Kind of interesting that they are cutting all their players this early. I think it's a good idea though, as it gives the players more opportunities, both in preseason games and practices.

Agreed. If he wasn't going to make the team we might as well show 'em the door now instead of later. And we can take a closer look at the remaining Receivers.

Ruvell Martin's chances are looking better and better.

Big Bo was a total disappointment.

He had deceptive speed, he was slower than he looked.

It was hard to believe the guy was a vet, he played so stupidly.

I like this cut.

When Boe was signed, I was excited. I remember seeing him play in KC and thought he would be a nice fit for MM's WCO. I was wrong. Boe flashed early at the OTA's but later disappeared in TC. He wasn't going to see the field much if he was kept and it is better to keep a young guy with potential rather then keeping a plain and simple blah guy whose abilities seem to have hit their high.


WR CORP: Driver, Fergie, Jennings, Gardner, Martin and if they keep six, Rodgers.


FYI - Watch for Atlanta to snap up Boe! They are desperate for WR help.

I'd say there is a good chance Rodgers or Martin develop a mysterious leg ailment soon, probably after Monday night.

I can't see the Packer's waiving the draft pick and Martin might sneak through to the practice squad.

well this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone

he was a total disapointment

Bo wasn't someone that had any trade value either.

Boerigter is gone and they trade with Cleveland for a 5-11 receiver. Jennings is 5-11. What happened to the tall receiver only strategy?

How many corners are taller then 6 foot?

i think that went out the door when by far the two best looking WR's on the team were 6'0 and just under 6 foot in driver and jennings. if you have talent are quick and can get open and catch the ball you don't need to be 6'6

Doesn't do any good being tall if you can't catch, and that has been Boerigter's problem. Dropped too many catchable balls.

This points up another concern.

I seriously question our scouts that evaluate league personnel.

& the front office's ability to filter those evals and make some clever acquisitions.

In the last few years, the caliber of our vet FA's has flat out sucked. I know TT doesn't dig vet FA's, but that is a part of his job.

Last year none of the vet FA's stuck. Somebody in the league scouting dept recommended Klemm & O'Dwyer, Neither of those guys is an NFL guard. & we needed guards, badly.

We used to snag good vets all the time. Dotson, Beebe, Sean Jones. Vets with a couple years left in the tank. Or young guys who were used wrong with their old clubs. Now we get guys like Robert Thomas (I know that was a "trade").

We need to roll some heads and get the best and the brightest scouting talent to help our talent stream from FA's, etc.

You really think it has to do with our scouts? Come on man. Get real! Teams sign vet. minimum free agents all the time. A lot the time, it doesn't work out. Boe was given a small salary to see if you could come back to his rookie form, he couldnt so he got cut. It is that simple. Dont make a huge deal out of it. Any one of us (fans) could have guessed this out come. It does not take a scout.

These same crappy scouts found Samkon Gado, Ben Taylor, Noah Herron, Charles Woodson, Ryan Pickett, and Marquand Manual. Now, I AM NOT saying all these guys will work out in the long run, but they look solid now. Well, Manual needs to stay healthy.

All I am saying is that signing FA is hit or miss. EVERY TEAM HAS THESE SAME PROBLEMS. Doesn't that sound familiar. OH YEAH, OUR HEAD SCOUT TT SAYS THE SAME THING ABOUT FREE AGENTS AND MOST PACKER FANS RIP HIM FOR IT. What do you want!!??
