GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers released three-time Pro Bowl guard Josh Sitton on Saturday, making an unexpected change on their offensive line.The 30-year-old Sitton had started 112 of 121 regular-season games since being drafted in the fourth round in 2008 out of Central Florida. He was one of the leaders on a front five that protects quarterback Aaron Rodgers.The Packers other notable cuts Saturday to get to the 53-man limit for the start of the season included former starting linebacker Sam Barrington and wide receiver Geronimo Allison, an undrafted free agent who drew praise from quarterback Aaron Rodgers during training camp.Sitton played through injuries, including a torn ligament in his left big toe in 2014. But the Packers have financial decisions to make up front, with the contracts of left tackle David Bakhtiari and left guard T.J. Lang expiring after this season.Sitton was entering the last year of a five-year, $33.75 million extension signed after the 2011 season. He was due to count $6.85 million against the cap this year.We want to thank Josh for his contributions during his time in Green Bay. He has been an important part of the success we have enjoyed on the field, general manager Ted Thompson said. While these decisions are never easy, this was done with a focus on what is best for the team and the growth of the offensive line.The Packers drafted two linemen this year, Jason Spriggs out of Indiana in the second round and Kyle Murphy in the sixth round out of Stanford.JC Tretter has taken over at center with two-year starter Corey Linsley out with a hamstring injury.The Packers placed Linsley on the reserve/physically unable to perform list, which will keep him from practicing and playing for at least the first six weeks of the season.Well, expectation of the offensive line, I think we clearly could have one of the best lines that weve had here, coach Mike McCarthy said recently. I think Ive said that the last two years and frankly health is always important.Another veteran Packer, punter Tim Masthay, was released on Tuesday after the team claimed Jacob Schum off waivers from Tampa Bay. Masthay had been with Green Bay for six seasons.The Packers also are without a long snapper after they released Rick Lovato, a first-year player who joined the team near the end of last season.By letting go of Barrington, a fourth-year pro who started eight games in his career but missed most of last season with a foot injury, the Packers could be counting on a youthful tandem of Jake Ryan and Blake Martinez as their starting inside linebackers.Green Bay selected Martinez in the fourth round of this years draft out of Stanford.Green Bay cut 17 players Saturday, including Brandon Ross, which leaves undrafted rookie Brandon Burks as the third running back behind Eddie Lacy and James Starks.The Packers placed a pair of undrafted free agents, defensive tackle Tyler Kuder and center Kyle Steuck, on injured reserve.Green Bay also moved defensive tackle Mike Pennel and cornerback Demetri Goodson to the reserve/suspended list. Both players will miss the first four games for violations of the NFLs drug policy.---This version corrects the number of players cut to 17 instead of 16.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLYeezy Boost 350 Scontate .Y. -- The Buffalo Sabres have placed centre Cody Hodgson on injured reserve and recalled two players from their AHL affiliate in Rochester.

"I dont know that were close," said general manager Alex Anthopoulos. "I just think, right now, the acquisition cost just doesnt work for us right now. I dont know if I can quantify how far off or things like that that they might be but I would say we continue to have dialogue. John Aloisi has officially ruled Brisbane Roar out of the running for the signature of Irish star Robbie Keane.The 36-year-old has been linked with a possible move to the A-League following his departure from LA Galaxy but Aloisi, his former teammate at English side Coventry City, confirmed the Roar would not be chasing his services.I said (last week) I hadnt spoken to him. I havent spoken to the owners, but we wont be pursuing him, Aloisi said on Friday.Wed love to - top player, and I think hell be great for the A-League if someone does get him, but we wont be able to get him.The Roars managing director Mark Kingsman claimed last week the club would make the call to Keanes management.It leaves Western Sydney and Melbourne Victory, whose coach Kevin Muscat also played alongside Keane and recently described him as a good friend, as the former Liverpool, Tottenham and Celtic forwards only options if he decides on a move to Australia.Its anticipated Keane would satisfy the criteria to become a guest marquee player, meaning Football Federation Australia could partly subsidise his wages and tthat he would not be counted as one of the five visa players permitted per team.ddddddddddddThe Wanderers are at a very preliminary stage of negotiations with Keane, according to Fairfax Media.However, they face a stiff fight with clubs in China and the Middle East also interested.Meanwhile, Aloisi says he has not met with the management of off-contract striker Jamie Maclaren after a public row over his future broke out last week.Maclarens agent described the Roars offer of a contract extension as disgusting and suggested their pursuit of Keane was an insult to the two-cap Socceroo.It was a tough week for Jamie last week but I felt he dealt with it well, Aloisi said.By the end he focused on the game and he worked hard during the game and this week Ive seen him, it was like a weight lifted off his shoulders, knowing that he can do that.Hes been really sharp at training. Well be speaking ongoing with Jamie and his people but I havent had a meeting with them, no. ' ' '
