[QUOTE="CaliforniaCheez, post: 33672, member: 167"] With the Hillenmeyer release the Packers were able to keep Jamal Reynolds on the roster. Wolf and Thompson both seem to not worry about the cap hit of getting rid of a mistakes quickly and keeping the younger talent. Sherman as GM avoided cap hits. Sherman traded away a draft pick to move up and take Hillenmeyer, gave him a 100K signing bonus, then cut him. Ideally there should be some balance in these decisions. Another beauty was keeping Derick Combs on final cuts at a cost of 7th round pick in 2005, and cutting Frank Winters. There was little O-line back up and Sherman was lucky in 03 that linemen did not get hurt. Combs was cut before the bill was due. Many posts have been written about Sherman as a rookie GM and no experience at that side of the business screwed up. Bob Harlan did the right thing and came out as a nice guy concerned about Sherman's health and citing health woes of coaches. Hillenmeyer will remain as a reminder of Sherman as GM. He will be motivated in every game against the Packers. I can't blame or say anything bad about him as it was not his fault. He is a good player. [/QUOTE]
