Teams must be down to 75 by 3:00 PM Tuesday.
WR Ed Williams cut today.
Other Likely cuts?
Tyler Kuder
Lucas Patrick
Beniquez Brown
Jermaine Whitehead
Mitchell Henry (Injury settlement)
Casey Pierce
Harvey Binford
Jamel Johnson
Herb Waters
Jacob Flores
Randall Jette
Warren Gatewood
I'd say that looks like a good list.
Other first-cut candidates:
Derrick Matthews ILB
Demetrius Anderson DL
Kyle Steuck - OL
Alstevis Squirewell - FB
Maybe Dorleant gets IR'd. I haven't read or heard any updates on Elliott's injury. It doesn't seem like the Banjo and Crockett injuries make them IR candidates...
Kuder/Anderson, Patrick, Whitehead, Waters, Squirewell would seem to be leading PS prospects from the group.
How is Ripkowski's knee? They might have to keep Squirewell at least until the last cut.
How many of the DL will they have to keep for the last exhibition game? Daniels, Guion and Clark aren't likely to play. Pennel will probably play a lot.
I agree Squirewell probably makes this cut because of Rip's injury. Tough call though with some of these guys. You'd rather not play guys you know are going to get cut because if they get hurt you'll have to give them an injury settlement.Originally Posted by Patler

I'd Steuck and somebody else instead of Kuder and Patrick. I've heard reports that Kuder and Patrick have done well enough that they are PS candidates.

The Green Bay Packers have released DT Demetris Anderson, CB Randall Jette, WR Jamel Johnson, LB Derrick Mathews, P Peter Mortell and WR Ed Williams. The transactions were announced Monday by Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations Ted Thompson.

By all accounts, Mortell was doing well enough to warrant a longer look. I wonder if they are letting him catch on with another team looking for a punter?
He has the leg. But he needs hang time.
Yep. No hang time is a bad thing, especially with coverage units that are down a couple of key players and were suspect to begin with. He wasn't going to make it, so time to cut bait.
They may have to trade up to get a punter next year.
Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!
mortell was the only name that surprised today.
OMG, please......NOOOOOOOO!!!!
GMTAOMG, please......NOOOOOOOO!!!!
I am puzzled by Jyrone Elliot's lack of production. I wonder if he just hasn't learned any new moves, or if he's been hurt, or what. I thought the guy had potential to start. But now he might not even make the team.

I can confirm @RobDemovsky's report that TE Kennard Backman (knee) is being waived injured. He was a 6th-round pick in 2015. #Packers
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

Moss on J. Elliott: Got off to a great start. Maybe stats (not great), I believe in him and what he can do. I’m patient.

Is there any reason to look at other teams DT's who have been released as a stop gap until Pennel returns in week 4? I would not even consider it but clark has been injured for a bit and i keep getting J Harrell flashbacks....
I'm sure they are being looked at, but do any teams have an over abundance of NT's?
Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!
Terence Knighton, anyone? http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/...D=ansmsnnews11
We are thin at DL with injuries and suspensions. He's proven.
"Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts." -Daniel Patrick Moynihan
Sounds like the guy might be done. NE already payed him $650K on a $2.05M contract, so money shouldn't have been a factor. I did find this:
Knighton’s release Monday morning was not the result of a lack of effort on the 30-year-old’s part, Belichick said, but rather the simple fact that other players had outperformed him. “He came in, worked hard, lost weight, got in good condition, tried to do the things we asked him to do,” the Patriots coach said. “(There were) just other people ahead of him.”
Knighton struggled against the Chicago Bears in the Patriots’ second preseason game and did not play a single snap in the third, a 19-17 win over the Carolina Panthers on Friday. Projected as a potential key contributor on New England’s defensive line, Knighton instead tumbled down the depth chart as the likes of Anthony Johnson, Vincent Valentine and Markus Kuhn put forth strong performances in training camp and the preseason.

Today's moves to get to 75.
Ted also traded Lerentee McCray to Buffalo for an undisclosed 2018 draft pick.
