    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.

    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.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    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 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.

    I think Tolzien will be back and continue to be the #2.
    All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!
