This kid was just waived by the Packers which is very surprising given he flashed potential and is only 23 y/o....

KAMAL MARTINLB, UNSIGNED FREE AGENT

Packers waived LB Kamal Martin.

The move is a bit surprising as Martin, a fifth-round pick from the Packers' 2020 draft haul, logged six starts across 10 games as a rookie. Martin, still only 23 years old, began his rookie season on injured reserve with a knee issue but was able to return after five weeks. He earned one sack and 24 total tackles. Given his age and fifth-round draft pedigree, expect some teams to take interest in Martin as a depth option at interior linebacker.

Since when is 5th round pedigree a thing?  

Teams only have about 8 picks, if they use one on a player, it holds some weight especially early in their career. Using a 5th round pick means a army of scouts/coaches/firms/nerds had that player in their top 150 ranking form the 2,000 draft pool. Yes by rounds 5,6,and 7 some teams are picking up darts, smart teams are asking 50 year old scouts and they have an answer. Many built up relationships and know if they have the goods to make a decent pro. Fooling does happen and some are not ready for the meat grinder. I think 5th rounder get around 300k signing bonus too, so you better choose wisely....

he is IOL they tried moving to OLB for some reason.  Interesting.

LaFleur also credited the linebackers ahead of him on the depth chart. Martin was no higher than No. 5 at inside linebacker, with De’Vondre Campbell, Krys Barnes, Oren Burks and Ty Summers ahead of him.

The Packers experimented with Martin at outside linebacker, but he hurt his knee again and missed the preseason opener. He returned for Saturday’s preseason game against the Jets but struggled.

 

GB has tons of depth at ILB, and Martin may be nursing an injury.

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      The league would protect him.  The amount of poo Jerry Jones has had exposed and got away with?  The amount of poo Stephen Ross has got away with?  How long Dan Snyder got away with essentially fuging sex trafficking employees and poo???????  Taking down JR was a hit job.  You think the other 31 owners, especially the older ones aren’t blathering, blatant, ignorant ass, bigoted rich racists who have committed far worse things than Blue Jean Fridays?  The ones I named above have DEFINITELY did worse than what JR was accused of.  And do you think guys like Steve Smith would’ve been viewing him as a father figure if they felt that’s who he was?  JR pissed the league off with that last lockout situation and they made him pay.  They lined a new guy up to join their billionaire boys club in Tepper, and they prolly slid a pretty penny to Jonathan Jones to write the “expose,” to get JR out of here.  Again, all the owners I’ve listed above have been verified on record for doing worse poo, yet they’re still running their organizations, unquestioned.  They hand-picked Tepper long before JR was forced out, so he isn’t going anywhere.  Sadly.  fug the NFL.  (Also, to be clear, it’s always fug racism, bigotry, and sexual exploitation - not ever excusing it.  Just making the point that the NFL isn’t operating under this clear standard of justice applied to each and every case)

      I was still in the throes of a contentious divorce and my job at the time had me work on Sundays.  At the beginning of the season I tried to still work around Sundays so I could see our games.  I think after Bryce came back from the benching, I said fug it.  First time in my life I intentionally didn’t watch our games, even through the Atlanta finale.  In the past, even if we didn’t live up to expectations, I would watch to still support and at least analyze player development, strengths and weaknesses, coaching, etc., but Bryce makes all of that a moot point, so I stopped watching. Again, this is asinine,  it if he is retained (still can’t believe this is even a possibility of a conversation due to how shitty our organization has become under Tepper), I will NOT watch next season until he is gone.
