Former Packers guard Sitton agrees to deal with Bears
So, he’d have played this year and been better than whatever you are replacing him with. “There’s no excuses when it comes to that – any time of the year, whether it’s hot weather or cold weather”. From 2013 to 2014, he averaged just 9.5 total pressures; playing guard this season, he allowed just 16 over 17 games (including the playoffs).

The question now becomes where the accomplished veteran plays. Versatile defensive back Micah Hyde has the chops to fill the starting role if Burnett isn’t deemed quite ready for the opener. He was a second-team All-Pro by the Associated Press last season.
There is no better pass-protecting guard in the National Football League than Josh Sitton. Lane Taylor or Don Barclay could be the starter, but there might be other shuffling that occurs this week. The 34-year-old – the ninth most accurate kicker in league history – struggled at the end of last season, making two of his last five field goal attempts. Sitton was flagged for 10 penalties, including a pair in Green Bay’s playoff loss to the Arizona Cardinals. On the surface, Green Bay has weakened itself on offense while strengthening the line of a division rival.
“We want to thank Josh for his contributions during his time in Green Bay”.
Chicago finished 1-3 this preseason, as the Bears struggled offensively as they did in 2015.
The Packers open their season next Sunday at Jacksonville.
The unit’s biggest weakness is up front.
Gould’s accomplishments become all the more remarkable because of his kicking his entire home-game career not only outdoors, but also in one of the NFL’s legendarily hard kicking venues, Soldier Field.
Simply put, this isn’t an instance of say the Seattle Seahawks placing a once great offensive guard such as Jahri Evans out to pasture-who’s clearly past his prime, which also happened among Saturday’s notable releases.
A road grader in the run game, Sitton would form quite the duo at guard if he signs with the Bears, pairing with three-time Pro Bowler Kyle Long, who reportedly just received a four-year contract extension.

Sitton was in the final year of his current contract. They believe in right guard John Jerry, and giving Sitton a deal like the one he got from the Bears would have been counter-productive to their hopes to lock down center Weston Richburg and left guard Justin Pugh to long-term deals in the not-so-distant future.
