One other thing I’ll say here. This could fail miserably. And blow up on Gute. But I want a GM who is comfortable and confident with making the unpopular decision. Cutting Jones is extremely unpopular. Gute knew that. The easy road is just keeping him. (And maybe it was the right road, we’ll see). But I sincerely appreciate a GM who is willing to make the unpopular choice because he truly believes it’s the right thing to do. That will always have my respect.

@AndyHermanNFL The Packer way, better a year too early, then too a year too late...
@ONobro4 @AndyHermanNFL It burned him on Rodgers when he could’ve gotten a huge haul and now he’s got a chance to bring in a former all pro a season ago for the same price? Sign him up.
