On the eve of Wild Card Weekend, the Green Bay Packers have been dealt a crucial blow. Vice President of Player Personnel and front office mainstay Jon-Eric Sullivan is reportedly finalizing a deal to become the new general manager of the Miami Dolphins.
After working with the Packers for more than two decades, helping them win a Super Bowl, and playing a key role in bringing sustained success to Green Bay, Sullivan now heads out to build a contender of his own.
While it's always good to see someone who came up through Green Bay's scouting ranks earn such a coveted job, this loss could hurt the Packers in more ways than one.
