Updates on players being cut

I thought Banjo was a special teams ace???

Gray, Myles White, Hubbard cut. It seems like there will be some surprising guys making the 53.

 

[PackerFlatLander]

I'd sure like to know exactly what in the hell Brad Jones does or has done, to warrant keeping him around.

@TomSilverstein: Was just told that #Packers have released WR Kevin Dorsey, leaving them with 5 WRs.

 

[thisisnate]

sure cleveland will end up with one or more of our wr cuts. man they look thin there.

He might be a great photographer and knows a few family members, some more intimate than others?

He outplayed Hubbard and Palmer is hurt. Not much competition at his position. Hold fast the day isn't over yet.

 

[Pkrjones]

Hubbard and Palmer are OLB's, Brad Jones is an ILB. Sorry to see Hubbard go, I liked the idea of a 6'-6" rookie training behind 6'-7" Peppers Hopefully PS for Hubbard...

 

[Poppa San]

Yeah I spaced the exact LB positions they played. Bradford still on staff?

 

[brandon2348]

Gillett, Rolle and Banjo all cut. Not happy with any of that.

Yeah if Goodson makes roster it has me scratching my head. I mean we didn't see practices but I thought Rolle out-performed him in games hands down.

Sometimes pays off being a TT draft pick instead of a TT UDFA.

That appears to be the case here and I don't agree with it at all. I can understand Bradford as he is a 4th rounder and just got moved inside where I think he should of started camp but this guy is a 7th round converted basketball player and has looked horrible at times. Rolle has way more upside IMO.

 

[Pkrjones]

Just saw that Cincinnati just cut DT Devon Still!! - 6'-5", 320 lb'er. Was a 4-3 DT for them but wonder if he'd help plug-up our middle?

*** Edit *** Just saw that he wanted to retire this summer to spend time with his 4 yr. old daughter, dying of cancer. He needs to stay in Cincy with her, won't be any good to GB even if we wanted him.

This is why it was shocking that he parted with Worthy as early as he did. He held onto Justin Harrell until the guy couldn't breathe anymore, or something. That was ridiculous.

I suspect there is more to the Worthy situation than we know.

He was a great backup. They made him a starter. I blame coaching. Then they gave him too big of a contract to cut. He should be primary backup at all 4 spots, not starter at any of them.

Coming around to that view too now. Really isn't durable enough to be the starter. Like Starks, a great spot player.

Good point. He isn't flat-out terrible, but he's just "a guy". I could say the same about Hawk and a good number of other TT picks on the defensive side. Other than Nick Collins and Clay Matthews ... I'm not sure who I'd call bonafide, true difference-maker, game-changers out of all of his defensive draft picks. Ya know? I'm sure I'm missing someone else, but just saying.

 

[HardRightEdge]

I can not believe Banjo and Rolle get cut and freaking goodson is still on the team. Something doesn't add up

I'm still reading to the bottom of the posts, but Banjo and Rolle being depth casualties does not surprise me, as copiously opined in recent days. Both should be PS eligible. Maybe by the time I get the bottom of of this thread I'll see that Goodson is gone as well.

 

[HardRightEdge]

RBs Perkins and Hill are gone.

I prefer Perkins for PS.

 

[brandon2348]

I prefer Perkins for PS.

Well it looks like White, Banjo, or Rolle didn't make it and he we were thinking it was one or the other. lol

 

[HardRightEdge]

Myles White tweeted that "god is good" I can't believe they are keeping him.

This was predicted in some quarters. By me, for instance. There are very good reasons to keep him, laid out in another thread. We'll see if it's official.

Nothing surprising about those cuts.

He's had a very good preseason. That's how.

 

[7thFloorRA]

Brad Jones isn't just being kept around...he is the starter.

He didn't make the team. Janis did, which was predicted in some quarters... by me, for instance.
