Report: NFL Quarterback Retiring to Accept Coaching Job With Packers.

Veteran quarterback Sean Mannion, who spent last season on the Seattle Seahawks’ practice squad, is retiring from the NFL and will join the coaching staff of the Green Bay Packers, according to a report from ESPN’s Brady Henderson.

Mannion is expected to work with quarterbacks and the passing game in Green Bay for coach Matt LaFleur.

Henderson noted in his report that Mannion was destined to coach, as his intelligence and understanding of the game had been praised by those associated with him.

Over Mannion’s nine-year NFL career with the St. Louis and Los Angeles Rams, the Minnesota Vikings and the Seahawks, he played in 14 games, which included three starts. He completed 60.9% of his passes for 573 yards and one touchdown to three interceptions.

Mannion was a career backup and practice squad player following a solid four-year run at Oregon State, where he threw for 13,600 yards and 83 touchdowns to 54 interceptions as a four-year starter.

The 31-year-old Mannion will now be tasked in assisting in the continued development of Packers quarterback Jordan Love, who showed plenty of promise in his first year as the starter in Green Bay.

Love completed 64.2% of his throws for 4,159 yards and 32 touchdowns to 11 interceptions as the Packers reached the NFC divisional round. Copyright ABG-SI LLC. SPORTS ILLUSTRATED is a registered trademark of ABG-SI LLC. All Rights Reserved.

Cash-strapped? Not so much as Packers anticipate active free-agency period.

To maximize their championship with Aaron Rodgers, the Green Bay Packers essentially needed to perform some gymnastics with their salary cap in recent years.

Whether it was restructuring a contract. extending a contract or outright releasing a player, general manager Brian Gutekunst needed to do whatever he could to ensure that the Packers would be able to remain competitive in what could have been the twilight of Rodgers’ career. Effectively kicking the can down the road was fruitful to an extent—the Packers strung together three consecutive 13-win seasons and reached the NFC Championship in back-to-back years.

Not only did Gutekunst’s efforts not return a Super Bowl ring, but Russ Ball, the team’s executive vice president/director of football operations and salary-cap aficionado, had a headache on his hands and a mammoth-sized hole to dig the Packers out of.
