Well we had 2 FB and like 3 TEs last year. I don't see a problem going with 1 FB and/or 2 TE to make room somewhere else. Our bottom of roster WRs mostly all can contribute on ST too.

Key to making this roster is versatility, especially with ST.

Guys I never said it was impossible. I said I can't imagine it happening.

The likelihood of WR #7 being a better player than the other final 24th, 25th or 26th man on the offense is pretty remote. Not to mention that he would most likely be inactive most weeks. It is just as easy to stash him on the PS.

I'm not convinced GB won't go with only 5 WR's.

We also don't really need to keep 3 QBs on the roster this year either as the quality of our 3rd QB is really no better than any street QB we could get at any time. There is always the chance of a UDFA surprising us at some other position on the offense but barring that and knowing what we currently know about the players 7wr just doesn't seem like a wild idea to me.

Either way, someone will very likely get hurt at some point.

Monty and Jordy did just have some major injuries, and Abby has a history. Even though I think the possibility of 7 exists, I sense it won't even be an issue by Jacksonville.

Mucky Tundra (22-May) : Sounds like both Kraft and Tom were injuried before OTAs began

buckeyepackfan (22-May) : Not serious but waiting for strength and conditioning coach referwnces.

buckeyepackfan (22-May) : Tom and Kraft both injured(pectoral muscle),

Zero2Cool (20-May) : I feel similar about person and product/service.

beast (17-May) : Not sure why a players views reflect on GB... instead of simply on the player

Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity

Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

CanPackFan (16-May) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.

buckeyepackfan (15-May) : Let the leaks begin. Colts @ Packers week 2, Vikings @ Packers week 4

Zero2Cool (13-May) : I know we moved on. That tidbit just makes me a touch happier.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley
