This was real comforting regarding Lane Taylor:

The best guess is that the Packers will keep their other four starters in the same positions and plug in Lane Taylor, 26, at left guard. He had some rough moments in four exhibition games, but the team thought enough of him in March to sign him to a two-year, $4.15 million deal with $600,000 guaranteed.

Last year, Sitton probably didn’t play quite as well as he had. Nonetheless, he was voted to his second straight Pro Bowl and made the All-NFC North team for the seventh straight time.

“I’m somewhat surprised but not totally surprised,” a personnel man for an NFC team said Saturday night. “Yeah, he’s good, not great. You can see signs of slippage.

This seems like releasing Charles Woodson... releasing them a year too early to make sure you don't release them a year too late. As the personnel man said, there was slippage and some have suggested that Lang played better than Sitton last year... but still... there was clearly room for both.

On a completely different note... if Bob McGinn (who directly works for Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) writes an article... and PackersNews gets rights to redistribute said article... does that mean PackersNews said it? ... or MJS said it? or either or? both? etc?

I'm not complaining, just been secretly wondering what the "proper" format should be since PackersNews has started redistributing info from other sources, and thought this might be a time to ask... the common answer is probably no one cares as long as you link it.

At least we didn't trade for Sam Bradford. 🤣

For some reason, I couldn't copy your quote on the question of credit...

Wherever you see it you can credit because if they took from elsewhere that credit will be listed within the story/site. Personally, I would credit JSO because that's where Bob works, but they have a partnership now so I don't think it matters much.

I would get the move, especially the cut them a year early, if they had set the table up properly to replace them with a similar talent that either costs less or is younger. Are they banking on Tretter to move into the starting 5 when Linsley comes back? Risky. Maybe Barclay is back to form... just working on kinks... but a team with SB aspirations rarely make a decision like this with so many ???'s around it.

But the Packers have not done that... hell, if the Campen tenure, fielding a solid group under his watch and cough cough "coaching"... but to claim Taylor is a viable choice with what he has shown this preseason.. give me a break.

I think this one is on MM... his sensitivities are seemingly getting the better of him. And to be crystal clear... that there is total speculation. Until a solid reason is exposed... I will buy into that more so than any other choice currently being bantered around.

I would probably agree that Lang had a better season than Sitton, as is typical with the Pro-Bowl players tend to get voted in for name and what they did prior season rather than their actual current season.


The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!
