Janis is still a good returner and a very good gunner. Even if he doesn't improve much as a WR he's still probably got a spot locked up because of ST.

IMO the only locks are Nelson, Cobb, and Montgomery if his injury heals and even then he will make the team and be placed on IR.

This isn't hyperbolic by any means. Jeff Janis was huge on Special Teams last season, I mean huge. That there will have him locked on the 53 alone. If anyone questions that, think Jarrett Bush, lol.

Let's not forget there are now 2 spots available on the PS for veteran players.
Not exactly sure who qualifies, but am almost certain Abbey would.
They will find a way to keep all 7 to start the season if needed.
The Packer roster will only be stronger if that happens.
Another team will get a very good player if one of the 7 is released.

If Abby is cut he will land on another team's 53.

Cutting him is not TeddyT's style. He will keep him for the full contract and if he doesn't show signs of improvement, not offer him an 2nd one. (perhaps the toe-sprain will play into how they can justify keeping him. They certainly have enough cap space.)

But if he really struggles this offseason and the other receivers look good, there's precedent for Ted to ship him out.

I didn't say Ted has never cut a 2nd round pick. I said it's not his style. He has carried more than 2 players through out the full term of their contract.

He was always on IR so hardly got a chance to show what he could do but maybe him. Brandon Jackson? We were thin at running back to the point he was getting significant snaps.

The overwhelming majority of his second round draft picks have been productive players, a good number have been pro bowlers even. The second round players Ted Thompson has kept have largely been worth keeping.

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
