You have to look at the big picture.

Which DB, LB and WR gets cut so Ted can sign some extra insurance on the D-line?

This does impact the final 53 roster spots.

well according to pack93z's chart we currently have 11 lineman for 3 spots so I think probably none of those get cut.

Sad to see that my man Bustin' Justin looks crocked again. It's not like he's a bad kid or is garbage, it just appears he doesnt have the body for this game. Draft picks like him are high risk high reward (like oft-injured Adrian Peterson).

As for cutting him, it doesnt make much sense, the way his contract is we save about five bucks by cutting him compared to keeping him at this point.

He's already admitted this offseason he should have gone on IR in 2008 instead of trying to fight it. I can see us putting him on IR for the season, we dont lose any money by doing so and it frees up a roster spot.

That gives him a full year to rehab for one final shot next year, the last of his contract, to see if he can heal up.

This was posted at another forum about Harrell's latest injury.

On the lighter side of life, maybe British can incorporate some additional imagery into his signature to fit developments.

I'll start

He's costing us $460,000 this season. I say throw him on the PUP list if he misses all practices this week. If he's not playing in the 3rd pre season game due to injury, PUP him and move on.

I've lost my hope in this young man. Nothing personal, I just do not think his body can take the pounding.

Stick a fork in him....he's done. It's a shame too, cause i believe he WANTS to play. He just can't physically hold up, even in PRACTICE.

Mike Vandermause column: Give Harrell another year

By Mike Vandermause August 12, 2009

Green Bay Packers General Manager Ted Thompson was booed when he selected defensive lineman Justin Harrell in the first round of the 2007 draft. In the nearly 2 years since, nothing has happened to sway the opinion of those disgruntled fans.

Harrell has been a bust in two injury-plagued seasons with the Packers. He has played in just 13 of a possible 32 games. On the rare occasions when he has appeared on the field, Harrell has made little or no impact.

This season was supposed to be different. Harrell proclaimed his bothersome back completely healthy in the offseason, and he was part of the starting unit during the early days of training camp.

Predictably, it didnt last.

Harrell has essentially been out of commission for the past week. At first, Packers coach Mike McCarthy said the team was being smart with Harrell and resting him. On Tuesday, McCarthy reported that Harrell has back spasms and will be out indefinitely.

Add another sad chapter to Harrells injury-plagued career.

Skeptics say if the Packers really wanted to be smart with Harrell, they would cut their losses and release him. Harrell has been the subject of derision with each successive injury, but that is misguided.

Thompson deserves the brunt of the criticism for reaching high in the first round with the 16th overall pick to draft a player with an extensive injury history. Harrell was damaged goods in college, but Thompson ignored those red flags and drafted him anyway.

So it shouldnt come as a big surprise that Harrell cant stay healthy in the NFL. Thompson took a calculated gamble and lost.

The Packers have invested $7.1 million in Harrell and in return have received two starts, 37 tackles and no sacks. Thats not a lot of bang for their buck.

But despite Harrells lack of productivity and his most recent setback, now is not the time to give up on him. With so many chips pushed to the middle of the table, the Packers would be foolish to fold on this hand.

Harrell will only cost $460,000 in base salary this year, which is dirt cheap by NFL standards. While Harrell is an accident waiting to happen when he steps on the field, the Packers might as well wait it out another year even if it means stashing him on injured reserve and attempt to recoup something from this venture.

Thompson remains high on Harrell. We think a lot of Justin and we think he has a bright future as an NFL player, he said.

But Thompson has a vested stake in Harrell. Defensive coordinator Dom Capers, on the other hand, is more concerned with performance now rather than future potential. Capers doesnt speak of Harrell in starry-eyed terms like Thompson, but hes not ready to toss him to the curb.

When hes been out there, hes showed some things, Capers said. Hes made some progress when hes been able to stay out there.

Harrell may never stay healthy and could eventually join Jamal Reynolds among defensive linemen on the teams list of all-time first-round blunders. Before he receives that infamous distinction, the Packers would be wise to give him one more year to make something of his NFL career.

I just read that article too. I think it's time to move on, the train has left the station. I feel bad cuz I think he's a good guy, but I just don't think he has the back to play in the NFL. Even if he comes back onto the field, he's learning a new position and the back WILL be on his mind. That's way too much thinking in a game of seconds an inches count most.

Whats sad is it seems he wants to play. How many people have we seen that have the chance, and blow it because once they get to the NFL, all they want to do is collect a big paycheck.
