Jones looked especially poor last night.. I would say Manning over Jones at this point.

Jones looks like a guy that needs a change of scenery.


Backers that I see sticking.

Moses
Matthews
Perry
Smith
Hawk
Manning
Francois
Walden
Lattimore can cross over to both Inside and Outside.

That is 9.. I think that is the number.

Lattimore might be IR material or cut.. and someone else steps in.

My counts early were.. so I stick with the NINE count.

SP 3 0
DL 7 0

OL 7 2

Well, here that is:

Rob Demovsky ‏@RobDemovsky
Source confirmed the Packers have indeed waived WR Tori Gurley.

Really surprising. I am kind of shocked that this was done so early, with no work on a trade. Makes little sense to me.

RD also reporting via Twitter Moss and Guy have been waived.

But I think Boykins was just more consistent than any of them.. I think he makes this team.

It's not that surprising to me. The Packer's are simply too deep at the position and he obviously didn't show enough to stick around. He probably would stay if we had one less player above him on the WR depth chart. The numbers simply didn't work out. Considering most teams knew he was likely to be cut, why would they trade for him? Teams aren't as willing to give up draft picks as some think. Do you know for a fact Thompson did not try to work out a trade?

I don't see Gurley mentioned anywhere as being cut.

Can't you just believe me?
What do you mean, "No"?

I think 3 writers have said it on twitter.

Is that good enough? Or do I have to find the 3rd one too? [boxing]

PS: I found two... I'm not going to look for the 3rd one. And yes writers have posted stuff on twitter and then turns out they were wrong. But it's all we got to work with right now. You know unless we're... you know... patient... but why? This is a Packers forum we want info now [grin1]

BTW... I think Bostick if he goes unclaimed, makes the PS.

Personally I like the flashes I seen from the kid.. just needs time.

One of the articles I read said, "based on the early cuts, it looks like the packers will be shopping for an olineman."

I am SO bummed about Gurley. I thought his STs work was amazing and would keep him on the team. Hell, I would have kept him at least until Neal comes off suspension. Who knows what could happen to our WR corp through 4 weeks? I don't like it.

Love the Boykins pick. He was a beast at VT. Made that team A LOT better.

I'm somewhat surprised Wells didn't make the roster. He seems to be about as good of a veteran backup offensive linemen that the Packer's would find, at this point. Otherwise, they might be able to find an inexperienced young guy with potential, at best, which they will likely have one or two of on the practice squad as is. He didn't look great, but he didn't have much time to do so, either.

via twitter:

The #Packers have notified undrafted OL Don Barclay that he has made the team.

#Packers WR Shaky Smithson has been waived from injured reserve with an injury settlement, according to a league source.

beast (7h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?
Martha Careful (12h) : meh
Zero2Cool (16h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026
Zero2Cool (16h) : It's so awesome.
Zero2Cool (16h) : new site fan shout post fast
wpr (19h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.
wpr (19h) : Only 4
wpr (19h) : Only 4
Zero2Cool (22h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!
dfosterf (22h) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am
wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days
beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
