Havner, Swain and Theo Sherman

The only surprise is the timing perhaps.

The Green Bay Packers released third-year TE Spencer Havner, rookie T Theo Sherman and third-year WR Brett Swain. The transactions were announced Sunday by Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations Ted Thompson.

Havner (HAY-vner) played in 21 games with one start during his three seasons (2008-10) with Green Bay, catching seven passes for 112 yards (16.0 avg.) and four TDs in 2009.

Swain, a seventh-round choice of the Packers in 2008, played in 22 games with one start in 2009-10 and caught six passes for 72 yards (12.0 avg.) last season.

Sherman signed with the Packers as a non-drafted free agent on July 28.

i think that makes 9 total

I think this means there will be no big-name release (like Ryan Grant, as some speculated). Usually Thompson makes those early so the vet has a better chance to hook on with another team.

So: Peprah makes it, Grant makes it. That's bad news Bears for Saine and MD Jennings.

Havner passes through again. Is that the third time he's been here?

[SkinBasket]

I've heard something about it but can't find any info.

[mraynrand]

It's true - take it to the bank

[mraynrand]

keep looking

Be interesting to see if Swain gets a look see elsewhere. It's early enough that he could crack another roster. All this talk about the talent of our WR corps, let's see if anyone else is truly interested in our cast-offs.

No Swain means yes West?

[Iron Mike]

Can anyone confirm this?

[denverYooper]

Boy oh boy.

Can anyone confirm this?

I got nothin'....

[easy cheesy]

Are you sure about that? What's your source?

[Fritz]

Could be. Although he may just be hanging on to the guy as long as he can in hopes he can sneak him onto the PS. But prolly not.

[vince]

No Swain means yes West?
Don't see how there's any relationship here. West is the 6th receiver. The question for him isn't whether he could beat out Swain, it's whether the team will choose to keep 6 receivers over 5 TE's, 5 RB's and/or 9 o-linemen.

Sounds like pure speculation and internet rumor to me.

Have to cut 3 more by Tuesday. I'll say Adrian Battles, Anthony Bratton and Jon Hoese.

Goodnight and good luck Frankenbacker.

[ND72]

cut Havner & Swain to let them hopefully get on a roster asap (espn madison speculation).

No surprizes there but TE Spencer Havner had to be really let down as in his mind he produced. He'll hopefully catch on elsewhere. Our team is so deep this season. Our cuts near to or starters on some teams.

GO PACK GO!
