The Green Bay Packers can only carry six receivers on their 2016 NFL Roster and YOU have to choose the final six from the group below. Who do you choose and if you can briefly explain why, that would be bonus yo!

Current allottment of receivers
[list=1]
  • 84 Jared Abbrederis
  • 17 Davante Adams
  • 81 Geronimo Allison
  • 13 Harvey Binford
  • 18 Randall Cobb
  • 11 Trevor Davis
  • 83 Jeff Janis
  • 10 Jamel Johnson
  • 88 Ty Montgomery
  • 87 Jordy Nelson
  • 16 Herb Waters
  • 19 Ed Williams [/list]



  • I'm going with these six because I think Ty Montgomery ankle issue is going to land him on the PUP for the first half portion of the Packers season.
    1. 87 Jordy Nelson
    2. 18 Randall Cobb
    3. 17 Davante Adams
    4. 84 Jared Abbrederis
    5. 11 Trevor Davis
    6. 83 Jeff Janis

    Nelson could be done too. Herb Waters is next up.

    Something with this Ty thing has just smelled fishy this whole time for me, and this video doesn't reassure me.

    Ty interview 7-27-16 

    To answer the thread, the main 5 with Davis as the 6th

    Williams next man up if there's another another camp injury. I hope I'm paranoid and overreacting, but I feel Ty is going to be out for a long time. It has a Sherrod feel to it for me. Again, I hope I'm dead wrong.

    I think you're right and Montgomery or Nelson are not 100% for the start of the season and they put one on the pup, and when they're ready to come off of it and rejoin the team maybe the WR dilemma has figured itself out already.

    If all 7 are healthy for the start of the season I think Trevor Davis is cut to put on the practice squad or Abbrederis is just flat out cut. However according to the reports both have looked pretty good so far this off-season so if that continues T.T. is going to have some real tough decisions to make.

    Remember what happened with Bigby's ankle? Ty was explosive, he might never be the same again.

    Just don't know what it is with this staff. Too many careers destroyed on this team.

    Take the best... of course if healthy Monty would probably be higher... and if not for his ST value/speed Janis might be lower.

    1. Jordy Nelson
    2. Randall Cobb
    3. Davante Adams
    4. Jared Abbrederis
    5. Ty Montgomery
    6. Jeff Janis
    7. Trevor Davis

It seems like the setback he had last year has the training staff taking extra precaution with his comeback time table. As long as its just practice/preseason I'm fine with that approach.

I'm going off 2nd hand accounts, but it's just some of the snippets of information making me nervous about this.

    THUMBS DOWN

    It’s a crowded field at wide receiver with 12 players jousting for what was five roster berths in eight of the last nine years. Looking to bounce back from an awful season, Davante Adams is off to a spotty start. At 6-1 and 215, Adams is a big receiver. But size is a detriment if a player can’t separate from defenders. That’s what was happening to Adams on three plays. In a play-action period, he dropped a crossing route with a defensive back in his back pocket. In a blitz period, Adams tried to make another contested catch with Quinten Rollins all over him. From here, it looked like a catch and lost fumble after Rollins stripped the ball out. Finally, in a normal down-and-distance period, Aaron Rodgers took a very deep drop and hurled the ball about 50 yards to Adams. Adams, however, was unable to get away from Morgan Burnett and the pass fell incomplete.



    But it's not all bad:

    CB LaDariusGunter made three big plays. He broke hard on a flat pass to John Crockett, sliced in from the slot to tackle Brandon Ross for minus-3 and sacked Brett Hundley on a stealthy interior blitz.

    beast (4h) : 6 days
    wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
    dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
    dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
    Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
    dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
    Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
    Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
    wpr (9-Apr) : yay
    Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
    Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
    Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
    Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
    Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
    Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
    Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
