It is more likely that the team would build a domed stadium and move to St Paul before Driver is cut this year.

Chillar is gone. Barnett most likely traded but I think they will end up with a 5-6 round pick for him.
Tauscher retires. Poppinga cut.
Harrolle makes the team.
P Lee gone.

hey, i love Driver, good character, good career.

but he has a big contract and i don't think he can play up to it anymore, and I want rodgers to be surrounded by the most talented players Ted can gather.

if he can get back to 900-1k range, and resolve his drops, i will be happy.

still alot of money for a reciever on the downside if his career though.

If Driver is cut that leaves Swain, Robinson and West. Which one are you saying is better than Driver IF he indeed has diminished skills as you suggest? If Jones takes off for greener pastures, and you know Teddy will not get into a bidding war for players, which two are better than Donald?

Ted may ask Donald to renegotiate his contract, also something I don't see happening THIS YEAR but he won't outright cut Driver.

or hell, Finley is for all purposes a WR too.

just saying, if during the course of the season, or when it is done, and we see Driver slowing down, his cap number could be better spent elsewhere.

and this may have well just been a "down" year for DD, but history says that when older WRs drop below the 1K mark, especially by 400 yards, they usually don't have alot left to offer.

age + cap + low production = something needs to be done.
if this were any other player that did not have such a legacy in GB, you bet he'd take a cut or be cut.

I think Thompson is going to do his normal thing.... which is to resign Packers and maybe one guy who's not a huge name from another team, and let the guys he has compete, unless someone demand to be cut and/or are a problem in the lock room then he might do something. He also tagged and trade Williams... but he didn't tag anyone this year (which he could of tagged Jenkins).

The only one I see being a real difference is Barnett (and maybe Tausher). Can Barnett emotional handle not being on the 1st team? Which Mike McCarthy made it sound like Bishop and Hawk would be starting on 1st team when they came back in training camp. As for Tausher I think that will be kept behind closed doors unless the Packers want to move on and he want to keep playing then we'll hear about him get cut and looking for a new team but it will be pretty quite still.

I do think some of those players will be cut when it's time to go down to 53 guys, but it will because there is good young talent with more potential that can keep up with them. Not just because their contracts.

If he doesn't then let him go. If he does, he will make it worth keeping him around for a while.

It is probable the production slip was from the injuries not slowing down. However, that could be masking a slowing down. There is also no way to tell if the the injuries are because of age or just because of football.

This year and maybe this pre season will tell.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.

1) Barnett
2) Chillar
3) Poppinga

We'll likely only keep one, and that's the order of preference. I'm guessing that we won't get a knock-our-socks-off trade offer for Barnett, and that we'll wind up cutting Chillar and Poppinga so that we can pay him.
