Cut down day

[imscott72]

So far Genus, Levine, Gurley..Gurley cut hurts..I liked this kid. Hope he doesn't end up in the division..

[imscott72]

Draheim, and Datko gone..

[imscott72]

Cooper and Borel cut..Have to assume Boykin will stick. Like him too..

[rbaloha1]

Boykin is better. The Gurley cut probably means no James Jones trade.

[rbaloha1]

Draheim, and Datko gone..

Datko is for the practice squad. Nice feet.

[imscott72]

Bostick and Wells cut..Wells is a surprise..

I think Boykin could be a starter in the league. He's a natural.

[imscott72]

Down goes another OL..Van Roten released..

[imscott72]

And yet another OL..Allard gone..

[QBME]

So 11 gone today so far, plus the 3 waived off of IR makes 14 total.

8 more to go I believe, or do the 3 from IR count?

Borel and Gurly - Packers are a class act. Release them early so teams still making cuts can adjust their rosters and try to pick them up. I bet they won't make it far up the waiver list.

Some teams are known for cutting player late. Thereby making it more difficult for other teams to plan and pick him up.

[sharpe1027]

They put pictures of all the players on a wall, put a blindfold on Slocum, spin him around a few times and let him throw darts at the pictures. I heard it from a reliable source.

[pbmax]

I'm a bit surprised we couldn't trade one of our WRs for OL depth.

Caplan has been at great pains today to say nothing is official until 9 ET. He intimates that something could happen to a guy identified as "cut" or "waived" if there is interest. Seems to be saying player or agent could give out information about no longer being on team when in actuality, team putting out word about a deal.

Not sure how often that happens though. The Bears traded a FB to the Texans and he specifically was not listed that I saw as cut and his first news item was of trade speculation. Still, each piece of news is from an unofficial source who is in the know (player/agent). Miscommunication could happen.

[mraynrand]

How the hell does this process work within the organization?

Norm Peterson has to meet with each player individually. It takes time.

Yes. Barclay has really been coming on since Datko got hurt, but his background strikes me as on 53 man roster but inactive each week. Lurker, JH or Harv might know more of his background.

Dunne at JSO confirmed Draheim released.

3 of those guys went from IR to waived (Smithson, Cosby and Dominguez). So they weren't on the active roster at 75.

If the Patriots cut Koppen, Nick McDonald should be their backup center. They had 3 left with Koppen.

Starks is a better runner than Green, Saine, and Kuhn. ONE preseason game and people overreact. Go watch some youtube videos of Starks and tell me you would still prefer Kuhn running the ball over him. Green has nice potential but hes coming off a major injury and hes unproven. Saine is a nice 3rd down back but come on. As for Benson hes no Ahman Green but he sure will fumble like him.

[BobDobbs]

Wow, Muir cut..

Wow, that's the first real surprise for me. I thought that Merling outplayed him a little bit the last two games, but Muir showed more pass rush. I figured that they'd go with pressure.

Exactly. The main reason that you keep Starks is that he's better than the other guys. It's pretty simple.

[Brandon494]

Think last 5 cut will be Coleman, Saine, Ross, Manning, and So'oto. I could see Coleman, Ross, and Manning going to PS

Which is why we signed Benson, Starks is no reliable as a starter.

Huber at Packer Report was told Benson signing and Starks roster spot were not related. Still trying to deconstruct that. They wished for a 3rd RB, tough inside runner and then Starks is just a question of health?

[mmmdk]

I'm guessing Ross, So'oto and Coleman are the last 3

The number is now 56 but I think more than 3 will be cut and TT finds a guy or two to help the OL.

Muir is the head scratcher for me. He played very well, I thought, and was at the veterans minimum. So pickett is now just a back up at NT?

I think we didn't play base much last season because our DL play was so poor.

That was when we didn't have the depth we do now. I think we have cut some NFL borderline starters. I don't think there will be many teams out there that are deeply talented enough, that their cast-offs would be that attractive to us.

[RashanGary]

We're never going to get the guys you claim of waivers. We're at the end of that list. Veterans though, guys who are near the end of their career, maybe got cut because a team is rebuilding, overpaid, didn't fit new system, etc. . . . Several of those guys might want to be in GB.

[smuggler]

Annoyed that the Pack put So'oto on the IR.

[RashanGary]

WR is such a strange situation. Jennings contract is up after this year. Driver is at an age where very few players can play beyond. Jones has two years left on his deal and hasn't been a very reliable target for AR.

Nelson and Cobb are the only two guys that

A. Have contracts beyond this year (Rules Jennings out)
and
B. Are guys we really like (Rules Jones out)
and
C. Are not 37 years old (Rules Driver out)


I'm such a big fan of how Boykin plays. He reminds me a little of Jordy, maybe without the long speed. At some point, soon, we're not going to have as many WR's as we have now. Nobody wants to say it, but the Packers aren't exactly swimming in cap space any more. Tough decisions are going to have to be made. We need young, lower priced players who perform in order to keep the stars we're going to have to pay very shortly. Boykin has a lot of talent. He could be that next waive of receiver after Jones/Driver move on.

[BobDobbs]

11 DB's right now. Probably 1 goes as soon as House can play.

One might go tomorrow if we get an OL or two that we like. Ross is the shocker. Maybe they are keeping him to deal with San Francisco's spread offense:grin:

Yes. But I think they must not have been ready to give up on him while at the same time having nowhere to put him. Expendable but with a future?

Was that a phantom injury? I thought he was one of the LB's who made some nice catches in practice while lining up at TE. Could be be the next Frankenbacker?

[CaliforniaCheez]

So there will be a cut after week one, a cut after week four, and a few cuts after PUP guys return. Of course they could just be placed on IR if they like the guy and he has a hangnail or something.

[smuggler]

Ross is steady and assignment sure.

He's always right on his man, he just never does much to keep his man from catching passes. Sort of like Jarrett Bush, you know he'll never be a starter, but the fact that he doesn't get roasted is nice.

tori gurley released from minn practice squad.

Mildly surprising, since MN was the team that tried to sign him off the Packer PS last year.

After they pursued him last year, the Pack gave him a raise, then he ended up there after all. Seems like he was heavily pursued, but now cut loose. He must not have developed as expected.

Well that says it all. Nice young man, but if Gurley can't stick with the Vikings, he definitely wasn't going to be a contributor in GB
