slowmo posted:Per ESPN, Packers DB coach Jason Simmons will be leaving the Packers to join the Panthers in the same position. Somewhat strange, because Simmons has been with the Packers for 9 years in various capacities, and is making a lateral move the Packers could block if they wanted.

Kris Richards is available, since the Cowboys didn't retain him after hiring McCarthy. Don't know, though, if Pettine would be comfortable having a guy who is qualified to immediately replace him on his staff.
Also, Gutey says the Packers looked to add an offensive skill position player but "the opportunities weren't or of sound value" at the in-season deadline. http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-41090725-4
That’s a little alarming.
On one side of the argument, not many of our young guys developed well over the past 9 years. Jaire has, maybe King, Savage started strong and faded a little. The list of guys who didn’t develop over 9 years or even played better after leaving is much longer. Perhaps it’s Pettine and MLF wanting their own guy too.
On the other hand, if you were not sold on him to the point you let him walk, why not shit can him after the season? That smells like complacency.
