Packers To Cut Nick Barnett

The Packers are going to cut LB Nick Barnett this week, which shouldn't come to much of a surprise as it will save Green Bay about $6.9 million in cap space. Barnett was only able to play in a handful of games last year, but he should be scooped up quickly as he is only 30 years old and is only a year removed from having 105 tackles, and 4 sacks.

The Packers should be fine as they made it just fine without him for most of last year, and still have a nice core of Matthews, Hawk, Bishop, and Zombo as their LBs.

Aaron Rodgers Is The Next Puff Daddy

(I wonder if Aaron Rodgers has seen this picture)
When Aaron Rodgers isn't getting bummed by Bob and Smack he is keeping himself busy this strike ridden off-season by creating a record label called Suspended Sunrise Recordings.

He's working with a band called The Make that has roots in Chico. They shot their first-ever video Sunday at a bowling alley in Paradise.

I tried to find a youtube song for them, but couldn't so I don't know if they are any good. However, I really hope this work, because I would love to see a Superbowl winning qb (and a white guy), be awesome at something off the field too. Especially since it always seems like every athlete who tried to make a transition into music fail.

Fuck the Whole Pick By Pick, The Draft Is Tomorrow

DP's Picks:
24. NO: Corey Liuget, DT, Illinois
25. Sea: Christian Ponder, QB, Florida State
26. Balt: Brandon Harris, CB, Miami
27. Atl: Bruce Carter, OLB, UNC
28. NE: Adrian Clayborn, DE, Iowa
29. Chi: Jonathan Baldwin, WR, Pitt
30. NYJ: Phil Taylor, NT, Baylor
31. Pitt: Mike Pouncey, OG, Florida
32. GB: Marcus Cannon, OL, TCU

BMack's Picks:
24. NO: Brooks Reed, DE, Arizona
Fills the need at DE for the Saints, and adds a good pass rusher to a team that really needs one.

25. Sea: Jake Locker, QB, Washington
I like Mallet a lot, but with all the questions surrounding being a booze bag and what not I think Seattle takes a pass. I also like Locker a lot and if Seattle can bring back Matt Hasselbeck for one more year I think he could be real good.

26. Balt: Jimmy Smith, CB, Colorado
Ravens need to improve thier defensive backfield, and Smith could end up being the 2nd best CB in this draft.

27. Atl: Adrian Clayborn, DE, Iowa
Was projected to be a top 15 pick last year, but dropped in this years rankings (nerve damage/5 less sack then 2010), could be a steal this late in the first round.

28. NE: Nate Solder, OT, Colorado
Dude is huge (6-foot-8 319 pounds), and the Patriots could be very thin on the OL depending on what happens with the CBA/free agency.

29. Chi: Gabe Carimi, OT, Wisconsin
The Bears have to find a way to protect Cutler, this is a good start,

30. NYJ: Cameron Heyward, DE, Ohio State
Big, strong pass rusher is exactly what the Jets need, but what makes him special is he is great against the run.

31. Pitt: Danny Watkins, OG, Baylor
Not a sexy pick, but lets be honest the Steelers have to find a way to protect Big Ben.

32. GB: Justin Houston, LB, Georgia
Gives the Packers another OLB pass rushing option other then just Matthews. Houston is also versitle, and could eventually be a DE, another need for the Packers.
