Packer Cuts

[vince]

Giacomini has cleared waivers and been signed to the practice squad, according to Bedard.

Sounds like the Vikings came after him hard..On a another note Bedard was very surprised the Packers couldn't find anyone at all to claim..

Came hard for him? For what, their practice squad? This is the JSO grasping at straws trying to save face for the stupid article claiming multiple teams wanted to actually trade for this guy.

Just passing along Bedard's tweet.

"Breno Giacomini has signed to the Packers practice squad. Vikings came after him hard, but in the end got a better deal w/Packers."

"While not surprising, I don't understand how the Packers couldn't find one player worth claiming across the league. Not a one?"

Yeah, I wasn't mocking you. Just the JS. More scoop from Giacomini's agent no doubt.

Anthony Levine has been signed to the practice squad.

That makes 4 of 8 I believe.

Giacomini
Levine
Francois
Harrell

What the hell is going on in here? People questioning TT's moves? How dare you! Im getting killed in another thread for doing so, in a more respectful way mind you. I thought everyone on this site had gone insane. Thank God some of you see what I do.

I think we all see the problems, where the roster is thin, etc. In fact, I really haven't seen anyone dispute that there are weaknesses. The difference is in what our expectations are. Some are of the opinion that every roster will have weaknesses. Others are of the opinion that a GM can improve any position he wants to if he really tries.

I'm glad they were able to keep Levine. Several observers have opined that there is a lot to work with from Levine; that with some work, he could be a good player.

I'd put myself in this group. Every team has weaknesses. It is the team that is lucky enough to overcome/cover these and is healthiest in the end is the one that usually wins it all.

I kind of expect them to sign a running back to the PS. That way they can have a guy handy and somewhat up to speed if something should happen to Grant or Jackson.

EDS was claimed by Seattle, according to Adam Schefter.

Wow, a lot of our cast-offs are going to be playing somewhere else this year.

[RashanGary]

Havner, EDS and Blackmon were the obvious ones that we knew could play.

[Smidgeon]

Simpkons made the practice squad? Did I miss something? I thought he was just the closest healthy body when all the OLBs started dropping like flies.

Ginger is playing the red room in Vegas this week...

Oh wait, you said cast-offs, not cast-aways.

OK, judging from the paper's web sites and their Twitter accounts, somehow its becoming conventional wisdom that the Packers are short on D lineman with six on the roster.

They have one more PS slot that has not been announced, if I am reading correctly. If that is filled with a D lineman, are they not in the same situation as last year when Toribio was on the PS?

Or is Justin Harrell making people nervous?
