Why would you say it's not possible the Packers keep 7 WR?

Rarely, if ever, does a team keep the absolute best 53. They need the best 53 players who also fill all of their needs. If they kept 7 WRs someone (maybe 2) is going to be inactive every week. They still need to fill ST gunners and other ST positions. It doesn't do them much good to keep the #7 best WR inactive and be short at another position. Yes they do have same flexibility but it is not unlimited. One less QB, TE, DB or whoever will factor in as well. I simply think something will happen between now and the final cut down date that keeps them from carrying 7.

Sorry if disagreeing with the vast majority is a crime.

And once again they do not take the 53 best no matter what. Here's another example. The 10th best OL may be a better athlete than the 4th best DL. They are going to keep the DL because they need the depth.

Let's put the two players at the same position. Make them RBs fighting for the 4th and final spot at that position. A 37 yo may be slightly better than a 23 yo street FA. Odds are they keep the younger player in whom they see a chance for growth in a few years. He technically isn't the better player but he is kept anyway.

It is not the 53 best. It is the 53 who best fit the needs for that specific team at that specific time. That's why they release players and add them back on a few weeks later. They didn't get better. The need they fill became more of a factor.

If it wasn't for The Packers playing in Jacksonville week1 and the the d-line suspensions the 1st 4 weeks, I can easily see The Packers keeping 7 wr's.

Cobb and Montgomery(when healthy), will be used as rb's.

Only keeping 2qb's and 1FB makes room for the 6th and 7th wr.

The Packers stay injury free in training camp, Ted is going to work some magic to keep all 7 around.

The Packers are going to need more help on the d-line the 1st 4 weeks.

I expect more movement than in the past at the bottom of the 53 man roster the 1st 4 weeks of the season.

I just don't know how anyone can say a team that kept 5 TE's is impossible to keep 7 WR's especially after what happened last season to the WR group. I think it is a possibility.

I like Abbrederis but imo alot of fans have homer goggles on when viewing him given his history with the state. What I think a lot of GMs see is an extremely injury prone 5th round receiver who's one more concussion away from being out of the league. If everyone stays healthy he's still the odd man out imo, with a small chance that they cut Trevor Davis instead with hopes he can sneak onto the practice squad.
