When healthy DBak is a hall of fame caliber LT and even playing hurt last year he was better than most starting LT in the league. Packers are making the right decision here, his health it too much of a toss up and that money can be used elsewhere perhaps on a safety in FA.

What a great day to get rid of the most expensive bench warmer in history. I hope Rodgers will get him to play. He has also stated that he was afraid to play. Good luck Jets.
At some point all football lineman reach a point of NO return. It shows in their play and eventually they retire.
