Ego Ferguson's stay with Packers short-lived after failed physical.......


GREEN BAY, Wis. – So much for the Green Bay Packers and Ego Ferguson.

Two days after they claimed the defensive tackle off waivers, the Packers released him after he failed his physical.

Ferguson spent all of last season on injured reserve because of a shoulder he hurt in training camp last summer. The Chicago Bears then released him last Friday, and the Packers claimed him on Monday.

Ferguson will again be subject to the waiver wire but considering the Packers were 29th out the 32 teams on the priority list, it’s unlikely another team would claim him. That would make Ferguson a free agent, and the Packers – or any other team – could eventually sign him when healthy.

The Packers were hoping to see if Ferguson could stay healthy and regain the form he showed as a rookie in 2014, when the Bears picked him in the second round at No. 51 overall. The 6-foot-2, 300-pound Ferguson played in only 20 of a possible 36 games over his three NFL season and 16 of those came as a rookie. He missed all but four games in 2015 with a knee injury. He also was suspended four games that season for performance-enhancing drugs and served that suspension while on injured reserve.

The Packers aren’t on the hook for any of Ferguson’s contract, which had one year remaining.

Now that Rodgers and Munn have split... I see multiple Super Bowls for this team in the future... no more ball and chain dragging Rodgers QBR down.  

If he'd have gotten married and settled down it would only have helped but now the bachelor chaos will tear this team apart!

I just might take Demovsky with me to Vegas; either that or he has some really good sources inside 1265...

Yeah if you want to lose some money. Going out on a limb, but I'm going with Geronimo Allison here.

Did Rodgers break up with The Wizard?

Interesting comment from the Lynch article: 

After Carroll announces they want to put more of the offense in Wilson’s hands, the team goes from being a good offense with Lynch and a great defense to a bad offense without Lynch and an above average defense. They win a playoff game because of a missed chip shot FG, then get embarrassed by Carolina, the next year they beat a bad Lions team that Stafford was carrying all by himself, then get embarrassed by the Falcons.

Lynch then want’s to comeback and play football again, but not for the Seahawks and Sherman requests a trade to a contender.

All because they wanted to make Wilson the golden boy of Seattle. Goes to show you the direction of this franchise.
