For the first time I can remember recently the team is sitting on 5 wide outs. This was about the biggest surprise for me. I really expected to keep 6. With also keeping 3 FB and 4 TE, What does this mean for the offense. Less 5 Wide to start.

For beginners, I think Finley will be lined split wide more than anticipated. I remember Lee being split wide a lot on 07 and can really see this happening with Finley. That could pull S or LB wider making letting the running game going and also allow Finley some different blocking angles

Jermichael Finley, Donald Lee, Spencer Havner (Who will play both ways) and I think that we still have Evan Moore on the roster, as well. Although he's on IR.

We've only kept Donald Lee, Jermichael Finlay and Spencer Havner at Tight End, but I think I know where the confusion has arisen. The Packers depth chart  has yet to remove the players who have been placed on injured reserve (so Evan Moore is still listed as the fourth TE.)

I'll tell you this much: IMO, Ruvell Martin being cut has at least as much to do with Finley's versatility as it does with Swain's potential.

One thing Martin unequivocally brought to the table was great run blocking. As a TE, Finley should probably bring more to the table as a blocker (which he has evidently improved since last season). Finley also creates better matchups in the passing game. Hence, Martin was expendable. Kind of a bummer, though -- I always liked Ruvell.
William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

Moore will not see the field this year though so his inclusion wont affect plays we call this season, such as the 5 wide.

Obviously, but I asume that he's the 4th TE that PFWT was referring to.

And I agree with pretty much everything that's being said here. Finley made him expendable. He'll be enough of a receiver to take that 5th slot. Next to that, we now have a 5th receiver who can really make some progression. One that has a lot of upside. Ruvell was a great guy, but he was 27 years old as well and had hit his ceiling. Swain has a lot of upside. Something I like to see in a 5th WR/3rd stringer.

Yeah its good to get younger at #5 WR. Swain showed flashes during TC and could well take over as slot receiver once Driver finally starts to decline.

If we get Heckendorf on the PS we'll be set.
