If the suspension is just weeks 1-8, who knows, he might have a handshake deal with the Packers to just sit it out on the couch...Maybe they are already planning to have him come back to the team when it's over in November, unless there have been massive injuries at some other position by that time. I'm sure he'd consider other offers, especially the Saints, but there may be more to this cut than meets the eye. For one thing, it would certainly save the Packers some money to have Hargrove off the books and on the couch, and then call him back in later.

Just FYI, his suspension counts for any team that signs him. Whoever brings him back has to wait out his suspension. The suspension is for games which he is on a roster, not weeks of the year, regardless of what team he's on.

"NFL spokesman Greg Aiello also told NFL.com and NFL Network that Hargrove's eight-game suspension will start in Week 1 of the 2012 regular season, regardless if he's with a team or not at that time."


I can't see any team picking him up until his suspension is almost or completely done with.
