GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP)—The Green Bay Packers released Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, the franchise sacks leader, on Saturday.

The defensive end had been with the team for nine seasons and appeared in 124 games, starting 74.

He had 74 1/2 sacks for Green Bay, passing Reggie White’s 68 1/2 in 2007.

General Manager Ted Thompson issued a statement Saturday, thanking Gbaja-Biamila for his contributions and wishing him well.

Gbaja-Biamila also issued a statement, saying his time with the team has been a “blessing that is beyond words.”

The team also activated defensive tackle Justin Harrell from the physically unable to perform list.

4 or 5 years ago he could've been a OLB in Wade's scheme, like Ware, but now, I don't think KGB can pull it off. Good player, nice career.

A lot of Pack fans are confused as well because the guy that's gonna replace him has been no great shakes. Truth is the guy is washed up. You don't cut a "Ring of Honor" type guy unless he is done.

Not just this year, dude's been invisible for 2-3 years now. He was GB's version of Ware but the production has really dropped off the last few years. Kampman brings more pressure for em now.

He can prolly throw better than Brad...

He had 9.5 sacks last year, that ain't invisible....

Give him a month and a half to rest, then bring him in for the Super Bowl.

 

[diekrazy]
