Very interesting feeling looking at the following text on my phone today:
Packers activate DT Harrell, Release DE Gbaja-Biamila.
from Packers.com
And there you have it - a pre-season question answered, after Ted finally saw the writing on the wall with Kabeer’s play over the last 7 games.
The last great game play of Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila was in the NFC Championship game- a game where I must say he and Kampman excelled together. It’s actually sad that his peak seasons, the Packers could never find a true bookend to amplify his pass rushing skill. Unfortunately- that’s all he ever was as a defensive end- an extremely skilled (top 3 NFL for 4-5 years) 1 skill player.
For the record in 2008 - K.G.B. had 9 tackles, half a sack, and a pass defensed (in garbage time of the Colts game). Considering he was the highest paid player on the Packers - his future on the team has been in doubt since training camp.
Onto the other news- Justin Harrell. For the record I have already officially called him a bust. Prematurely I know. I don’t usually do that because everyone gets their three years, but sometimes people just don’t feel like they will grow to be superstars… As I have said in the podcast, Nothing will make me happier than Justin Harrell being the greatest pick the Packers have had since 1957.
So Justin. Can you be a hero?
