10 NFL Veterans Who Could Be Cut Before Week 1 (Is there a Packer on this list?)

[Patler]

I don't know if I buy it but on a couple of other Packers' forums I visit some say Rich Rod might not make the final 53 because we signed Bennett and Kendricks.

It wouldn't be a shock, but I don't expect it to happen. Rodgers might not be a typical #3 TE, there is no standout feature to him, but he is reliable in what he is capable of doing, even if limited. Peck or Sandland will have to show intriguing promise to knock Rodgers off the team. More than likely one of them will be kept on the practice squad instead.

A guy I think could be in trouble is Joe Thomas. Burnett and Jones could make him an afterthought as the smaller, faster mlb. Especially Jones; taller, much faster and not much lighter. Rumor is that Thomas is important to STs, but he seems like the type who is replaceable there, too. If Burnett and Jones pan out in their new roles, Thomas might not have much value on the team.

With the Packer Bad Luck and injuries R. Rodgers may get a pass simply because one or the other of the of the higher regarded TE's (by Packer fans) suffers an unfortunate energy before the Season starts.

In any case he will not if cut be out of work too long. Some NFL Team will grab him in a New York Minute.
