Packers Depth Chart

I think we are one step ahead of ourselves here. Driver was not the #5 receiver last year. Didn't he get the third most snaps? Is Driver really going to want to be behind Jones AND Cobb?

I doubt he expects to be, paycut or no. A lot depends on where the Packers expect his playing time to be. If he will truly be the fifth, is that a situation either side is comfortable with?

I'm guessing his snaps were pretty similar to Jordy and Jones, but Cobb was a rookie and it sounds like Gurley made a push on the PS late, so they weren't going to cut Driver towards the end of the year. It's not a given that Driver will be cut, but I'd say there's a decent chance. I think it all depends on the development of Gurley and/or Borel.

At the end of August it will, yes. But what if the Packers and Driver sit down in July and the Packers (hypothetically) tell him he will truly be #5 in snaps? Cobb gets the slot snaps and Jones the 3rd wide guy?

Far more than Gurley or Borel, Cobb deserves more snaps (Jones a bit less so). If this conversation happens, I think he will want to leave, either to retire or play elsewhere.

But a lot depend on what the Packers think of the current 5. I think assuming Driver will accept a paycut and less of a role is no sure thing.

[Scott Campbell]

I thought Driver already said he'd take less money.

What makes you think Driver would rather leave or retire then to be the #5 retire with a chance to win another ring? He has never shown to be a diva reciever and has always been a great teammate. The #5 reiever in this offense will likely see just as much time as the #3 reciever. Driver, Jones, and Cobb all had similar numbers last season for the Pack.

I don't know that he would. It might be true he would accept a smaller role. But while we know he said he would redo the contract, no one has talked to him about his role on the team.

A lot of players don't want to backup younger players after they have been at the top of the heap. Like Hawk, it will generate a lot of questions and media play if he isn't in the slot. I am sure the Packers would protect him at all costs. I am not sure he wants to be in that position. Just speculating.

[Brandon494]

It's totally different situation then with Hawk. DD knows he is near the end of his career and he didnt show any problem with having a reduced role last season.

BTW you guys do realize LBs play zone coverage at times right? A LB covering underneath routes isn't the same as a LB covering DD in man to man coverage. The Giants doing a lot of zone blitz that game and obviously with Jennings and Nelson being our best deep threats your going to have Driver running the underneath routes. Unlike every other reciever Driver was the only guy not to drop a pass and put him the best recieving numbers in that playoff game. Yea should def cut him for a guy who had some decent preseason games last season.

The reality is that at some point a player's ability drops off because of age. Driver has certainly reached that point, he's not the player he once was and nobody will argue with that. Is this the year he drops off enough to be cut? I don't know, but last year raised enough flags to indicate that it is at least a possibility.

You can keep denying even the possibility that this could happen, but it is right there staring you in the face.

Has anyone every played well after being on Dancing With The Stars?

I think Driver wants to be a Packer at whatever capacity. Even as a #5.

[Rutnstrut]

All this arguing about whether Driver has dropped off enough to be cut is pointless, he is still more talented than Jones. Cut Jones keep Driver, that's pretty simple, and you all make it sound like TT's job is tough

Keep all and put Gurley and Borel on the PS. Return the same WR corps that set Packer records last season. If it ain't broke...

[Pugger]

But can Gurley and Borel go BACK on the PS this season?

[Gunakor]

But can Gurley and Borel go BACK on the PS this season?

I would assume so. How long did we keep Graham Harrell down there?

[Joemailman]

They can, but if they get offers from other teams, they don't have to. I doubt they'd agree to spend another year on the practice squad if they have the opportunity to be on some team's 53 man roster.
