Well, he had this teary-eyed press conference in March to announce he was done with football forever -- and now,of course, he's changed his mind. The Packers have him on the reserve-retired list because they suspected this would happen, but management has made clear they are moving on without him.

Soooo, his agent sent a letter asking the Packers to release him so he can go sign with another team.

I don't think it's possible to understand fully unless you live here, but Packer football is practically a religion and he is a Packers icon. The thought of him going somewhere else -- after he's repeatedly stated he wanted to retire a Packer -- and the crap he's pulling now is just leaving an INCREDIBLY bad taste in people's mouths. He is REALLY tarnishing his reputation here and the love people have for him, plus it's making the team look bad.

Basically, it's a PR nightmare and I don't envy whoever has to spin this one! LOL
