The Green Bay Packers laid an egg in their first pre-season game of the season. The New York Jets came into Lambeau Field and seemed to have the early advantage all afternoon long. Even with Jordan Love and company in the lineup.
However, it was a different quarterback who suited up for Green Bay for years who is back on the hunt for a new opportunity.

In an article for ESPN.com, Turron Davenport reports that veteran QB Tim Boyle and fellow veteran Trevor Siemian, whom Packers fans might recall, have been released by the Tennessee Titans:
Ex-Packers QB Tim Boyle Released by Titans After 1st Preseason Game
Following the decision from Will Levis to have season-ending surgery right before training camp opened, the door opened slightly for Boyle to win a job serving as a backup to the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Cam Ward.
Tim Boyle, who's heading into his eighth year in the NFL, signed with the Titans on Wednesday. Boyle has thrown five touchdowns and 13 interceptions in his career across five starts and 23 total appearances. He played in three games in 2024 for the Miami Dolphins and New York Giants, and he's also played for the Jets, Bears, Lions and Packers.

Ad Boyle joins a Titans quarterback room that includes Will Levis and Brandon Allen. Levis was the Titans' second-round pick in 2023 and the team's primary starter in 2024 but heads into the offseason with uncertainty about his status with the organization. Allen signed with the Titans as a free agent in early March, reuniting for coach Brian Callahan after the pair shared time together in Cincinnati. Start the day smarter.

To put it bluntly, a player trying to win a job at the quarterback position has no one to blame for being released but themselves if they are as ineffective as Boyle was this past weekend. The seven-year veteran completed 4/13 attempts for 24 yards and two interceptions. He was also sacked once for a 10-yard loss.
Bad performances are not surprising when it comes to late-game preseason appearances. For a quarterback to register a rating of 0.6 is grounds to be fired, though, no matter who you are, when competing for a job at training camp. That is the reality Boyle must accept after today’s news.
