Have to think it's Ringo or someone from the squad.

I have no feel for what's goin on.
I'll wait til tomorrow & see what happens.
The defensive linemen that the Packers cut seem to be making 53 man rosters. That's a good thing. If Packers like Dial better than RJF, maybe that is good too.
What an interesting assortment of names. Does TT prefer baggs or kuntz? Only time will tell. Most likely none of the above.
Interesting that JSO reports Jean Francois having been released, but the Packer website still includes him on the roster. The Packers generally update the website very quickly, and they have Gunter off and Allison on, but also still include Jean Francois.
Why would they sign a hobbit in Ringo over RJF anyway? Seems like a bad move when they've valued size at the position all off-season.
The cutting of RJF is going to turn out to be fake news, I predict.
Or not: Packers promoted UDF Adam Pankey from PS today. RJF was or will be cut to make room for him.

Tex must be sad to see his pro bowl starting corner get cut. 😀
It was not a smart move IMO. Say what you want about Gunter being too slow, but he did a damn good job last year against all but a couple of the very best WRs. Randall and Rollins and maybe House are doing better this year. Hopefully they all stay healthy - what are the odds of that? I like Hawkins, but at this stage of his career, he isn't nearly as good as Gunter. Instead we got Pankey - another big clod who couldn't block anybody in the preseason, even the scrubs of other teams.
Just watch, Gunter will resurface as a decent Corner for somebody.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

Turnover at bottom of roster is usually not detrimental to a team's season and most often a good sign: that the GM is looking to improve the team. Gunter was way down on the depth chart for a reason. If Spriggs cannot go they need to be able to dress a third tackle. In a few weeks Pankey may be replaced by someone else who fills a momentary need. No biggy.

And the other shoe falls.
Here's the thing that concerns me: We only have 5 defensive linemen on the current roster. One or two guys get nicked up, and we suddenly very short across the front.
10 offensive linemen are now on the roster unincluding Barclay on IR.
