I suspect we'll put M. Adams on IR-designated to return and then add Brooks.

Draft picks go in certain rounds because they meet certain criteria. Personnel guys don't forget that until you put up a large amount of film.
Fackrell might very well end up on an active roster if someone else rated him as highly as the Packer. And before you claim this is impossible, remember every other time you have made this claim and we got details later, you were wrong.
Gilbert was cut before Fackrell because they figure they can get him to the PS. I suspect they hope neither has to see the field on Defense right now. Gilbert looked good at times against backups and 3rd stringers, but he never made a move to get starting snaps.
And after the PS additions, Ted will change the roster again during Week 1. It never stays the same as on cutdown day.
I believe there is a certain strategy to keeping certain players on the active roster to start the season. They must have felt the OL and CB players they have were more at risk of being picked up or leaving if they left them exposed at this point in time. They may be factoring in depth/injuries into their decisions too. Whereas, the risk of losing the WR's was much less. Many teams will not be interested in players if they can't get them into their system immediately. They will keep their own players over someone else having to learn a new scheme. We also probably overvalue players at the bottom of the roster who are just not that good at this point in their career, and never will be.
DL: I'm thinking they sign Price or someone off the waiver/FA list to PS. After week 1 Adams goes to IR (making him return eligible) and Price/FA is promoted from PS.
OL: Carrying 10 right now because of injuries to Barclay and Patrick. If either player get green light from doctors, McCray is probably cut and added to PS, opening roster spot for Brooks. If they have to carry 10 OL into season, then Pipkens is cut and added to PS to make room for Brooks.
I am happy to see a new Punter in Justin Vogel.
I'm surprised that Brett Hundley was kept; but he could be TT Trade bait !? I'm not impressed with his passing style and Hill grew in TC.
LaDarius Gunter must be wearing 'Sticky'. Please TT, find any decent CB to replace him ! :cry:
I'm curious to see Gunter play the slot. His speed is less of a liability when there is a safety behind him. His instincts and savvy are more on display inside. Again, I'm interested to see him play in there. If he flops at that, yeah, wtf is going on? Why is he here? But I want to see first.
Ted has never had issues cutting late rounders. It's a number game and when you have a bunch of draft picks later rounders will often get cut. One might argue the early rounders...1-3 should get a few years even if hey are outplayed. Agree with it or not, that is a value argument you agree or disagree with.
He actually cut Yancey (5th), Amichia (6th), and Dupre (7th). Pretty impressive.
When is the deadline for roster claims?
So Taysom Hill is gone now ....... but never fear, Ted managed to retain 10 big O Line lumps. s-h-i-i-i-t.
Chris Odom:
Quote:
Given his size, the Packers will likely play him on the edge at outside linebacker.
A corresponding roster move will need to be made to accommodate Odom’s arrival. The Packers released their initial 53-man roster on Saturday.
Odom was productive during his first NFL preseason, tallying 17 tackles, two sacks and a pass deflection over four games. He was particularly impressive in the Falcons’ preseason finale against the Jaguars (eight tackles, sack).
