Packer Report: Jarrett Bush Looks Poised To Leave

It may be sad news for some, but everyone's favorite Green Bay Packer—Jarrett Bush—looks like he's played his last game for the green and gold.

Bush, 25, is drawing interest from both the Tennessee Titans and Baltimore Ravens. He finished his visit with the Titans on Monday, and is scheduled to travel to Baltimore Wednesday to gauge the Ravens' interest in the fourth-year cornerback.

Bush is a restricted free agent, but Green Bay only gave him the $1.01 million tender, meaning the Packers can match any offer he receives. But if they choose not to match it, Green Bay will not receive any compensation.

Many remember Bush for his monumental gaffe in the 2007 NFC Championship game, and rightfully so. He had a chance to fall on a fumble during a punt return that would have all but sealed the game for the Packers. Instead, Bush tried to pick it up and run, and the Giants recovered after his attempt was unsuccessful.

And don't forget his special teams play last season—Bush led the Packers with six special teams penalties. He rarely played on defense, so his value (if there is such thing) on special teams may need to be replaced.

Barring some unforeseen circumstance (like Ted Thompson mistakenly deciding to match any offer he receives,) Packers' fans will need to find a new whipping boy for next season.

Kuhn Continues His Visits, Montomgery's Cancelled

Packers fullback and restricted free agent Jon Kuhn is scheduled to meet with the Cincinnati Bengals on Wednesday. Kuhn finished up his visit with the Arizona Cardinals over the weekend, but no offer was announced.

Green Bay has Korey Hall ahead of Kuhn on the depth chart, so Kuhn may leave. He was offered the same tender as Bush, $1.01 million with an opportunity to match, so Green Bay would receive no compensation for him leaving.

Another of the Packers' free agents, Michael Montgomery, had his visit with the Atlanta Falcons cancelled over the weekend.

It appears any interest for the defensive end has cooled considerably, and Green Bay has already made it public that they will not be resigning him (he does not fit their new 3-4 system.)

Packers Miss Out On Olshansky

While I was one of the biggest supporters of signing Chargers' free agent defensive end Igor Olshansky, Packers general manager Ted Thompson apparently was not.

Olshansky signed a four-year, $18 million (eight million guaranteed) contract with the Dallas Cowboys last Friday. The Cowboys filled a large hole in their 3-4 defensive line with the signing, and left the Packers still searching for their respective answer at that spot.

A lot came out about Olshansky's behavior at the end of last season, and that might have turned off Thompson from making a serious run at him.

It was said that Olshansky completely shut it down at the end of last season—leading to his benching for the last four games—and had a bad attitude towards teammates.

Green Bay has been strict about bringing in "character guys," so it's entirely possible that Thompson wanted no part of signing a potential locker room hazard.

Too bad, because Olshansky the player would have really helped the Packers next season.
