And I thought everything was going well with this guy. What?

The Packers announced a series of roster moves on Tuesday that leaves them with 76 players on the roster. It appears the final move to get to the 75-man limit has come via a trade. The Bills announced that they have acquired linebacker Lerentee McCray from Green Bay for an undisclosed 2018 draft pick. McCray signed...

2018 pick? 2018.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

What the hell?!? I thought he was doing better than Fackrell and a number of others.

He's a backup, and they went with new potential of future starter over someone else's backup. Fackrell had a great game in San Fran and made some plays in special teams. This makes sense to me.

TeddyT would not cut Frackrell so soon.

Ted signs McCrary for injury and performance protections and then ends up paying 125K for a draft pick that could be used to draft Janis' little brother in 2018.

Gilbert has also looked very good, though he hasn't played against any 1s.

Given Clay's ability to play inside, they could have gone Clay, 6 OLBs and 3 ILBs, So the trade of McCrary also signals that the staff feels good about the ILBs.

Amazing is that only 1 DB was cut; 16 of 75 players are DBs and each one has shown something.
