Packers to release Nick Collins

Read here. Sad day for Collins and the Packers. Collins was a quality safety and had a bright future with the team. I’m guessing this was one of those decisions that kept TT and company up at night. If Collins had been determined to be healthy, he’s the kind of player who could have stepped right back in likely and made a significant difference on a defense that clearly was not the same without him. Yet, this is some tricky stuff and if the MD consults weren’t necessarily conclusive, I can see why the Pack has opted to just let him go.

We loved having you Nick and will remember your pick-6 against Big Ben in the Super Bowl for a long time. Thanks man.
