Former Packers cap guy and general counsel Andrew Brandt saws that he’s leaving the Packers simply because he’s hungry for a “new challenge.”

“Life is short and you have to embrace new challenges at the appropriate time,” Brandt said on Monday.  “I feel that I have a lot to offer.”

Brandt quit his Green Bay gig without having any other job lined up.  It’s unknown whether he was (or is) contractually obligated to the Packers, or whether he could jump to another NFL team without the permission of the Packers.

“Maybe I’m too honorable, but I didn’t feel right looking for other opportunities while I was still working for the Packers,” Brandt said.  “Maybe I take my time with this.  Maybe no one calls [with an offer].  We’ll see.”

(”Honorable” might not be the best word to describe Brandt’s actions; given that he has a wife and two young sons, quitting a job without having another one lined up simply because he wants a — sniff — new challenge arguably could be called “reckless” or “irresponsible” or “downright selfish.”)

Time will tell whether Brandt is really taking a shot in the dark (not to be confused with former Packer Najeh Davenport, who once took a sh-t in the dark), or whether he secretly has something else lined up with another team.  At this point, it’s unclear whether the “new challenge” for which he’s looking is a new line of work in a new industry, a new type of work in the same industry, or simply a new team in the same 32-company business where he has spent the last nine years.  Prior to that, he was the G.M. of the Barcelona Dragons in the now-defunct World League, and he has worked as an agent and a law professor.
