UPDATE, 6:27 P.M. ET: The Packers have announced that they cut Hargrove, as well as WR Andrew Brewer, S Micah Pellerin, T Herb Taylor and CB Dion Turner.

That means they like someone else better, even after the suspension.

I'm just not quick to say they liked someone more because there are a lot of variables involved.
