Forget about Colt Lyerla returning to the Packers — either as a tight end or a fullback. The former Oregon star was arrested in Washington County at 2 a.m. Saturday morning...

Had he been kept on IR, or, better, the practice squad, he would have been likely to stay in GB and at 1265 Lombardi more.

Hope the guy gets things together and gets another chance. And, though I wish it were in GB -- Rodgers is not going to be the TE of the future and neither is anyone else on roster -- I doubt it will be now.

It's not the Packers responsibility to keep him out of trouble. I'm glad they parted ways. He didn't show enough in training camp to be a member of the practice squad.

I'm only saying his odds would have been better the other way.

Though, in terms of the possibility of improving the TE position, I think it might be worth it to give him another tryout in TC next year. I lack people's confidence in Bostick/Rodgers/Taylor. And Quarless is what he is, a really solid #2. But that's a different question.

No one's entitled to a specific "network."

Although I agree with Wade that being with the Packers may have decreased the likelihood or frequency of his drug abuse, it still appears that this leopard isn't changing his spots. He had myriad warnings and still makes the same mistakes. Good bye. The NFL, and likely a lot of other jobs just aren't cut out for him.

I was looking forward to seeing Lyerla replace Kuhn next year as a FB. But not if he's gonna be an asshole.

But they have to earn it. The guy should have played better if he really wanted a spot on a roster or practice squad. He didn't, and thankfully the Packers didn't keep him around. They very well might have had some plans try him out again later, but I'd be surprised if they do now. He didn't make it two months (I think it was actually less) without getting into trouble again. Who knows what he will get into over the course of the next year. Seems like much more trouble than he is worth judging by his training camp. Hopefully the Packers have moved on for good.
