The Packers are trading linebacker Reggie Gilbert to the Titans for a seventh-round draft choice, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Gilbert is recovering from a knee injury but is hopeful of being ready to play in the season opener. Gilbert, 26, played all 16 games last season. His 486 snaps on defense were 45.7 percent [more]

It's a bit of a surprise but he was buried on the depth chart. Still the 7th round pick they get next year may not fair any better.

He was on the bubble, potentially a guy they were gonna cut. Good to get some value for him if that's the case.

Would have rather gotten an ILB for him than a 7th at this point but oh well.

I felt like they were only gonna keep 4 OLBers again, just like last year and you couldn't cut any of the four ahead of Gilbert, so I was guessing either trade Fackrell or Gilbert is gone.

With a 7th round pick, we're basically just getting priority undrafted free agent (that was actually drafted).

Wonder if this means they like Markus Jones as a depth piece. He's what near 260? Might be able to play a little DE too.

Instead of having one guy you are likely to cut you have a different guy you are likely to cut although the different guy is admittedly one who plays a position you need more. I'd rather have the draft pick. Get the low end roster guy you want and not the low end roster guy someone else wants to get rid of.

Fair enough. My logic here is really just that what, 3 out of 4 of the top ILBs are currently hurt? I wouldn't mind having another guy there, even if he's a roster bubble sort of guy.

Now if Gute finds a ILB he likes and someone is willing to trade him for the 7th round pick we just got that would be perfect. Obviously he wouldn't trade for a guy unless he thought he might be able to help which is pretty much what you are doing with 7th round picks anyway so if Gute likes him go for it.
