Regarding Josh Hawkins, I really hope they don't get rid of him. The Packers have a history - disturbing IMO - of keeping less athletic "safe" players, and letting higher potential ones go or sitting them ad infinitum. Shields was one of very few players over the years where they departed from this and went with the high potential guy, and look how that turned out. I really like the coverage skills I see in Hawkins. I see him as having a higher ceiling that Randall and maybe Rollins.
Then what are we doing here?
