Packers sign former Lions tight end Michael Roberts, per report

https://www.profootballrumors.com/2019/06/packers-claim-te-michael-roberts-off-waivers-from-lions

To the posters who really know this stuff ( I don't)....if there a chance the Packers cut Jimmy Graham?

IIRC, there was a date sometime this summer that they would save a chunk of money if they did.

Nerd also pointed out that Graham had quite a few drops in OTA...I am just wondering.

This was a no name waiver claim. It doesn't affect Jimmy directly. But, if 3-4 guys step up this summer he could be gone. Unfortunately we paid his huge roster bonus in march. From what I remember there isn't much savings left this year.

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

Just how many TE do they need in camp? They have 8 already.

Just released, failed his physical.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

I never even heard of “Michael Roberts” until this thread, so I’m not overly concerned that he won’t be playing here.

They could cut him and save $4m in cap, but they would have $8.666m in dead cap. I don't think there is much logic to devoting 8.666m in cap space to not having Jimmy Graham on the team.

Next year the savings would be $8m and the cap hit $3.666m, so cutting him seems likely unless he has a big year.

They can keep that revolving door going at the back end of the roster as far as I am concerned. Chances are they won't land any big help so I won't get too excited over any of them but all they need is a guy who is better than the someone else to make the roster stronger.

Zero2Cool (3-Dec) : And the reason I think it is BS, is Bill isn't going to pine for a job that's not available. He respects the whole coaching people thing

Zero2Cool (3-Dec) : I think it's BS. Jets thought win now with Rodgers, not happening.

beast (3-Dec) : The rumor could be BS... but supposedly Belichick wouldn't like the Cowboys because then he'd have Jerry Jones butting in all the time

beast (3-Dec) : And Belichick wants an owner that will be hands off and let a head coach fully steer the boat, and supposedly Jaguars owner is hands off

beast (3-Dec) : Jaguars job because it's the closest job that might be available near his house in Jupiter Florida. And Belichick wants an owner that....

Zero2Cool (3-Dec) : No reason to want Jaguars job, or Rodgers.

Zero2Cool (3-Dec) : Doubs still in protocol

Zero2Cool (2-Dec) : Edgerrin Cooper, Corey Ballentine and Elgton Jenkins miss Monday practice

Zero2Cool (2-Dec) : We should talk Fantasy Football.

Zero2Cool (2-Dec) : No.

buckeyepackfan (1-Dec) : Tucker killing me in our FFL 2 missed Fg's 1 missed pat. lol

Zero2Cool (1-Dec) : Kickin ain't easy.

beast (1-Dec) : Anders Carlson hasn't missed a FG since Packers released him, including 50+ yarders... but has missed a couple of extra points

Mucky Tundra (1-Dec) : Justin Tucker with a missed PAT, what's going on with him this year?

Mucky Tundra (1-Dec) : That and just missing some games that were toss ups based on the Vegas line

Mucky Tundra (1-Dec) : Regarding pfow and Pick'em, I think he leaned too hard on "Everyone is picking Team A so I'll pick Team B"
