This is a complete assumption on my part, but I'm wondering if Gute is partly trying to load up on comp picks for next year, which is something Ted Thompson seemed to do, and this would be a good year for it as Packers as losing so many FAs.

If this is the case, then Gute would be targeting to sign their own and released players as they don't count against the Comp formula.

So just trying to create a list of released players. 

Note, the editor is probably going to make this look horrible with all the copying and pasting.

QB Matt Ryan (projected to be released, played under LaFleaur)
 QB Marcus Mariota

WR Adam Thielen (Gute said he wanted a vet WR for the youngsters to bounce ideas off of)

WR Robbie Anderson
 RB J.D. McKissic RB Chase Edwards
 LT Taylor Lewan (used to be very good, but injuries and.has talked about retirement, played under LaFleaur)
C Graham GlasgowC Pat ElfleinG Cru SamiaG Graham Glasgow
C Ben Jones (played under LaFleaur, pretty good)
C Brett Toth
 G Gabe Jackson C Rodney Hudson (used to be very good)
DT Quinton Jefferson
DE/DT Calais Campbell OLB Leonard Floyd
OLB Markus Golden
 LB Bobby Wagner (pretty good) LB Damien Wilson LB Eric Kendricks (used to be a very good coverage LB)


CB Cam Dantzler
CB William Jackson
 CB Shaquill Griffin (I believe tore his ACL, but was pretty good before that)


S Chris Banjo (former Packers, I believe he joined a team as a coach)

K Randy Bullock

Heard Jarran Reed is gone.

I think I mentioned this in the shout 
Matt Ryan would be a great veteran to back up J.Love.
What I didn't realize was he had worked with Lefleur.
Some on the internet were saying his career is over.
Don't agree,  just the kind of guy to help J.Love through his 1st year.
Should be light cap hit

Yeah I would love to see Matt Ryan on our sidelines I think. As long as he doesn’t actually see playing time or try to teach Love how to keep a lead in a game.

Tonyan to Chitcago.





Good draft for TEs, but they'll take two years to develop. No cap room for free agents. Just sayin.

---

If this is a good draft for TEs we can get somebody better than Robert.  If TEs take 2 years that's okay.  I doubt 2023 is gonna be a banner year for us anyway with a new QB but 2024 might be an entirely different story.

We're not as far away as people think.

The only reason I think we might be .500 or less this year is because back in 2008 in Rodgers first year starting we went 6-10 just one season removed from appearing in the NFCC game.

People keep saying that. We had injuries on defense that year, really started to add up. Iirc Kabeer was one of the guys who got hurt. 

Teams could run at us at will by the end of the season. I think that was the first time Dez Bishop stood Adrian Peterson up in the hole. But overall we couldn't stop the run at all at the end.
