Agreed 100%, I imagine most of us, and obviously the front office are still intrigued by what he COULD become, though, but just hasn't been able to display yet.

For reasons like this, I wish the PS could be expanded a little not just in numbers, but who is eligible. I feel like Sherrod has been Abby just on a longer time frame. Unfortunately for him I don't think he's PS eligible, so after being cut by the Chiefs now, he's probably SOL unless someone wants to take a big chance with him on waivers.

I checked on Neal and Crockett, but didn't see anything of them signing with another team.

Abbrederis didn't deserve to make the roster this year. I think he has the ability to play in the NFL and be a very good punt returner and chain moving possession receiver type of guy. Let's hope he makes the most of his opportunity.

Abby, Ringo and Vaughters were the only ones I was really hoping we would keep so I'm happy about that.

Packers.com announced the practice squad... they added one outsider in CB Daniel who was from BYU and signed as an UDFA with the Raiders. They only announced 9 and I think they still have one spot open, I wonder if they might try to sign White to that spot.

WR Jared Abbrederis
LB Carl Bradford
RB John Crockett
CB Robertson Daniel
TE Justin Perillo
DT Christian Ringo
G Matt Rotheram
LB James Vaughters
T Jeremy Vujnovich

Rajion Neal was signed to another team's practice squad, I think it was Miami.

Pinkard is the waived/IR list... which means his agent and the Packers are going to have to come to an agreement on how many weeks are the Packers going to pay Pinkard to heal. After that runs up he'll become a FA, able to sign with any team other than the Packers, and then 6 weeks after that he could then sign with the Packers (that's in place to stop team from using the waived/IR list to hide players on that they want to keep)... so it'll be a bare minimum 6 weeks before they could place him there (probably longer) so they could take a look at another guy in the mean time.

I think White would qualify for one more year, but I'm not sure either, and as others have talked about, after getting cut last minute he's probably going to be upset... and might try to look else where... if anywhere else is interested that is.

They could also be saving the spot for whom ever they plan to release once Datone comes back (if they can be signed to the practice squad at least).

Martha Careful (15h) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (15h) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Rude!

beast (19h) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (23h) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooo 8 point game with 4 minutes to go!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
