Clay Matthews Should Not Come Back to Green Bay In Any Capacity
All of the sudden on Friday night noise started about a Clay Matthews reunion to the Green Bay Packers. The people who started that noise were Aaron Rodgers, David Bakhtiari, and Randall Cobb. Each of those guys wanted Matthews back with the Packers. Why? I’m not sure. Mike Florio says ‘It’s not a joke’, but it’s an anonymous source. While Florio has got some things right, I’d like to wait to see if Schefter or Rapaport have a similar story. If they’re serious, they’re also delusional. Matthews might be a great teammate, but he’s also washed up. The guy couldn’t rush the pass rusher two years ago, what makes you think it’s better now? Here’s my rant on it.
Did a rant on not wanting Clay Matthews back. Most of these live on Instagram and TikTok. Follow me there too if you like our content! #GoPackGo #Packers https://t.co/J3OTOZ45h8https://t.co/JPnsT80LaF pic.twitter.com/mIE4JoUigy

If Matthews was still good, he would have a job with a team. But he doesn’t so here we are. The larger point here is that Matthews refused to play middle linebacker offering no flexibility. I don’t think he works in Joe Berry’s system with middle linebackers though because he wants those guys all over the field. That’s another thing to consider in this, Berry coached Matthews in Los Angeles with the Rams. If Berry thought Matthews still had something in the tank, maybe it’s worth it, but still, there aren’t a ton of snaps to go around for edge rushers. Za’Darius Smith, Preston Smith, and Rashan Gary all need to get theirs, and their snaps matter way more than Matthews.
