Besides the incredible talent, he also is an upstanding father and citizen of the community. Do not open at work.
That guy's f'd up.
I don't know why SEA wouldn't re-sign him. Unless mr. picky pants doesn't think they can win a championship.
So what's the actual link to the story since the screenshot cuts it off?
Seattle has a lot of cap room, too. Hard to think of anyone on their D now that you have to plan around. Even Wagner can be neutralized.
Can we get Clowney for Sundays game?
Clowney got taken out by White Water Jesus on the goaline. One on one with a WR and he didn't move an inch. Maybe he should STFU and make a play.
Isn't the dude playing with a core injury?
Well, he's not playing any more since the Packers beat him.
AND he's getting surgery on said injury as soon as the season is over.
So yesterday then.
Kuechly announces retirement
Good for him....
saw some of his concussions and could never watch him make a tackle without cringing.
Now they interrupted the Packers vs Seahawks replay for a Kuechly lovefest.
Yep, they made the announcement now get back to the game. 
I'm much more relaxed watching this one.
Watch Clowney on the play where Graham picks up the first down to seal it. You have to ask yourself, WTF is he doing? This is your chance to be a hero, and you don't even engage? This is when a player who wants to make a difference goes out and does it, and this is why I question Clowney's play sometimes. There's no doubt he can be a force, but he has moments where he either disengages his brain and/or motor, or he just doesn't get it...
Definitely doesn't look like somebody effected by a core injury.
Had Clowney dropped into zone coverage Graham might not have been an option. And watching it again the spot was NOT as generous as I thought if you consider that his knee was on the player as he was going to the ground and moving forward. Forearm hits the ground when the ball appears to be at the yellow line, which as we know is further down field than the yard marker.

Wondered the same thing. Looks like a kid in the middle of a game of keepaway. Flailing arms like he had no idea where to be.
Clowney....Delayed Blitz? But ball came out too fast -- I guess
Yeah. My point was, what was Clowney supposed to be doing? He didn't drop and he didn't rush. If he drops, he may be able to get to Graham before the marker or he could blow Graham up so it's an incomplete pass. If Clowney was supposed to stunt and loop inside, he probably clogs the lane where Rodgers ends up throwing the ball, if not forcing Rodgers to take a sack. (Watch the play from behind Rodgers and you see the ball zips past Clowney just before he moves into that lane.) Clowney either didn't know what he was supposed to do, or thought he'd freelance and make a play, or...??? And that WTF moment is something you see out of Clowney for at least one or two plays a game.
And I agree with you YA on the spot. The ref did a great job of ball placement when you see how Graham was on the legs of the DB.

He either didn't know what to do or was badly positioned for some type of coverage. I thought maybe delayed blitz too but he was lollygagging too much for that I think. Either way, he looks lost and his being nowhere that he could help anything may have been fortuitous for the Packers.
Packers have signed CB DeShaun Amos to a reserve futuires contract. Amos played at East Carolina and was originally signed by the Giants in May 2017. he has spent the last 2 seasons with Calgary of the CFL where he had 42 tackles and 5 INTs.
We have the Smith brothers maybe now we will have the Amos brothers.
All we need now is a guy named Amos Smith
He will be the Promised One.

Or some lilly white Ivy Leaguer named Smith Amos.
Goobly already pretty active dipping into the CFL.
They do have speed up there on that big field. Getting faster never hurts a team.

Factory of Sadness strikes again....
Z (with 1 more game this season) now has 26 sacks for GB (13.5 in 2019 and 12.5 in 2020).
By comparison, Nick Perry had 21 sack in TOTAL over 6 (of his 7) seasons in GB. (2012-2018).
And Clay Matthews had 22.5 sacks in TOTAL over his final 4 seasons in GB (2015-2018).
Gute deserves a TON of credit for (a) recognizing how important a legitimate pass rusher is to a defense (see Tennessee last evening for further evidence of a what a lack of pass rush can do a to a team), (b) being willing to spend big $ in free agency to obtain one, and (c) moving on from long-standing Packer players who were not coming close to earning their salaries.

Updating a previous report, Darren Rizzi has agreed to join the New Orleans Saints as their special-teams coordinator, a source reported Friday, Feb. 1.
I have NFI why the Packers didn't hire this guy - Murphy didn't think he was a "good fit" I guess....Whatever TF that means
As Silverstein's article is being quoted as gospel as to why the Pack using its 1st and 4th round picks in the 2020 draft on Jordan Love was the wise move ... even with respect to its impact on the 2020 season, it might be interesting to look back at what the Packers (I mean Tommy) said about GB failing to land Darren Rizzi as the team's STs coach 2 years ago this month:
"Rizzi was the premier special teams coordinator on the market and was intrigued enough in the Packers' job to visit with new coach Matt LaFleur at the team’s facility last week. ... It is believed Rizzi’s price was high, so a team would have to make a considerable investment to lure him."
So there you have it, nothing the Pack could do about the situation Rizzi unreasonably wanted too much $ so he went to the Saints.
On a completely unrelated subject, New Orleans' STs finished 5th and GB's finished 29th in Rick Gosselin's annual rankings this season.
if I remember right, Ball was trying to low ball him and by the time they got the offer to him that he initially wanted, he decided to go to New Orleans.
