injury settlement post-surgery
Today is National EKB liberation day
sweet, appreciate him being a solid player, but its time to part ways.
we need more of an impact at this position.
Good luck young man
We would have won every Super Bowl from 2005 until now if we hadn't drafted him. I hope his whole family gets AIDS and his wife runs away with James Campen.

@TyDunne: And #Packers ILB A.J. Hawk announces on his podcast that he has been released after nine seasons with the team: http://t.co/f0FzN381aT
@jasonjwilde: Hawk: “I spent nine great years in Green Bay. I had awesome teammates and coaches and a great medical staff and equipment staff."
@jasonjwilde: Hawk: "I loved everything about playing for one of the greatest franchises in all of sports. The fans in Green Bay are incredible."
@TyDunne: Hawk: "The fans in Green Bay are incredible. Between playing at Lambeau Field as well as seeing them on the road, they always supported us."
@TyDunne: More Hawk: "I am looking forward to my next opportunity in the NFL, but I’ll always cherish my years as a Green Bay Packer.”
@TyDunne: So as @TomSilverstein wrote last week, the #Packers will now* be about $30 million under the salary cap. A lot of money to sign their FA's.
the trifecta is complete!
slocum, jones, hawk - gone!
life is good

Can you change James Campen to Goalline?
I hope Goalline runs away with James Campen.
Darn that dyslexia!
Damn you. May you get AIDS from IowaCheese.

?..and Arsenal lost. Right?
Great team mate and guy for sure, but it had to be done. Looking forward to the defense with improved ILB play next season.
He's been released before, only to come back. I'm waiting for him to be a viking before I am sure of anything.
*note- never hated Hawk, just hated his play on the field the last few years.

Who will Packers fans kvetsch about now?

I try to stick to under performing players and coaches
Listening to Hawk's podcast. He was notified over a week ago that he was being released. Not one word leaked even though the Packer brain trust and over 4,000 credentialed reporters were at the combine.
TT is really in the wrong line of business, he should be in charge of all state secrets. Amazing.
Hawk was like a coach on the field. It was like having Dom Capers himself playing linebacker. Capers might be a little faster.
I wish him luck, but he was still A.J. Clydesdale.
Could end up being a pretty good coach one day. Seemed like he knew what to do and when to do it. His body just wouldn't let him do it. Good luck to AJ. It was never about effort or him wanting to play well.
Now if he ends up a Viking player, I'll be ecstatic.
It was time. I was very critical of Hawk these past 3 seasons which I believe was warranted. I have no doubt he was a great person but he just wasn't able to perform at a high enough level to help this team win. I wish him the best in his career (until he signs with the Vikings, which will happen in about 4 hours).
As for TT, last year was the safety position, this year will be ILB. Let's hope he finds a solution.
I hear Chilly drives a Taxi in Minny. Get him on the phone and tell him to warm up the Cab!
Good Luck AJ. Packer People all the way. Andrew Brandt has some great tweets today about AJ.
We'll never forget you CJ.
Let's hope TT can learn from his mistakes and find a true thumper or two.
now to find a LB to hold contain...
How can the Pack's D possibly function without its signal caller?
AJ was so "assignment sure" year after year after year. Sadly, his apparent assignments were to never, ever make a big play and to only jump on piles well past the line of scrimmage.
Great, great news.
This is a very, very joyous day in the Pack-Man house. I think I may even have a small celebration tonight.
I am blindsided by this.
if GB went the FA route, Casey Matthews. lol.
You know how on those animal shows when a group of environmentalists rescue a porcupine or a bear cub with a shattered pelvis and they take months to slowly bring the animal back to health and then they go off to some desolate area to re-introduce the animal back to the wild but the animal kind of hangs out in the cage even though the door is wide open and eventually the environmentalists start poking the animal with sticks and generally get pissed the animal wont take off because it's basically institutionalized....
I picture AJ like the bear with the shattered pelvis right now.
So AJ signed with the bears?
Looking for a link...
I nearly passed out trying to read Chilli's post...
Packers all-time leading tackler.
How is everyone going to be able to release their angst?

I'm assuming Cobb is about to get paid
How is everyone going to be able to release their angst?
