    Ricky Jean Francois is being released by the Packers according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. They gave him a $250,000 signing bonus this offseason as part of a one-year, $2 million deal. Now, 16/17ths of his $1.25 million base salary is wiped off their books.

    Jean-Francois is a vested veteran. Isn't his salary guaranteed by having been on the week 1 roster?

    I wonder if this means Adams is ready to play, Lowry is 100%, etc.?

    Because he was on the roster Week 1, Ricky Jean Francois can still collect the rest of his $1.25 million base salary via the one-time veteran termination pay rule. The only thing the Packers save on is his weekly roster bonuses, which had $375,000 of the $400,000 left available.

    Tex...?

    Tex?

    Maybe his Cowboys will pick up Gunter. That might ease the pain.

    Wait a sec...if they cut Gunter AND Francois, does this mean they've found out that Brooks's concussion is serious, so they're calling up Gilbert?

    BREAKING: Packers Release DB to Make Room for Suspended Wide Receiver's Return

    " Wide receiver Geronimo Allison is set to return from suspension this week and reclaim his spot on the roster.

    In order to supplement the move, the Packers have cut ties with cornerback LaDarius Gunter, hours after launching ​Ricky Jean Francois out of Green Bay."


    Rob Demovsky ✔@RobDemovsky

    The Packers also have released CB LaDarius Gunter. That's the official move to make room for Geronimo Allison. http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-40001449-4 … 5:23 PM - Sep 12, 2017

    Comment woodbuck27: Finally, Gunter is gone.
