Well we had 2 FB and like 3 TEs last year. I don't see a problem going with 1 FB and/or 2 TE to make room somewhere else. Our bottom of roster WRs mostly all can contribute on ST too.

Key to making this roster is versatility, especially with ST.

Guys I never said it was impossible. I said I can't imagine it happening.

The likelihood of WR #7 being a better player than the other final 24th, 25th or 26th man on the offense is pretty remote. Not to mention that he would most likely be inactive most weeks. It is just as easy to stash him on the PS.

I'm not convinced GB won't go with only 5 WR's.

We also don't really need to keep 3 QBs on the roster this year either as the quality of our 3rd QB is really no better than any street QB we could get at any time. There is always the chance of a UDFA surprising us at some other position on the offense but barring that and knowing what we currently know about the players 7wr just doesn't seem like a wild idea to me.

Either way, someone will very likely get hurt at some point.

Monty and Jordy did just have some major injuries, and Abby has a history. Even though I think the possibility of 7 exists, I sense it won't even be an issue by Jacksonville.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!
