Gute seems to get rid of vets when when he thinks he has a youngster ready to step up into that spot, and the Packers have young guys in Enagbare and Van Ness that Gute probably wants to get on the field more.


Plus Preston Smith was probably going to be released in the off-season due to contract reasons.

As Preston base contract jumps from $3.2 million to $12 million.


Also, as I said, Packers seem to be shopping DE Smith and OT Dillard.
