Sitton was released by the Packers on Saturday, according to ESPN.com.
EDGE Analysis
Sitton's release came out of the blue, as he is generally believed to be one of the best guards in the league. However, the Packers decided to save the money on his contract, and will head into the season with a new starting left guard. It should not take long for Sitton to find a new home.
If he leaves without a contract, his next visit will be with New Orleans. Green Bay's decision to move on from Sitton was a head-scratcher and now the division-rival Bears have a chance to hit the Packers where it hurts. The Bears are vulnerable at left guard with second-round rookie Cody Whitehair set to replace Matt Slauson. If he chooses the Bears, Sitton and Kyle Long would make a formidable duo at guard.
