For the second straight Wednesday, Green Bay Packers fans are asking how the team will replace a safety who has been playing significant snaps this season. A week ago, we were trying to figure out how the team would adjust to trading away Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, who had missed essentially no snaps in the last two-plus seasons. This week, it’s the release of hybrid safety/slot corner/dime linebacker Jermaine Whitehead that has fans of the Green and Gold wondering what is to come.
We learned a bit more about the reasons for Whitehead’s release late on Tuesday, as you’ll see in today’s Cheese Curds, though the explicit rationale has not yet been discussed publicly.
