GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers released three-time Pro Bowl guard Josh Sitton on Saturday, making an unexpected change on their offensive line.The 30-year-old Sitton had started 112 of 121 regular-season games since being drafted in the fourth round in 2008 out of Central Florida. He was one of the leaders on a front five that protects quarterback Aaron Rodgers.The Packers other notable cuts Saturday to get to the 53-man limit for the start of the season included former starting linebacker Sam Barrington and wide receiver Geronimo Allison, an undrafted free agent who drew praise from quarterback Aaron Rodgers during training camp.Sitton played through injuries, including a torn ligament in his left big toe in 2014. But the Packers have financial decisions to make up front, with the contracts of left tackle David Bakhtiari and left guard T.J. Lang expiring after this season.Sitton was entering the last year of a five-year, $33.75 million extension signed after the 2011 season. He was due to count $6.85 million against the cap this year.We want to thank Josh for his contributions during his time in Green Bay. He has been an important part of the success we have enjoyed on the field, general manager Ted Thompson said. While these decisions are never easy, this was done with a focus on what is best for the team and the growth of the offensive line.The Packers drafted two linemen this year, Jason Spriggs out of Indiana in the second round and Kyle Murphy in the sixth round out of Stanford.JC Tretter has taken over at center with two-year starter Corey Linsley out with a hamstring injury.The Packers placed Linsley on the reserve/physically unable to perform list, which will keep him from practicing and playing for at least the first six weeks of the season.Well, expectation of the offensive line, I think we clearly could have one of the best lines that weve had here, coach Mike McCarthy said recently. I think Ive said that the last two years and frankly health is always important.Another veteran Packer, punter Tim Masthay, was released on Tuesday after the team claimed Jacob Schum off waivers from Tampa Bay. Masthay had been with Green Bay for six seasons.The Packers also are without a long snapper after they released Rick Lovato, a first-year player who joined the team near the end of last season.By letting go of Barrington, a fourth-year pro who started eight games in his career but missed most of last season with a foot injury, the Packers could be counting on a youthful tandem of Jake Ryan and Blake Martinez as their starting inside linebackers.Green Bay selected Martinez in the fourth round of this years draft out of Stanford.Green Bay cut 16 players Saturday, including Brandon Ross, which leaves undrafted rookie Brandon Burks as the third running back behind Eddie Lacy and James Starks.The Packers placed a pair of undrafted free agents, defensive tackle Tyler Kuder and center Kyle Steuck, on injured reserve.Green Bay also moved defensive tackle Mike Pennel and cornerback Demetri Goodson to the reserve/suspended list. Both players will miss the first four games for violations of the NFLs drug policy.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys .

Cheap Justin Jones Jersey . - Blake Griffin had 30 points and 12 rebounds, J. The Cincinnati Bengals have released struggling kicker Mike Nugent, days after he missed his sixth extra point of the season.Nugent, an Ohio native and All-American at Ohio State, has been with the Bengals since the 2010 season. He set Bengals records in 2011 with 132 points and 33 field goals made, and also shares the franchise record for longest regular-season field goal (55 yards).Mike is a tremendous teammate and has been an integral part of the Bengals for seven seasons, Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said in a news release. This was a difficult decision, but one we felt was in the best interest of the football team moving forward. We have enjoyed getting to know Mike over the years and wish him the best.The team picked up Randy Bullock off waivers from the Pittsburgh Steelers in his place.It has been a difficult season for Nugent, who was 23-of-29 on field goals in addition to the missed extra points. Nugent missed an extra point attempt in four straight games, in addition to a missed PAT against the Redskins, a game that ended in a tie.Nugent drew the ire of fans this season for his repeated misses, and he was booed at Paul Brown Stadium while lining up for kicks last week.You have to earn the cheers and earn the respect, and Im not doing that right now, Nugent told ESPN after the game Sunday. To be honest with you, Im earniing the reactions with the way Im kicking.dddddddddddd I think the last couple of weeks Ill have really good days and really good weeks except for one kick.The Bengals have stuck by Nugent all season and Lewis did not seem inclined to release him in lieu of one of the available kickers on the market before Tuesday. However, Bullock became available this week. He appeared in one game with the Steelers.Lewis said Nugents struggles were a little more technical than mental, but for a kicker thats all the same, its like a golf swing.Its really contagious this year (kickers misses) and I dont know why its been what its been but its just part of it. But theyve got to make the kick because if youre in a tight football game its an emotional thing you dont want to go through ... when you score a point and you go for two and you dont get it, its almost like a win for the defense. It takes away from what you just did.Bullock is 3-for-4 on extra points this season in two games with the Giants and Steelers. He is 95.8 percent on PATs in his four-year career, and has made 81.3 percent of his field goals. Bullock has had stints with the Texans, Jets, Giants and Steelers since 2012.The Bengals play the Steelers this week.
