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.

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

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
