[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 953002, member: 12283"] At receiver, the Packers currently carry: [B]-Allen Lazard -Randall Cobb -Amari Rodgers[/B] -Rico Gafford -Juwann Winfree -Chris Blair -Malik Taylor Only the top three guys should be considered strong candidates for the 53 man roster. So what are the veteran options to bolster this position? [B][U]Re-sign:[/U] [S]-Marquez Valdes-Scantling:[/S][/B][S] MVS is certainly no Adams replacement, but he plays an important role in the offense that will need to be replaced even if he doesn't return.
