Shhhhhh… be vewy, vewy qwiet… It’s wabbit wide receiver season…

Trapper Ted is up to his old tricks., i.e., his normal off-season compulsive collecting of no-name wide receivers. On Wednesday, the Packers signed Alex Gillett, a 6’1″, 214lb former QB turned receiver from Eastern Michigan.

That brings the number of wide receivers currently on the Packers roster to eleven. That may seem like a lot at first glance, but it’s actually fairly normal for the Packers. I know this because I remember calling a few years in a row for the Packers to carry one less wide receiver on the camp roster so that they could bring in a second placekicker to make Mason Crosby actually, you know, earn his spot.

Jones, Nelson, Cobb, Johnson, Boykin, and Dorsey with Ross as 7th man or maybe as ST guy. A couple of these guys will probably hit the practice squad. I noticw how much Ted Thompson likes big (6'1" 200+#) guys with some athleticism, and I like the depth at the position so the offense isn't hosed if someone like a Jennings goes down. Heck I think that though he is far less versatile than Cobb, Stoneburner might make it as an extra TE just to play an extra receiver in the slot in some formations if Cobb ails.
