__________, We Hardly Knew Ye

[Fritz]

This thread came about after Patler mentioned in an earlier post that he thought Casey Hayward would be but a memory come this time next year. Bob McGinn, as usual, stole the idea from Packerrats and wrote a story on Hayward's mediocre play outside so far this training camp.

This got me to thinking about guys currently on the roster who might not be around next year and whom we never really got to see - maybe due to recurring injuries, or maybe because they just got buried.

So who are the guys who might not be around next year, or perhaps even could be surprise cuts - the guys who were around for a while but we never really got to see much of.

Hayward is, of course, one. I think Nick Perry fits this perfectly, too. I don't think we ever got to know him as a player, due to the incessant injuries that seemed to limit his development and effectiveness. Abbrederis seems likely on the same track. And maybe Myles White - seems like he's been around forever, yet he's never made much of an impression.

Who else?

I see no future for Najeh Davenport.

Good choice. Defensive lineman are hard to draft. Green Bay has seen bad picks forever, it's not just TT misfiring.

T.J. Rubley.

Guys currently on the roster, guys.

TJ Rubley was here two years ago in the form of Vince Young and Seneca Wallace, but neither he nor his ghosts are here now.

Flash back Mondays.

Don Barclay.

Nick Perry if he keeps this up. The contract drive for him is stuck in neutral.

He is stuck in a rut the size of the Snake River Canyon.

And before that as Tim Couch, who sued the Packers for an injury settlement, IIRC. None of those 3 threw an interception in a regular season game, however.

So who's gone...put me down for Demetri Goodson (numbers game, two draft picks and Gunther ahead of him) and Khyri Thornton. Other than possibly the already mentioned Hayward, I don't see anyone with more tenure than those guys being gone. Ok, maybe Tretter, if he gets so much as a hang nail.

Thornton and Bradford are my 2 picks.

Masthay

(They'll trade up for a punter in the 3rd round next year).

Myles White - he was on the bubble before Jordy got hurt.

Thornton - he might be gone before September is over.

James Starks - Rajion Neal is a better receiver and blocker.

Sean Richardson - Doesn't seem to have gotten better.

Tolzien - Hundley will be the backup.

I could see Neal replacing Starks - I'd hardly call that a 'hardly knew you' though, he pieced together a 5 year career with the Packers.

I don't see Richardson leaving, he or Hyde are the third safety on the depth chart.

This is the only thoughtful post other than the OP. These are all guys that we had hopes for or teased a bit, but never really broke out. All guys who could be gone sooner rather than later.

I am going to add Hubbard. He's been hanging around on physical traits, but failed to produce. Datone has definitely been a disappointment.

Starks is a good player, he'll leave because he is an aging 2nd-tier running back who had a good career. Neal looks like a better receiver than most of the receivers.

Tolzien - he is free agent and will probably get good offer. If he comes back to GB, it is possible Hundley beats him out, but not certain.

I'd have to agree on Hubbard. And my guess is that they IR bbredaris, and two years from now he'll be as well remembered as that WR Wolf drafted from Arkansas, the one who had hammer toes. That guy.

Or the ILB from Penn State, Mark D'Onofrio. He really could have used a smoothie.

[pbmax]

Josh Walker. Tackles just don't appear like him as UDFAs.

Next year we will be talking about making a leap and by the cutdown to 53 everyone will want to be rid of him.

I agree. Hampered by injuries a bit, the Stark Plug has been a decent player. Not every sixth-rounder can be Terrell Davis.

Neal will probably be lost to some sort of injury settlement, like all Packer third string running back prospects.

That's fair. Starks wasn't really a "tease", but he had that nice run to the superbowl and many of us expected more from him than we got after that. But a 6th rounder who stuck around and produced some...not too bad.

Oh...and buh bye mr. Hubbard.
