Who will be your surprise cuts this year?

My candidates are:
Julius Peppers (Elliot would really have to show something)
Chris Banjo
Letroy Guion (If some other dudes step up)
Adrian Hubbard (Not really a shocker)
John Kuhn
Tim Masthay (Has to make the team again)
Mike Pennell
Nick Perry
Don Barclay (Another T has to step up, preferably someone who can play LT.)
Mike Neal

If I have time this week, I'll do an overall 53 man roster prediction.

hahahahaha Yeah, there definitely are some surprises there.

Peppers? No way barring anything even remotely thinkable.

I'll give you at least a slim chance for pretty much everybody else you listed. There are some who maybe you didn't list because they might not be too surprising - Goodson and Thornton, although I think both of those make the team.

I would absolutely add B.J. Raji to the list - IMO, more likely to be gone than either Guion or Pennell. Sean Richardson also has to be a possibility - I see Banjo as more of a keeper than him, as well as James Starks - who very well could get beat out by any of the several young RBs. Boyd could go too, although I don't think so.

From your list, I think Hubbard is a much stronger candidate to step up than get cut. I think the only way Barclay goes is if his injury leaves him damaged goods. Perry is IMO the most likely one from your list to be gone.

Alot of people seem down on Starks. Dude can play. He's not elite, but imo he's very good, above average. These young scrub RBs are just that. Vernand Morency 2.0. Noah Herron 2.0. People think they are the shiz, because they make a decent cut once every preseason against third stringers.

Still, Starks is getting to be that age. He could conceivably begin to lose a step, although that doesn't stop them from keeping Kuhn year after year, step lost after step lost. (I'll note that Kuhn is a white "try hard" guy and leave it at that.)

Raji and Richardson are good additions to the list. Raji needs to prove he's for real. Just because he was for real last year in TC, doesn't necessarily mean he will this year. Let's see what he's got. And Richardson, let's face it, he's not all that.

Hubbard is Erik Walden 2.0, nothing special.

I would be very surprised to see Richardson get cut. I'm not 100% sure how the RFA tender works but somehow I think his contract is guaranteed. At least a big part of it is. Then there was the whole bidding war with the Raiders.

I say Richardson makes the roster this year.

Agreed, don't know what they see in him though.

I guess they love the tweeners. Probably could cover TEs, theoretically.

I too think we may be stuck with Richardson for better or worse. Hopefully he earns his money on special teams. If Hubbard is like Walden, I think I'd settle for that, considering how we got them. Walden was serviceable for us, then he went and took a nice chunk of somebody else's salary cap. True about those rookie RBs being long shots, but there are at least 3 of them if you include Neal - one or more could show some ability. Starks is not one of my favorite Packers; I wouldn't predict he gets cut, but I would put him on the list.
