned

Mucky Tundra (14h) : RICKEY SCOOPS WAS RIGHT AGAIN!!!

Mucky Tundra (14h) : ITS HAPPENING

buckeyepackfan (14h) : DEAL IS DONE

buckeyepackfan (14h) : MICAH IS COMING TO GREEN BAY!!!!!!!!!

wpr (21h) : Me do-ed it gooderly,

Zero2Cool (28-Aug) : Bahah, I was like WTF why isn't anyone posting on PP.com ... oops no one has permissions

dfosterf (27-Aug) : tell her I reckon

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
