“Need a Whole Cleanup”: NFL Fans Left Astonished as Packers Cut LB Hours After Celebrating His Big Day

The Green Bay Packers are making headlines after a very interesting decision. The team is gearing up for a season without 4X MVP QB Aaron Rodgers for the first time in 17 seasons. And now, messiah Jordan Love carries the responsibility of taking over the legacy in Green Bay as the new generation of QB talent. After spending three seasons as the backup to Aaron Rodgers on the team, it is time for this 24-year-old to take center stage with the confidence his teammates have in him.

But most recently, the focus of fans shifted to a shocking decision taken by the team. And this decision involves the Packers cutting out one of their players, hours after celebrating a very special occasion for this player on social media. 

Jonathan Garvin gets a shocking surprise on his birthday

24-year-old LB Jonathan Garvin has been with the team since being drafted in 2020. In three seasons, the outside LB has played in 38 games for the Packers, with almost 673 defensive snaps. Jonathan Garvin was on the final year of his four-year $3.4 million rookie contract. And as he celebrated turning 24 on Friday, the team announced a shocking decision regarding this young outside LB.

On the 28th of July, the team celebrated the birthday of Jonathan Garvin on social media. The team shared a message on social media wishing the 24-year-old a happy birthday, along with a smiling photo of him in a Packers uniform. But just a few hours after this celebration, HC Matt LaFleur announced that they have released the young outside LB from the team. Jonathan Garvin was one of the three players, including Jaire Alexander and Rasul Douglas, to miss out on the majority of the OTAS, and even a portion of the minicamp.

Fans left shocked after the team’s decision

Fans took to social media to share their varying perspective on the events that transpired for Jonathan Garvin. Some fans were criticizing the Packers for being insensitive. 

“Packers need a whole clean up in the offices over there, been the same way for far too long. You can be a business and run it that way while still maintaining humanity. Like c’mon”

“That’s cold. I’m sure the other players didn’t notice anything.”

“I expect better from my team”

“Life in the NFL. Minute by minute”

While others came forward to point out that maybe the social media team may not be in the loop about the front-office decisions of the Packers

“The social media team doesn’t know who’s gonna get cut”

“Why do people think that the Packers Twitter team is run by the front office? These interns don’t know what moves the front office will make”

“They really need to start giving the all-important social media team access to insider information about roster moves. SMDH.”

 Despite being cut by the Packers, do you think Jonathan Garvin will catch the interest of another team in the league? Let us know in the comments below.
