Packers release Hawk
After much consideration, the Green Bay Packers have announced the release of linebacker A.J. Hawk.
The linebacker was scheduled to make $10 million in 2011, a number the team simply couldn’t justify.
General manager Ted Thompson said it is strictly a business decision and they hope to retain Hawk.
The team plans on trying to negotiate a new contract with the linebacker that will make more financial sense for the team.
Hawk has been overshadowed by fellow linebacker Clay Matthews but was still one of the team’s defensive leaders.
