After watching the horror show that was the Packers last season, and to follow it up with the mamby pamy let's not get hurt pre-season and then follow that up with the release of one of their best players?

Something is very wrong at 1265. This is not the stable "winning" org everyone has come to believe that it is. How can Ted Thompson just let a player walk who is UNDER CONTRACT? Especially, given there is no Aaron Rodgers behind Josh Sitton. It's absolutely insane to do this. He could've held onto him and traded him after cuts without this getting out in the wind. He gave up major bargaining power on top of his weak kneed response to just letting him go because Josh wanted him to?

The mojo in Packer land is not good. No Jordy on the field this entire preseason and playing scared throughout and then this with Sitton coming off last year's nightmare?

Our best WR is an unknown with his knee, and our best OL is now getting to have his way because he wants to leave over money. Not the hallmark of a top flight organization.

Could be the fall of the empire. Intangibles aren't in our favor.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Can we at least wait until Monday after the team has scoured the waiver wire, or until we know what actually happened with Sitton before we assume the place is about to self destruct? This roster will be dynamic AT LEAST through the weekend, so lets breath for a minute or two here.

We're starting to deal with our team like the Patriots do. I many guys do they cut or let walk instead of folding to player's demands.

This Sitton deal is about money, and they can now use his salary to pay Tretter, Bahktiari, or Lang.

When Teddy Bridgewater went down with his destroyed knee, the Packers were then favored in all 16 of their games. I wonder how the recent releases will change that.

The place HAS self destructed...did you watch last year? Oh, sure, write that we made the playoffs and won a game but did you watch the chaos on the field and the issues that were going on? It was a trainwreck...total and complete. This offseason has been a soft let's not get hurt puss out program and then they release their best OL because he was unhappy over money? I applauded Ted for how he handled Brett. Perfectly. Best thing he did in his time here minus doing the no brainer of picking Rodgers as he fell down the board. Now, he's folded, completely, and set a terrible precedent. Someone wrote TJ Lang shouldn't ask for money? Why would he...he can go get it elsewhere next year. I think the opposite...ANY Packer who doesn't like his contract can just get his release because he's set a new precedent with letting Sitton walk.

Finally, and again for emphasis...WHO is taking his spot? There is no Rodgers behind Favre here. There's GARBAGE behind him. Barclay has been floated. Don Barclay? That's like saying we covered for releasing Rodgers by trading for Joel Stave. C'mon, man. This is ridiculous.

If they sign Sitton to a lower contract, then your comments will look foolish.

Let's just let this next week play out before getting hysterical. It is 53 players, this and future cap space and budgets.

Playing chicken or poker, don't overreact.

I don't even care what happens with Sitton going forward. Have you not seen enough disarray starting in the 4th quarter in Seattle? It's not gotten any better. Last year was beyond belief as to the way this org operated. The coaching changes made after Seattle, the take back late in season of play calling...NOBODY does things like that. NOBODY. Rodgers had the worst body language of any guy in the league. Clearly, miserable over what he had to deal with week in week out. When your MVP looks pissed and your org is clueless trotting out Davante Adams game in game out and does nothing to rectify it when it could've is a bad sign.

Now, it's gone on and played scared all pre season which is total pussy for the game of football. That is not leadership. That is pussy. Now, it's released it's best OL with NOBODY behind him. Literally NOBODY. Sitton is going to re-sign with us? Really?

Thank you. There isn't a packer fan on this board who likes this when they first hear of it, but lets at least let the dust settle. I could see the Packers kicking the tires on a DL, RB, maybe a punter, I'm guessing an OL (Evans?). Can we at least attempt to pull our head out of the water before we start to inhale?

Sitton will not be re-signed with the Packers this year.
