What do you do with them all?????
The Packers currently list 16 on their roster. That's probably too many to bring to camp, so some will be released even before then.
Many of them have played and contributed - Mathews, Hawk, Bishop, Barnett, Zombo, Waldon, Poppinga, Jones, Chillar.
Vets with some experience in GB or elsewhere - Francois, Briggs, Wilhelm
Rookies - Elmore, Smith
Who? - Jackson, Young.
Room on the roster for 9, maybe as few as 8, possibly as many as 10. Lots and lots to sift through and consider:
How many LBs do you keep?
Is Chillar healed?
Will Barnett fit in and/or be affordable if he isn't a starter?
Is Poppinga's time up? Would he even have a role on the team?
Who is the "other" OLB - Zombo? Jones? Walden? Elmore? A rotation? Of who?
Is there any reason to keep all of Zombo, Jones, Walden and Elmore?
If Hawk and Bishop start in the middle, who is behind them? Especially if Chillar can't play and/or Barnett doesn't workout as a reserve?
It's a big group, but does it really amount to just 3 + Barnett and 12 guys that don't matter?
Decisions, decisions, decisions!
