Of Course Josh Sitton Ended Up on the Bears

It’s got to be a trap. Undisclosed medicsn condition?

I knew he was joining the Bears. Bad line and the same part of the country. Plus they just overpaid for Long. He can save Cutler from sacks but not INTs. “Jay will throw us the ball” Charles Woodson.
He may be the Bears kicker too..how do you cut Gould, there is nobody out there that I know of.

Sucks the grizzled warrior ended up with a division rival,but at least it’s only the Bears-he could’ve ended up with an actual contender that needed line help *cough* Seahawks *cough, cough*.

Interesting. I seem to have offended “Big Brother’s” sensibilities. Too much truth all at once. Overwhelming I guess. My posts were erased without communication.
I know it isn’t due to the profanity because every third post on this site has profanity. I guess I’ll post it again and see if Big Brother intervenes once more. Only cowards censer.
As an experiment I will block out the profanity and see if this one is erased by Monty’s minions (Is Monty really against free speech? Really?). Do Packer fans support censorship and truth suppression? I know Fatguts does but what about the rest of you?
I read an article — I think it was CBS Sports — that TT likely knew all along he would cut Sitton but intentionally waited in order to narrow Sitton’s options and interest from other teams. This sends a signal to everyone in the organization that TT is the boss and all should bow and quake in fear. It also means Sitton gets much less money than he otherwise would have. So Ted can say, “See, others did not think he was worth so much. I told you he overvalued himself.” It was also likely to cause Sitton to sign a one year contract so Ted could say when Sitton signed again then with yet another team, “See, that next team did not like him so much either. It clearly did not work out.” Then, on the third team’s contract Sitton would be another year older and yet again be signed for less than what he would have made in a multi-year deal if he had been waived in the off season. Also, by now all other teams have made provisions for starting guards so signing Sitton is only just so much of an upgrade thus lowering the money due to reducing the possible performance differential.
Ted’s big secret plan backfired though. Sitton signed with Chicago for 21.75 million with 10 of that guaranteed.
1) Some of you Ted Sheep are getting a little itchy in all that wool?
2) Against all odds Sitton DID get a fair contract, paying more than what the Packers were paying. Sitton actually makes more money than he would have had the Packers not cut him.
3) He did go the rival Bears. So Ted downgraded his own team and upgraded a rival. All while alienating the team and making his weaselly machinations fairly obvious. Smooth Ted.
All that he hoped to accomplish by timing the cut as he did was not, in fact, accomplished. He tried bad to hurt Sitton to help himself look good. Both failed to the detriment of the Packers. In fact, it failed worse than most appreciate. He could have had a new guard working with the 1st team all through training camp, developing chemistry/experience. But he could not have that AND hurt Sitton as badly as possible, could he?
Part of Ted’s plan did work though. He removed a leader so that more attention is on Ted = “Oh Ted, you made the team successful without Sitton. You are such a brilliant man?” — say the Ted Sheep. Ted has to put up with MM because he does not want to actually do the work — or accountability — of coaching and also Aaron Rodgers — though Aaron’s “leadership” is of no threat to Ted anyway — because he is the QB. After that? Get rid of them.
Ted also has MM locked up as his bootlicker and enabler. Proof? The roster:
1. TED to MM: “Hey Mikey, we need Blake Martinez to start and look good so everyone knows I’m a brilliant drafter.”
MM to TED: “But, Master, not counting Clayfish, Blake is our 5th best ILB…”
TED to MM: “Mikey… did I stutter?”
MM to TED: “Oh so sorry, Master, but I thought you would want to know Blake is really a practice squad guy…”
TED to MM: “You thought!? You THOUGHT?! You are not paid to think, you fat bearded TOAD!”
MM to TED: “I’m so soooooo soooorrry. But Barrington and Bradford will be upset and everyone knows they are better players…”
TED to MM: “No problem. Cut them both. That way even if Blake plays poorly he will continue to start and my rookie class will look great as he is bound to run into a few tackles every game. I am so tired of that ‘He should have drafted Kentrell Brothers drivel’.”
2. TED to MM: “Speaking of the brilliance of my draft class, let me tell you about Trevor Davis — ”
MM to TED: “Hey, it is OK Master, not every pick works out, not even a 5th rounder. I’m sure next time — ”
TED to MM: “Tell me you did not just interrupt me! No, better yet, shut up. Go stand in the corner over there with your face down. Listen with your Toad ears or holes or f***ing fly-catching sonar or whatever Toads use.”
MM shuffles over to the corner of his own office.
TED to MM: “OK. Now stand there and do not dare to look upon me. OK, this Trevor kid, great great Great Great pick. A steal in round 5. Got it? Here is what you are going to do. Keep him on the roster. Got it?”
MM to TED (muffled by wallpaper): “But, he is our 7th best WR.”
TED to MM: “Then you CUT #5 and #6, AMIRITE?”
MM to TED: “But, well, we have to keep at least 53 players and we are only going to have 3 ILBs……”
TED to MM: “Fine, have it your way. Keep 7 receivers on the roster.”
MM to TED: “But, Master, no team does that. It is never done. It will make us look silly….”
TED to MM: “While you have addressed me with the correct honorific, YOU need to understand WE will make history together by YOU making ME look good. The fact we keep 7 receivers just because Trevor is such a brilliant pick will make it look even more brilliant. The day comes when the whole world will recognize me as its Master. Why would they not? I am always right. AMIRITE?!”
MM to TED: “Praise be to Ted.”
PS Sitton was ranked the #6 performing guard last year but, Ted Sheep are right to commend Ted, this preseason Sitton’s performance has dropped all the way down to… #6 ! 6 million for the #6 guard in the NFL is dirt cheap nowadays, a freaking steal even.

Overall, him going to the Bears is one of the best outcomes given the situation. With him goes the playbook. So, had he gone to AZ, NE, SEA, CAR, we would be in for a quick playoffs elimination (or sure SB loss provided we miraculously get there to face NE).
