So this is all about cap space because we lack a pass rush and smith was one of the better ones this year. We can pretty much chalk this season up.

I think losing CB Douglas last year hurt more than DE Smith this year and they turned the season around after trading CB Douglas, so I'm not sure we'll see a huge difference and as long as the DEs stay healthy, I'm not sure our odds of winning has changed that much.

I don't know his cap number, I know he has not generated as much pressure, but neither have our other edge guys.

He is the only one who consistently set an edge.

I thank him for his time with us, and wish him the best in all non-Packer games

Go Packers!!!!

The Packers traded Preston Smith prior to Tuesday's deadline--a move that will give Mosby and Cox more snaps moving forward as the Packers search for more pass rush juice.

I've been reading/hearing people say this was going/should happen for a while.
Personally I am sorry to see him go. I was hoping he would be able to retire as a Packer. He has had some good seasons in GB. 2024 wasn't one of them.
Seeing what we can get out of the younger players will be interesting.
The bottom line is they were going to release him at the end of the year because of his contract in 2025 and 26. They restructured him a couple of times to get him in line with his on field performance.
In a twisted away it is sort of like trading him for Willis. Packers are out 1/2 a year of his services and gained 2 years from Malik.

Packers don't treat veterans well at all ...

I don’t know. I read all the factors for moving him.
MLF’s team is youngish and indisciplined at times.
I wonder if the team will miss the veteran leadership in the room?

Zero2Cool (3-Dec) : And the reason I think it is BS, is Bill isn't going to pine for a job that's not available. He respects the whole coaching people thing

Zero2Cool (3-Dec) : I think it's BS. Jets thought win now with Rodgers, not happening.

beast (3-Dec) : The rumor could be BS... but supposedly Belichick wouldn't like the Cowboys because then he'd have Jerry Jones butting in all the time

beast (3-Dec) : And Belichick wants an owner that will be hands off and let a head coach fully steer the boat, and supposedly Jaguars owner is hands off

beast (3-Dec) : Jaguars job because it's the closest job that might be available near his house in Jupiter Florida. And Belichick wants an owner that....

Zero2Cool (3-Dec) : No reason to want Jaguars job, or Rodgers.

Zero2Cool (3-Dec) : Doubs still in protocol

Mucky Tundra (3-Dec) : That's an...interesting rumor

Zero2Cool (1-Dec) : Kickin ain't easy.

beast (1-Dec) : Anders Carlson hasn't missed a FG since Packers released him, including 50+ yarders... but has missed a couple of extra points

Mucky Tundra (1-Dec) : Justin Tucker with a missed PAT, what's going on with him this year?

Mucky Tundra (1-Dec) : That and just missing some games that were toss ups based on the Vegas line

Mucky Tundra (1-Dec) : Regarding pfow and Pick'em, I think he leaned too hard on "Everyone is picking Team A so I'll pick Team B"

beast (1-Dec) : I think Packers 1st playoff game might be Packers @ Seahawks, which we'll have in the regular season in two weeks
