Is this the year we see...

I fear that, for me, it will be.

Among _my_ favorites, I think there's a high probability of these all being gone on opening day (assuming there is one):

1. Mark Tauscher. One of my all time favorite Packers, but I would be more surprised if he isn't gone.
2. Cullen Jenkins.
3. James Jones.
4. Donald Driver.
5. Marshall Newhouse. (for some reason he always makes me think of Earl Dotson, one of my all time favorites)
6. Erik Walden.

Which of your favorites do you expect to not see on the opening day roster?

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Tauscher is gone for sure. Jenkins 70% chance of being gone. Jones 50% chance. Driver 10% chance. He drops to #3 WR. No guess for either Newhouse or Walden.

Players that I assume will not be back.

Barnett, Nick
Bell, Josh
Briggs, Diyral
Crabtree, Tom
Dietrich-Smith, Evan
Francois, Robert
Havner, Spencer
Jackson, Brandon
Jenkins, Cullen
Jones, Brad
Jones, James
Nance, Dimitri
Smith, Anthony
Swain, Brett
Tauscher, Mark
Underwood, Brandon
Wilhelm, Matt

Of the group I like Taush. Gritty and tough. Despite the aggravation I like James Jones. He may drop a few passes but he has made some spectacular ones too. Add to the mix that he was homeless for a while when he was a boy. It is amazing that he is able to play in the NFL.
Barrnett, Jackson and Jenkins have all added to the Packers legacy and I am glad they spent their early years in GB.

I love Nick Barnett, but he's made for a 4-3, not a 3-4. I hope that he has future success elsewhere (except against us of course).

A lot depends on the rules of the 2011 free agency. If the NFL uses last off-seasons rules, I don't think it is going to be as drastic as many think. If it is open season again, it's going to be hectic.

Obviously, Nick Barnett, Cullen Jenkins, and Mark Tauscher are all but gone. Honestly, the three of them were hurt throughout last season. Jenkins is the only one who didn't finish the year on IR. I am not sure their departures are going to have as much as a negative impact as originally thought. Maybe Jenkins, but even then, Mike Neal is a very similar player

Nonetheless, those are the three that I think we can definitely say won't be back regardless of free agency. Beyond that, it is very much up in the air.

When you look at the names on WPR's list consider the names that will remain on the roster in front of these guys are better players in all but maybe two spots. Jenkins and J. Jones and the players stepping in those spots can certainly play.

This is going to be one of the strongest 53's I have seen in a long time. You figure all the PT guys like Shields, Zombo/Weldon, Bishop, Bulaga, etc., got plus all the guys back from IR an it's easy to see this team is stacked.

What "worries" we have are minor compared to most all the other teams when you look at what they all have to be concerned with.

GMs of 31 teams will have their phones ready to use, once the Packers cut the roster down to 53. SB champion with 53, 17 guys on IR, a draft, that looks very good at this time and added another 10 players to the roster ...... That's amazing depth and Ted Thompson has to cut more than enough players, that would be locks on other teams.

I bet my last underwear, that the Packers are the team, that loses the most players getting a roster spot elsewhere.

See, Gilbert is smarter than some of the other people here. He'll bet his last underwear instead of one of his nuts.

So confused how marshall newhouse ended up on your list, haha.
Erik Walden would be a good story if he holds on to a roster spot.
I'd be shocked if driver is gone. the rest i expect.

pretty solid list tbh. i'd like to see nick barnett stay. I have no problem holding onto him. After last season I have a hard time cutting solid depth.

Mucky Tundra (10h) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (10h) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (11h) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (11h) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (11h) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Well, not crazy, it makes sense. Crazy I didn't notice/find it earlier

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : it's crazy how one stored procedure to get data bogged everything down for speed here

dfosterf (7-Aug) : to herd cats or goldfish without a bowl. They reminded me of the annual assembly of our fantasy league

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Hey i didn't know we could trade picks in fantasy

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Rock claims to have never eaten a cheese curd

Zero2Cool (3-Aug) : We did not leave.

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Family Night! WE ARE SO BACK!

Mucky Tundra (2-Aug) : To this day, I'm still miffed about his 4 TD game against Dallas on Thanksgiving going to waste

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I assumed that both guys will get paid, just a matter of when or how we get there

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Turns 30 this September, plays at a high level and Washington has some cap space I believe

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : More interesting is Washington with Terry McLaurin
