While his release may be a surprise, I don't think the timing of it is. Remember last season on the day, or day before training camp opened the Packers released Nick Barnett, Brandon Chillar, Justin Harrell, Brady Poppinga, Mark Tauscher, and a couple of free agents. I believe the same thing happened before 2011 so again, the timing isn't that surprising.
I don't think the release had anything to do with motivation, I think it had to do with not "wasting" snaps on a player they determined they had to replace. I thought they would keep him around for "insurance" but they apparently saw enough of the newcomers to feel comfortable letting him go. It also gives him a chance to catch on with another team.
