Biggest surprise to me is they kept Abby (now that he is cleared) and cut Blanchard. I figured they'd try to get him on the PS. Maybe he asked to be cut so that another team with crappy QB's could pick him up.
Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!

The five players the #Packers cut Monday all cleared waivers today
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
If only these guys had played soccer and learned how to fake a devastating leg injury.

Still think Blanchard had a more diverse skill set than Tolzien
LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

What are you basing your Tolzien opinions on? The guy has had two good preseasons back-to-back. He probably deserved a shot last year. His arm strength and accuracy are solid. He has knowledge of the playbook--which he didn't have when we signed him off the street and he had to play a couple of years ago. The coaches and his teammates seem to have complete faith in him. How could you want Blanchard over Tolzien? Blanchard was better than most fourth stringers, but I don't want him close to starting a game. This is his fourth year in the league and he's only a year younger than Tolzien.

Agree. I'd rather never see Tolzien in a game (unless it was because GB was up 21 with 2:00 to play), but he's better than Blanchard. Hundley was a R5 pick and had passed Blanchard up in camp, so they weren't going to keep him and releasing him now to become the starting QB for Washington is doing him a favor. Maybe. Besides, they played him a full quarter in the Eagles game so he has tape...it's not like GB did him wrong.
Butler surprises me a bit, wasn't he just signed a week or so ago? I could see Hubbard coming, didn't think it would be this early.

Imagine for a moment a world without hypothetical situations...
Pretty sure they just had Butler in due to shortages at WR coupled with the fact that they weren't going to leave Cobb and Adams in for long vs Philly
