The good news for the Packers is that JA isn't due any sizable roster bonus when the new league year starts in March.  That should allow the Packers to sit idle on him (unless a great trade offer arrives), shop the free agency market, go through the draft and THEN make their JA decision.Unless I am missing something, Gute and the Packers would be absolutely nuts to cut JA before the draft.  I would even say that you hang on to him, until final cutdowns and then make a decision, unless he agrees to a favorable restructure or a solid trade is made.  Of course, if he suffers a major injury between now and Sept., then you cut bait.</blockquote>
