Packers Are Going To Cut Smith (hot rumor)· Page 2

This would explain why we haven't heard anything about Smith being considered for a starting job, even though he has outplayed Bigby in the preseason games. If they do cut Smith for having an attitude, I won't pass judgment until I hear an explanation. Locker room chemistry does matter.

And of course, Smith was the pinhead who "guaranteed" that the Steelers would beat the undefeated Patriots in '07 (they didn't), and was demoted by the coaches the following year, I think because he was freelancing too much out there. I was hoping he learned his lesson after that, but maybe not.

Hopefully this rumor is false, because I would like to see Smith not only on the team, but starting.

The nutty thing is that Smith has been a model citizen in the locker room. He's helped all the other SS learn the position. The problem is that the lead dog isn't found of him.

Also, we hear that A Rod may have had an issue with him during the off season workouts which may have influenced the lead dog's opinion of Smith.

None of which are reasons to release Smith... I hope that I'm wrong too. I was screaming when I was having the conversation about this... you cannot cut this player, but if someone doesn't want you around and they are the decision maker... you're done.

I guess making plays does not always mean good play. Somebody could be way out of position, and still make plays.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

I would be pretty shocked if they didnt try to trade him, if its true what they think about his attitude. There has to be a team out there willing to take a chance on the guy, he has a lot of tallent and has performed pretty well so far.

Well, if Smith retires there won't be much decision making going on.

I wish i had js Packer insider because they had a article yesterday about this very subject. If anyone is a member of Packer insider maybe they can shed a little more light to this subject. I wanted to read it but didn't want to pay 40.00 for the year.

Zero2Cool (50m) : 27, 59, 91, 129 and 136 are only ones worth having of theirs.

dfosterf (55m) : What they don't have is cap space, at least presently at 5.6 mil

dfosterf (1h) : Poor bastards only have 11

Zero2Cool (1h) : Ravens ain't got crap for picks.

Zero2Cool (1h) : Aaron Rodgers is choosing between Steelers and Giants. The Vikings are officially out on him, per RapSheet

dfosterf (1h) : Current cap space 29.6 million.

dfosterf (1h) : Hobbs 2025 cap hit just under 6 million. Banks 2025 cap hit just over 9 million

dfosterf (11h) : Good luck to him.

Zero2Cool (12h) : Eric Stokes signs with Raiders

Martha Careful (13h) : Tyler Linderbaum C

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Er getting traded twice like that

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : on new site, would Fan Shout and GameDay Chat show same messages?

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : The Hall of Fame stuff probably came from a scout as Zero said; at this point though it's hard to see them moving ZT from RT

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : Regarding ZT at C, Gute had said he felt C was ZTs best position after he was drafted.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : LB Oren Burks to sign a 2-year, $5M deal with the Bengals.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Based on how it was worded at the time, probably scout.

beast (10-Mar) : I don't think the media person ever told the public the source, but Gute or LaFleur did say they thought Tom has earned his spot at OT

beast (10-Mar) : I think it was supposedly unnamed Packers source

buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Was that Gute or Lefleur or someone else?

buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Zach Tom could be a really good guard, an all pro tackle, but probably be a HOF Center. Who said that?

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : It's March 10th. I don't think anything is done.

Martha Careful (10-Mar) : if we think CB is done, we have a poor roster

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : CB and OG in FA, narrows down the top of the draft board a little
