Title: Packers GM screws the pooch royally!!!!!
Post by Bouve on Mar 10^th, 2003, 9:42pm

Everyone knows by now that LB Nate Wayne was cut but I didn't see that anyone had posted this:

Wayne was due a $1.5 million salary and $75K bonus at 12:01AM on monday. However the GM didn't officially release him until this afternoon and now the Packers will have to eat some of the salary and still pay him his bonus.

That sucks in GB land. Kinda weird that this decision was made this late. This offseason has been kind of screwy wouldn't you say? ???

Not exactly accurate. This is his agent's version of events. The Packers see it differently.
