Packer Cuts

[HarveyWallbangers]

Released Saturday were tight end Zac Alcorn, safety Atari Bigby, safety Tra Boger, wide receiver Carlton Brewster, fullback Ben Brown, kicker E.J. Cochrane, running back Najeh Davenport, cornerback Patrick Dendy, wide receiver Chris Francies, wide receiver Rod Gardner, linebacker Tim Goodwell, cornerback Antonio Malone, linebacker Roy Manning, safety Jeremy Modkins, guard Siitupe Peko, defensive end Kenny Peterson, wide receiver Cory Rodgers, defensive end Dave Tollefson and center Pete Traynor.

[falco]

Placed on injured reserve Saturday were running back Arliss Beach, tackle Josh Bourke and cornerback Mike Hawkins.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I'm surprised they had the guts to cut Gardner and Da Poop. Boger was cut. Manning was cut. They seem to be short at some positions. They obviously will be looking to bring in some WRs and safeties from other teams.

[BallHawk]

So Davenport is the odd man out.

[gbpackfan]

Where did you get his info?

Davenport? No trade. Interesting.

Rodgers, Brewster and Gardner all released. We must be signing a FA WR.

[Rastak]

So they kept Hawkins....Najeh's cut? He'll land somewhere...I see the Rams also cut Moe Williams....

[falco]

Hawkins on IR, conveniently.

[BallHawk]

I'm glad Ruvell Martin stayed, he's a tough player.

And Corey Rodgers....what a dissapointment.

[Rastak]

Placed on injured reserve Saturday were running back Arliss Beach, tackle Josh Bourke and cornerback Mike Hawkins.


Can you go on IR with any old injury? He isn't hurt that bad, correct?

[MasonCrosby]

well, davenpooper is gone... i thought they liked brewster and alcorn?

[Creepy]

Info is on Packers.com under news releases.

Teams had to make cuts prior to 3PM eastern.

[falco]

Placed on injured reserve Saturday were running back Arliss Beach, tackle Josh Bourke and cornerback Mike Hawkins.

From what I recall, I don't think any of those 3 were hurt that badly. I thought Bourke just had a strained calf.

[BallHawk]

GB's boy Zach Alcorn is gone.

[Rastak]

I'm surprised they had the guts to cut Gardner and Da Poop. Boger was cut. Manning was cut. They seem to be short at some positions. They obviously will be looking to bring in some WRs and safeties from other teams.


Yea, I know alot of fans were really high on Gardner at the end of last season. There's a reason that guy keeps getting cut.

[gbpackfan]

We only have FOUR WR on the roster now. They HAVE to be signing someone new!

[HarveyWallbangers]

Right now, we have four TEs and only four WRs. We have six DTs and only eight OL and three safeties.

[Spaulding]

Me likey. Now just sign Rogers and some OL cut from Denver and we'll be better by default. Any word on Eslinger being cut as I can't imagine him being worse than White at this point.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Lots more moves to follow, I'm sure.

[falco]

Oh shit...now I've got to change my damn avatar. :mad:

Might be able to sneak Alcorn, Brewster, & Tollefson onto the practice squad.

[BallHawk]

At least we won't suffer from the constant Davenpoop jokes anymore.

[gbpackfan]

PROJECTED PRACTICE SQUAD:

Tollefson
C. Rodgers
Brown
Boger
Alcorn
Traynor
Francies
Brewster

[Rastak]

They must have did an injury settlement with Peterson....

[HarveyWallbangers]

We conveniently have an open roster spot for Tyrone Calico, Chris Liwienski, and Willie Offord.

Knowing Ted Thompson though, we'll be picking up some obscure players that nobody has heard of.

[BallHawk]

So are we using Gado as a FB? I would guess not with Leach still staying. Leach is a better blocker, but is the FB version of Ben Steele.

So who gets the #2 back job? Herron or Gado?

[retailguy]

Right now, we have four TEs and only four WRs. We have six DTs and only eight OL and three safeties.

they must be trying to trade for someone and trying to trade somebody.

[Lurker64]

Glad to see the Jolly Green Giant is still on the team, at least for now.

Some of the numbers are looking awfully weird though, so I imagine that nobody who was borderline cuttable before the deadline can feel all that secure yet.

[HarveyWallbangers]

They kept Humphrey. I imagine he or Leach will be gone as soon as Henderson is healthy.

[BallHawk]

I'd like Offord and Liwenski. In regards to Calico, I believe there is better out there.

[falco]

We conveniently have an open roster spot for Tyrone Calico, Chris Liwienski, and Willie Offord.

Knowing Ted Thompson though, we'll be picking up some obscure players that nobody has heard of.

Maybe Matt O'Dwyer and Arturo Freeman are available.

Your bringing up memories I've tried to forget.

[BallHawk]

Defintely.

[MasonCrosby]

maybe they do want to bring in charles rodgers?

[red]

well with peterson gone that means none of shermans 3rd round picks are left on the team

kind of sad to see najeh go

gardner did absolutely nothing while he was here, its no shock to me that he was cut

[BallHawk]

I'm on the fence with Rodgers. He could show what he did his first couple games of his rookie season, he could show what he did to get arrested. I'd guess he has more upside than downside. If he gets in trouble, just cut him. Have to make incentives in the contract, though.

[BallHawk]

I'd rather of kept Davneport than Herron. Herron is just slow. At least Davenport can pound the rock, until he gets injured, that is.

[HarveyWallbangers]

If my math is correct, with the three guys going on IL, that leaves the team three guys short. I count 50 players.

[MasonCrosby]

i guess the priorities are to get OL, secondary help, wide receivers and return men through the roster cuts mess...

[BallHawk]

If my math is correct, with the three guys going on IL, that leaves the team three guys short. I count 50 players.

We'll have three more on our team by midnight.

[falco]

I think they're at 53 right now...they cut 19 and moved 3 to IR; that brings us from 75 to 53.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Three open roster spots = WR, OL, and S

[Brainerd]

Just say no to anyone whose last name is Rodgers. The OC for Detroit is Mr. Greatest Show on Turf himself. If he saw nothing in Rodgers why do we want him?

[retailguy]

If my math is correct, with the three guys going on IL, that leaves the team three guys short. I count 50 players.

i count 51, they needed to cut 20, they cut 19 and put 3 on IR.

[falco]

Ted Thompson on Charles Rodgers; "I'm not going to comment on players like that".

[digitaldean]

Might be able to sneak Alcorn, Brewster, & Tollefson onto the practice squad.

Alcorn and Tollefson could make it on there.

Surprised they had the guts to cut DaPoop.

I agree that they may try and get a WR off the wire. They have to with only 4!

Hope they do pick a vet O-lineman.

[falco]

Thompson just confirmed 51 players on roster now.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Thompson just said they are at 51. He said something stupid about some teams only carrying 50 players during the season, and he's comfortable with 53. I don't understand that one. I can't imagine they won't go with 53. He's probably just not going to get into who they'll be picking up.

Who am I missing?

ej cochrane.

[ahaha]

I'm a little surprised they got rid of Davenport. I know he's had problems with injuries, but the guy definately has talent. He proved it in regular season games. Herron just looks so mediocre to me.

[digitaldean]

Thompson just confirmed 51 players on roster now.

A deal in the offing??

[HarveyWallbangers]

Cochrane got cut. I was missing Blackmon. Apparently, he was brought off the PUP list--which means he's close to returning.

[BallHawk]

Blackmon is off the PUP, that's 52.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I think they Blackmon makes 51. I can't see that I'm missing anybody here.

[retailguy]

Blackmon is off the PUP, that's 52.


no, that's 51.

[HarveyWallbangers]

It's pretty obvious they are going to pick up a WR, S, and OL. Humphrey, Leach, and Jolly better not get comfortable. One of them likely gets cut tomorrow.

[BallHawk]

Blackmon is off the PUP, that's 52.


no, that's 51.

My bad.

[falco]

Does that fact we have 4 TE and 2 FB indicate one of the TE's will be traded?

[BallHawk]

It's pretty obvious they are going to pick up a WR, S, and OL. Humphrey, Leach, and Jolly better not get comfortable. One of them likely gets cut tomorrow.

With Henderson ahead of schedule in his recovery, I'd say Leach is gone.

[BallHawk]

How does Martin constantly stay on this team?

[J-Rok]

Potential.

[BallHawk]

Potential.

That never shows itself.

[HarveyWallbangers]

They are keeping Leach or Humphrey on the roster--until Hendu gets healthy. They might end up replacing both. If a good pass catching FB becomes available, I'm not sure both won't be gone.

[MasonCrosby]

How does Martin constantly stay on this team?

which martin?

[retailguy]

How does Martin constantly stay on this team?


naked pictures?

[J-Rok]

David, and I forgot to put quotes around potential.

"Potential"

[BananaMan]

I think Leach will stay. They can still fill 2 spots with players, and they'll probably end up trading a DT.

They need to spell Henderson.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Thompson just said that the Packers weren't seeking a trade, but if another team calls, they'll listen. He says the dumbest things.

[packrulz]

WR Darius Watts was released by Denver, he's pretty good, better than Fergy.

Also, from Arizona,
Also released was offensive tackle Jeremy Bridges, who had been working with the first team following the injury to Oliver Ross, but was replaced when the Cardinals acquired Brandon Gorin from New England.

6DT's seemed like alot to me too. The 4 TE's might be do to the weak OL. It also fits in with MM's WC offense.

[SkinBasket]

The fact that our defense is effed up enough to carry Horton and Hunter is enough to make me more than a little queezy.

[BallHawk]

Tell me about it :roll:

If you saw him walking the streets you wouldn't think he was a GM. You'd probably think he was a Hot Dog Vendor or something.

[sepporepi]

I think they will bring in:
1 G
1 WR
1 S
and try to trade (or cut) one DT to make room.

[PTPaQ]

Blackmon off the PUP?? YES!

We should sign Calico.

def.

Hunter's a decent player. Horton on the other had... :neutral:

and 3 fb's means what? we're gonna play them all on passing downs so we've got some protection for favre?

It means we're working on a trade with somebody...

[falco]

Thompson said Blackmon will be back this week. I doubt they are expecting him to contribute early on though; they probably didn't want to risk sending him to the practice squad. I think our 4 CB's are set in stone right now.

I don't get it... we do have at least 1 or 2 people that are tradeable for a similar value player.

I can see not showing your hand to anybody, but come on!

[HarveyWallbangers]

Rookies on the team:

Drafted: A.J. Hawk, Greg Jennings, Jason Spitz, Tony Moll, Daryn Colledge, Tyrone Culver, Will Blackmon, Ingle Martin, Johnny Jolly

FAs: Jason Hunter

CFL: Jon Ryan

Fewer street FAs than normal. Dave Tollefson and Cory Rodgers are the only ones who didn't make it. Tollefson had 1 1/2 sacks yesterday in his only extended duty. Good candidate for the PS. I think they should just let Cory Rodgers go elsewhere.

[Fritz]

We're still in the thick of things. It's too early to judge. TT's not close to done yet.

Still can't believe he cut Davenport. Wow. Can you say "rebuilding"?

Well, the way he dresses for press conferences, you'd think he was the janitor. It is no wonder why he isn't married. My wife just looked at real player streaming on the computer and said: "That's the COACH, why is he dressed like that?" I said, NO, thats the GM, and she said: "yeah, right", and left the room.....

LMAO....

BOB HARLAN, Buy this man an F'ing suit!.....

[HarveyWallbangers]

We only have two FBs on the roster. Humphrey can play there also. I imagine that one of the two will be cut once Hendu shows he's healthy, so it's not a big deal.

I believe he said "somebody" had until 11 to put a claim in. But he did duck the question...

[ahaha]

I'm a little stunned they cut Brewster. They must see a WR they like on the waiver wire. After last's years debacle they can't possibly be thinking of only having 4 receivers. They better not have to sign Taco Wallace to fill in again.

We lost to the vikings in the playoffs 2 years ago because Sherman thought 4 receivers was enough (I know that wasn't the only reason, but...)

They must have cut his clothing allowance at 1265.... :mrgreen:

[MJZiggy]

I think he's going for that Belichick game-day sweat look. I guess if you look at it like that, this is one of his game days.

[packrulz]

Rogers broke his collarbone 2 years in a row and the Lions were pissed because he was always hurt. He smoked some weed I guess but they could write into his contract that if he gets suspended he voids the contract. The games I saw when he was healthy he looked scary good. Plus, I'm sure he'd love to play the Lions twice a year.

Dean, you gotta have priorities, you know? I just don't get it. Why look like a slob? He's gotta have a closet in his office. Couldn't he spend 5 minutes putting on a freakin' polo shirt and a pair of dockers?

[FritzDontBlitz]

if any team picks up charles rogers off waivers in the 1st 24 hours after he was cut they have to assume the balance of his salary. if no one claims him in 24 hours you can sign him to a new contract.

If I recall, his contract is palatable. I'd think if you had a desire to sign him, you could assume his contract and not risk losing him when he is free to go wherever he wants to go.

I'm not advocating him coming here, but SOMEONE is coming here, that's for sure.

[MasonCrosby]

i like the receivers this season alot better already, no more taco wallace or rod gardner..

Well, Herron puzzles me as well. They definitely like him. I haven't seen it, yet, but maybe it is because he can play some fullback and he doesn't mind?

Davenport basically said he wouldn't play fullback, so who knows? davenport was no great loss, per se. I agree that he was better than Herron, but what the hell do we know? :neutral:

I think Davenport would have had a better chance if he could have kept his tail end out of the back of the "injury cart."

LIONS DEBATE DUMPING ROGERS

The Detroit Lions are seriously considering the possibility of releasing receiver Charles Rogers, we're told. He was the second overall pick in the 2003 draft, and he missed most of his first two seasons due to two separate breaks of a collar bone.

Healthy in 2005, Rogers was suspended four games for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. He reportedly sulked after returning from the suspension, and the team generally has been unhappy with his attitude in the wake of it.

The fact that the team is chasing him for a return of most of his signing bonus might have a little to do with that.

But because Rogers has failed to achieve any of his big-money salary escalators based on playing time and/or statistical performance, his salary is only $757,917 for 2006. So it makes little sense financially to run him out the door.

Also, cutting Rogers after June 1 would push $6.5 million or so of dead money into 2007.

In our view, we don't think that the Lions will be moving too quickly in this regard. Under the guise of giving the guy every chance to turn it around, the Lions likely will hold Rogers into training camp and the preseason. But the real motivation could be to ensure that Rogers doesn't land with another team sufficiently early in the offseason to become fully acclimated to his new squad's offensive attack.

Indeed, the only thing worse than declaring yet another top-five pick a complete bust would be to give him a chance to finally blossom elsewhere.

[retailguy]

I think Davenport would have had a better chance if he could have kept his tail end out of the back of the "injury cart."


I'm not too sure that Davenport wanted "better chances".

Hey, maybe Houston signs him, after all, they announced today that they're starting that rookie, Lundy....

Maybe he needs a backup? :mrgreen:

Also, cutting Rogers after June 1 would push $6.5 million or so of dead money into 2007.

In our view, we don't think that the Lions will be moving too quickly in this regard. Under the guise of giving the guy every chance to turn it around, the Lions likely will hold Rogers into training camp and the preseason. But the real motivation could be to ensure that Rogers doesn't land with another team sufficiently early in the offseason to become fully acclimated to his new squad's offensive attack.

Indeed, the only thing worse than declaring yet another top-five pick a complete bust would be to give him a chance to finally blossom elsewhere.


That's interesting, so he already pocketed his BIG bucks...and his base isn't bad...

[BallHawk]

Bellichek make look like a car burgular, but you can't argue with his success. TT on the other hand looked like he was wairing some lame sweatshirt knitted by his wife, uh, I mean his mother.

[digitaldean]

Ahh, Matt Millen, GM s-o-o-o-per genius strikes again!

I'd have reservations about signing Rogers. At first glance, I'd think he'd just be a more expensive version of Fergy.

[retailguy]

That's interesting, so he already pocketed his BIG bucks...and his base isn't bad...


I also remember reading somewhere about him missing all of his escalators due to injury and suspension. I think the base was supposed to be higher, but due to idiocy and a few bad breaks, he didn't get the raises he was supposed to get.

[SD GB fan]

bummer that brewster got cut. i was rooting for him. but it wasnt surprising either cos i imagined ruvell martin to be our last string (5th or 6th) WR. hopefully brewster might make the practice squad. this means that TT is gonna bring in someone as 4th WR or 3rd WR to challenge ferguson.

Rookies on the team:

Drafted: A.J. Hawk, Greg Jennings, Jason Spitz, Tony Moll, Daryn Colledge, Tyrone Culver, Will Blackmon, Ingle Martin, Johnny Jolly

FAs: Jason Hunter

CFL: Jon Ryan

Fewer street FAs than normal. Dave Tollefson and Cory Rodgers are the only ones who didn't make it. Tollefson had 1 1/2 sacks yesterday in his only extended duty. Good candidate for the PS. I think they should just let Cory Rodgers go elsewhere.

And Hodge

The Lions have our problems, plus the cap problem, plus the fact that they're from Michigan.... Too many issues, you know? :twisted:

[Kiwon]

Back to Davenport.....Thompson is quoted as saying that there was some trade interest in Davenport from other teams, but not enough to pull off a deal.

I don't get it. Why not get something rather than nothing? TT loves the NFL draft so why not get some draft picks or project player for the Scout team.

Davenport did have value. He could have been in Miami last season and possibly could have traded to Houston this week given their RB situation. It seems that we could have got something for him rather than just letting him walk.

Injury prone, and ineffective. I guess he should have gotten a 3rd or 4th rounder?

Unless you are running the Wolf-Parcells private waiver wire, trading a player in danger of getting cut is tough. The team looking for him has all the cards. They may have been offering scrubs, not even a draft pick.

[MuttnJeff]

Davenport is a big stiffy. He can't catch a pass. He won't block. He's an upright, downhill runner. Ya, he makes a few impressive runs when he has a seam to slash through. He's a guy who can fill-in for a few games a year - at best. I am glad the team moved on.

Someone else just posted a link to JSO about Hawkins being waived off of IR after an injury settlement's reached. Think Tollefson, Alcorn and maybe Brown could make the Practice Squad.

Not surprised about Peterson, agree about Davenport.

The Packers could still use an extra WR. They should consider picking up Mike Hass, the Fred Biletnikoff winner last year.

Hass was on the last cut of the Saints. That organization is loaded with skilled WR's.

In college Hass had a knack for getting open and catching everying the QB threw in his direction.

OPF

[HarveyWallbangers]

That organization is loaded with skilled WR's.

Your infatuation with Hass is making me ill.

New Orleans traded Donte' Stallworth. Their starting receiver opposite Joe Horn is rookie Marques Colston. I'm sorry, but Joe Horn, Marques Colston, Devery Henderson, Jamal Jones (former Packer scrub), and Bethel Johnson is not a team loaded at WR.

I thought this was the most exciting news of the day. The Packers will hang-on to all three of these good prospects. (They can't practice or attend meetings this year, and collect full salary, but still a great deal for Packers.)

I do wonder if the NFL might questions this sudden rash of crippling injuries that struck three players unlikely to clear waivers.

[MuttnJeff]

Davenport came to the Packers as a bargain draft pick because of a serious foot injury. His lower legs have been injured most of the time that he was with G.B.

You never know what will happen, but I don't see Davenport being much for Miami long term.

Tenn cut Calico and gave Johnathan Orr a roster spot, he must be doing well. To think we could've had him instead of Rogers.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I do wonder if the NFL might questions this sudden rash of crippling injuries that struck three players unlikely to clear waivers.

I don't think so. It takes the players and his agent to agree to do this, so I don't think the league office or NFLPA really care that much. I wish Ben Brown could have made IL and gotten a paycheck this year.

[digitaldean]

What is it with this franchise and their disdain for former Badgers over the last decade and a half? Granted, we've got Tauscher plus there's some that players that won't pan out. But to pass on Wisconsin players over the years like Troy Vincent (vs. T-Buck), Chris Chambers (vs. Fergy), and Jonathan Orr (vs. Cory Rodgers) is tough to take.

[The Shadow]

Mike Hass would be a fine addition.

My elder brother is a Saints fan; he's been raving about Hass. Now he's cut and my brother doesn't answer the phone?? What's up with that!? :lol:

[The Shadow]

Hass, although not a burner, simply gets open & catches the football.
Worked for Biletnikoff, Ricky Proehl, and even old Raymond Berry.
He also fits the 'football player' niche Ted likes.
I'd like to see him brought in.

[RashanGary]

What's up shadow...I think you might be the only person who likes TT as much as I do...We need more of our kind here. Stick around.

Hi there, GregJennings.
I think we're on the right path; I like the direction TT is taking the team.
It's just gonna take time.
So many posters have no patience - they seem to think that the mess the Packers got themselves into can be turned around overnight.
Things will work out fine - the arrow is pointed up.

All will be well.
Enjoy the process.

I'm part of the TT Kool-Aid crew like you folks ... I say give TT's plan some time to work. He's made some pretty good draft picks already for us. The coaching staff is green as grass but at least desrerves the chance to play a few games for real before we call for their heads. Patience ...

[GBRulz]

The Chicago Bears announced they signed WR Mike Hass to their practice squad. Mike Hass a Bear(ugh!)

The San Diego Chargers also signed QB Brett Elliot of tiny Linfield College in McMinnville, OR to their practice squad. Elliot led Linfield to the NCAA Division III Championship victory last year.

Prior to his Linfield experience, Elliot was the starter at Utah ahead of Alex Smith before he got hurt. After recovering from his injury he transferred to Linfield and starred there.
