How many DL do the Packers keep, in general? 6?

[list=1]

B.J. Raji DT

Ryan Pickett DT

Jerel Worthy DE

Anthony Hargrove

Mike Daniels DE/DT (291 lbs?)

C.J. Wilson DE

Jarius Wynn DE[/list]

With the draft and free agent pick ups, I wouldn't be surprised to see Neal fail to make the team.

If he's on the PUP list, does his suspension start after those six games? I say the PUP list because then he can't get hurt in training camp, lol!!!

I think he may still make the team this year. (after his time out.) If he doesn't show something he is gone.

The Packers are said to be playing more base defense, which means you need more linebackers than defensive lineman. That's what Dom Capers and Mike McCarthy have said they will do and needed to do.

I just don't see where he fits in. He's often injured, unfortunately, now the weird failure of a drug test and when he was on the field he wasn't impressive at all. If the Packers keep 8 DL and 10 LB I could see that, but typically you keep 25 for each offense and defense... and I believe it's common to keep 10 DB's.

DL 6
LB 9
DB 10

If Neal can get right, he'll be a force.

#6: Someone not on this list. Maybe Guy, maybe Green (if he reports in good shape), maybe someone not on the radar.
#7. See #6. Or Neal or Wilson. Probably Neal.

I think Wynn is gone. I wouldn't be surprised to see Wynn, Wilson, and Neal all gone, but my guess is they'll give him a third year just like they gave Harrell.

The more I think about it, the more I think keeping 7 DL is might be too many, by one. Then again, if that 7th DL is better than the 10th defensive back, it'll happen.

Neal makes the team as long as he shows SOME type of promise in training camp. Wynn and Wilson are incredibly unimpressive to me (I suppose as is Neal). But, being that Neal was a 2nd round draft pick, he'll likely get the benefit of the doubt. But once again it will depend on him showing some of that "potential" he has in OTA's and training camp (which I think he can and will do).

I don't think Neal's days are numbered, but he may be on thin ice. The third year is usually a critical year to show you can produce. He needs to get and stay healthy. And clean.

buckeyepackfan (46m) : Packers @ Bears week 16(Saturday Game)

Zero2Cool (6h) : Clifford hasn't been the same since losing 8

dfosterf (8h) : Sean Clifford would probably disagree

dfosterf (8h) : Canuck Cannon. Got a very good feeling about this

Zero2Cool (8h) : Tom Pelissero also reports what bboy stated

bboystyle (8h) : The Green Bay Packers on Monday signed Taylor Elgersma, the Canadian-born quarterback who tried out at the team’s rookie camp last weekend

beast (9h) : There were reports four days ago that the Packers were signing QB Taylor Elgersma, but no official action since

Zero2Cool (11h) : And for Ian Rapoport to announce Saints send 1st and 2nd rounder to Packers for Malik Willis.

dfosterf (11h) : *Elgersma*

dfosterf (11h) : Today would be a good day to discover the Pack signed Taylor Engersma, the Canadian QB

Zero2Cool (11-May) : It wasn't. He simply wanted his money back. They refused. Cops came. They gave him his money in end.

dfosterf (11-May) : Fortunately it doesn't sound like a big deal

Zero2Cool (10-May) : Elgton Jenkins Involved In Strip Club Dispute ... Cops Called To Mitigate

Zero2Cool (10-May) : Derek Carr retires. Shoulder must be bad.

Zero2Cool (10-May) : Packers Pro Shop is not currently printing Golden #22 jerseys “until his number is confirmed after Training Camp.”

greengold (9-May) : My impression is he's a Peruvian soccer fan not a bares fan.

Martha Careful (9-May) : Favored Illinois Bishop?

beast (9-May) : Technically, the I in FIB stands for Italian now, Si?

dfosterf (8-May) : I never thought I'd live long enough to call a pope a FIB, but here we are

Martha Careful (8-May) : Chicago produces a pope before it produces a 4000 yard passing quarterback

wpr (8-May) : HAHAHA Mucky Comment of the day.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : According to reports, Mel Kiper is furious that Sanders wasn't selected as the new Pope

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Time taken to get picked:

Zero2Cool (8-May) : New Pope: 2 days | Shedeur Sanders: 3 days

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Collin Whitchurch @cowhitchurch · 1h Chicago got a pope before it got a QB to throw for 4,000 yards in a season.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : New Pope from Chicago; in other words, the city produced a Pope before a 4000 yard passer

beast (7-May) : My first name starts with R and my beer belly is quite voluptuous! Thank you for noticing 😏

Zero2Cool (7-May) : beast, you're just one R from being voluptuous.

Zero2Cool (7-May) : And now some Packers blogger is like Doubs to Steelers makes sense!!!!

Zero2Cool (5-May) : If I were to "Google" it, then I wouldn't read it in your words.

Martha Careful (5-May) : Yes, in the military S2’s work on IPB, PERCEC, PHYSEC and IO

dfosterf (4-May) : FYI civilian companies swipe the S2 designation from the military. S2 is the intelligence branch up to brigade level. G2 is division level.

dfosterf (4-May) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning

Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?

beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.

beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.

dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition

Zero2Cool (4-May) : Maybe there isn't an issue.

beast (4-May) : NFL really needs to fix their position labeling issue, but I don't think they care

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Packers did not activate the fifth-year options for linebacker Quay Walker, with the goal of signing him to a contract extension.

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Matthew Golden spoke with Randall Cobb before draft. Looked like chance encounter.

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : from a head left turn?

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : someone drunk?

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Unlikely.

dfosterf (30-Apr) : How long until Jeff Sperbeck's family sues John Elway ?

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.
