The veteran linebacker took to his twitter account Tuesday morning to inform his followers that his time in Green Bay has come to an end. Per Barnett, “Just met with Ted [general manager Ted Thompson], Thanks for the great 8 years. Very blessed 2 be apart of such a great tradition and great fans.. Happy I was able to be here for the great xlv run... I will always keep a Special place in my heart for this team and city..”

Per a league source, we’ve been told the Packers will try to trade Barnett. Should the team fail to find a buyer, he’ll be released Thursday evening.

The 30-year-old out of Oregon State recorded 572 tackles and 15.5 sacks during his eight seasons in Green Bay. However, Barnett was limited to just four games in 2010 due to a wrist injury suffered against the Detroit Lions.

Where will Nick Barnett end up? Hit up the NFP Forums and let us know!

I don't really dislike many Packer players but I have to say that I won't miss seeing this jerk twice a year.

I use to like him before he started using twitter. That and his constant celebrating of tackles 30 yards down the field and whiny attitude as of late and all I can say is: Don't let the door hit you on your way out.

He would fit perfect on the bears roster because he plays defense and Jerry Angleo likes his defense.

If we did go after a FA LB, which I don't really see happening... I'd rather have Banta Cain from NE. f*** Barnett.

Trouble with Tully is that he needs surgery and won't be able to play for a bit. That and the fact that he's more of a 3-4 LB pass rusher than he is a 4-3 SLB which is where we need help.
