EDIT: It was first reported that the Packers were released DT Ricky Jean Francois

NOW... it's being reported that they're releasing CB LaDarius Gunter (for WR Allison) and did NOT release Jean Francois (at least not yet)

DT Ricky Jean-Francois released to call up G/T Adam Pankey from the PS



===========================

Well this is surprising DT Ricky Jean-Francois is released (my guess for WR Allison).

This is breaking news. Please refresh for updates. The Packers evidently have not preferred the work Ricky Jean-Francois gave them during his 2017 stay in Green Bay. The team released the veteran defensive lineman, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets.

He only played 6 snaps I guess Adams is getting healthy and they like Dial more so we don't need an overload of DL.

I guess they really like McCray, Patrick, Gunter and Pipkins,

I'm also surprised by the move by keeping a vet on the roster for week 1, the vet can get their complete year salary still... (which might go on the cap). So it might not be saving the Packers much in cap space.

My friend is telling me Gunter was cut too. My guess is Allison and Ringo (who was cut by the Bengals) are back on the roster soon.

Cincy claimed Ringo on Waivers and they're #9, GB is #29. Not sure Ringo will make it #29. If he gets claimed,he'll be released and eventually he'll make it to our P Squad.

Also, Brooks is in concussion protocol; because we are not Seattle, not sure Brooks plays in Atl. They may have claimed one or are working out a deal with an OLB. I can think of an ex-Viking who could step right in if he's healthy.

Datone has an injury settlement, and his agent probably tried to get as many weeks of that settlement because they wanted that expensive money. Anyways he can't sign with any team until the injury settlement is up, which we don't know how many weeks that is, but he's suppose to be healthy, by the end of the settlement.

If we brought an OLB in at this point, I'm thinking it would be Gilbert or a non-Packers vet (Dwight Freeney or someone).
