Defensive end Dave Tollefson, who the Packers took in the seventh round of the NFL draft was signed off the Packers practice squad by the Oakland Raiders according to the NFL Players Association.
Tollefson spent the entire 2006 season on the Packers practice squad and is only the second of Ted Thompson's 12 2006 draft choices who is no longer with the team.
Fourth-round pick Cory Rodgers was cut by the Packers after training camp.

Not exactly true. Practice squad contracts expired at the end of the season. The Packers signed others on their practice squad to "futures contracts" a day or two after the season ended. They did not do that with Tollefson, who had been placed on the practice squad injured reserve list (the first time I heard of that list!) In short, Tollefson was a free agent, whom the Packers seemed to have little interest in, probably due to his long history of injuries in college, which now seemed to carry over to the pros.
