When the Green Bay Packers open the 2017 regular season against the Seahawks, they won't have receiver Geronimo Allison. The league has announced that Allison has been suspended for one game under the substance-abuse policy.

If the Packers are keeping Guion, I'm wondering when they're going to get around to determining his Hawaii DUI suspension, and how long it might be. It would suck to make room for him on the 53, just to put him on the suspension list later in the season.

Correct me if I'm wrong,
I don't think any suspended player counts against the 53 man roster until the suspension is up.
When over then the team must make a rostet move or release the player.

We don't owe Guion or Allison any money either until the suspension is over so I'm not seeing any necessity in making a decision on them until then. If injuries strike at WR/DL they're nice insurance policies to have.

After Guion's suspension is up... it would suck to release another player, making room for Guion... just for Guion to get another 4+ game suspension during the season.

Martha Careful (1h) : RIP Junior Bridgeman. An excellent businessman and NBA er

Zero2Cool (3h) : It's better to have $17m to use on players who will be on the field. That's why trade/release is talked

Zero2Cool (3h) : post june is $7m cap hit with $17m saving

Zero2Cool (3h) : oops meant $10m cap hit

Zero2Cool (3h) : And pre june is $10m savings

Zero2Cool (3h) : Can't make him play.

dhazer (3h) : I am curious why the big need to release Jaire, we have 29 million cap space we arent spending and would only gain $6 million/ make him play

Zero2Cool (5h) : Joey Bosa signed with Bills?

dfosterf (5h) : What they are offering is a left over case of Leinies from the Chippewa Falls plant

Zero2Cool (5h) : 27, 59, 91, 129 gets you Jaire and our 3rd

Zero2Cool (5h) : they give us those five, or even first four, they can have Jaire.

Zero2Cool (5h) : 27, 59, 91, 129 and 136 are only ones worth having of theirs.

dfosterf (5h) : What they don't have is cap space, at least presently at 5.6 mil

dfosterf (5h) : Poor bastards only have 11

Zero2Cool (5h) : Ravens ain't got crap for picks.

dfosterf (15h) : Good luck to him.

Zero2Cool (16h) : Eric Stokes signs with Raiders

Martha Careful (18h) : Tyler Linderbaum C

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Cap space?

Zero2Cool (18h) : Do Ravens have anything we'd even entertain to have?

Mucky Tundra (20h) : I've seen trade ideas of Jaire going to the Ravens all offseason

beast (21h) : A probably false rumor is suggesting CB Jaire Alexander is being traded to the Ravens, again probably false

beast (21h) : Commanders might have a dominant offense the next 3 years at least

Zero2Cool (23h) : San Francisco 49ers announced they have released DL Leonard Floyd.

Mucky Tundra (11-Mar) : Er getting traded twice like that

Mucky Tundra (11-Mar) : Huh, LT Laremy Tunsil traded from Houston to Washington. Never heard of a top OT getting traded in his career like that

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : Minnesota Vikings cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. is returning on a three-year, $66 million deal

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : Damn

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : Saints are re-signing DE Chase Young to a three-year, $51 million deal worth up to $57 million.

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : 49ers releasing FB Juszcyk any interest?

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : digits of four

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : four digits

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Eh, don't think so. better to split

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : on new site, would Fan Shout and GameDay Chat show same messages?

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : The Hall of Fame stuff probably came from a scout as Zero said; at this point though it's hard to see them moving ZT from RT

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : Regarding ZT at C, Gute had said he felt C was ZTs best position after he was drafted.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : LB Oren Burks to sign a 2-year, $5M deal with the Bengals.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Based on how it was worded at the time, probably scout.

beast (10-Mar) : I don't think the media person ever told the public the source, but Gute or LaFleur did say they thought Tom has earned his spot at OT

beast (10-Mar) : I think it was supposedly unnamed Packers source

buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Was that Gute or Lefleur or someone else?

buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Zach Tom could be a really good guard, an all pro tackle, but probably be a HOF Center. Who said that?

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : It's March 10th. I don't think anything is done.

Martha Careful (10-Mar) : if we think CB is done, we have a poor roster
