Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dantés" data-source="post: 858033" data-attributes="member: 12283">GB let Tretter walk because he hit FA a year before Linsley, and the latter was entrenched as the starter. It would not have made sense to give Tretter a 2nd contract while you have a starter in house and still on a rookie deal. And while Linsley was not the model of healthy early in his career, Tretter's durability was another reason why he was allowed to leave and why he signed for less money. He missed almost his entire rookie year on the PUP list. He missed two months during his second season on IR (he was designated to return). He had one healthy season, during which he spent the majority of the year backing up Linsley. He then missed the final 9 games of his last season in Green Bay. So in four years with the Packers, he missed 33 games with injury. To his credit, he's been healthy for every game since leaving. That's great for him. But I don't think he's markedly better than Linsley. I think they're comparable players, and Green Bay's choice in which one to keep makes perfect sense to me.</blockquote>
