Packers tight end gets scare on cut day

If you think you had a stre sful holiday weekend, just wait until you hear what happened to tight end .For a bubble Dana Barros Jersey player like Tonyan, cut day is one of the most stre sful days in the and that's because you can be released at any moment. Unfortunately for Tonyan, someone decided to add slightly more stre s to his weekend by pulling a prank on him.With NFL cuts deadline set for 3 p.m. CT on Saturday, Tonyan thought he was in good shape, because by the time 1:30 p.m. rolled around, he still hadn't heard from the Packers. With his roster spot seemingly safe, Tonyan decided to relax a little bit by playing video games with teammate , and that's when it happened: Tonyan received a text asking him to bring his iPad to Lambeau Field. More on the NFL "I just handed Kumerow the phone and ,'" Tonyan said, via ESPN.com. "I was like, 'Man I didn't even get a call. I got a text.'" Although both players were skeptical of the text -- the Packers generally call any players they're going to cut -- Tonyan still made his way to Lambeau."I gue s Jake talked to his agent and he was like, the text me Joel Embiid Jersey sage seemed suspicious," Tonyan said. "But in that moment you're not thinking that. You're thinking, 's---.'"After Tonyan arrived at Lambeau field, that's when things got really weird. At the stadium, he was met by Packers tight ends coach Brian Angelichio, who had no idea why Tonyan showed up to Lambeau with his iPad playbook. "I saw coach Ang first, and he was like happy Tiago Splitter Jersey to see me," Tonyan said. "And I'm like, 'All right, you're happy to say bye? That's unfortunate.'"Tonyan then started making his way around the stadium and that's when things got even weirder."I went up there and they were like, 'Congratulations,'" Tonyan said. "I'm like, 'What the hell is going on? Why Jahlil Okafor Jersey is everyone happy up here? I'm coming in to turn in my stuff. I got the text.'" Yes, Tonyan got "the text," but the thing about the text is that it didn't come from the Packers. Basically, someone pranked Tonyan to tell him he was cut, even though he wasn't actually cut. The team's director of security eventually looked into the matter and discovered who sent the text, but wouldn't reveal the person's name, according to ESPN.com.It's a good thing Tonyan made the team, because no only would it have ruined his day if he had been cut, but it also would've ruined his mom's birthday."It was good to give her that call and give her that birthday present," Tonyan said. "So now I've actually got to get her an item. It was nice to call her and share an emotional moment with her. ... She's been there for me since I've been playing in middle school. For Nik Stauskas Jersey it to be on her birthday, I can't be thankful enough." After spending part of last season on the Packers' practice squad, the former Indiana State player will now officially be heading into 2018 as part of the team's active roster.
