Why make a choice to come to Green Bay only to face an elevated injury risk.
Couldn't disagree moreMaybe one of the reasons why the Packers have such a hard time ever signing free agents is their reputation for injuries. Why make a choice to come to Green Bay only to face an elevated injury riskWe like to blame TT for not signing free agents maybe a lot of agents are consulting their clients to stay clear of the injury curse.
Just as well the WR is one of the deepest positions on our team. Hope he gets better soon.

There's no way to know for sure, but I don't think a single UFA has considered the rate of injury of a team he's considering signing with.
Ridiculous statement.
The packers have an injury epidemic every year and you don't think the players and agents notice. That is obsurd to think no body notices when they have a choice of teams. The Packers have a systemic problem and it's getting worseCouldn't disagree more
Ridiculous statement.
I disagree:I don't think Abbrederis was going to make the team anyway. I mean, I love the guy and was hoping he'd have a huge training camp. He's undersized and I read analysis from one scout at the combine that said he was, "Allergic to the weightroom."

That being said, I love the way he plays and hope he gets another shot.

He is also a great route runner with very good hands. Beyond that when was the last time a 5th rounder didn't make the team in his rookie season? It was extremely likely he'd make the team if he stayed healthy.

When was the last time the Packers had this much depth at receiver?
Like others of said nobody really has any proof of the extent of the injury. McCarthy didn't seem to happy though discussing it so one can only speculate. But lets not act like Abbrederis is a lock to make the team even if he is healthy.
I really like Abbrederis and what he has done all the way through college and I grew up going to Badger games as my father went to Law School there but many on here questioned his durability leading up to the draft. I think either way he would be on practice squad and get called up in case of injuries like Myles White last year. He needs to get stronger.
IMO his only chance is as a punt returner on this years team.
The first four receivers are locks. Myles White is playing really well and has beefed up. I think were going to see a lot of Chris Harper in pre-season games. Dorsey is running on first team special teams as head hunter. Then there is Janis who has some ground to catch up. Whether Abbrederis is healthy or not it wont be an easy road.
IMO I think Harper and White fill out the group after the dust settles.
im very surprised to see people thinking he wasnt going to make the team
