They seem to be at 91. I thought they could have no more than 90, but maybe there's either a provision or one of the UDFAs is in for a tryout.

Packers have no depth at Safety

Packers have no depth at Safety

Same four guys as last year. Hyde is the 3rd safety.

[texaspackerbacker]

No depth at Safety? I, for one, have a high opinion of Banjo, and as has been mentioned, Hyde is there. The fact is, the way Capers plays defense, the line is blurred between Corner and Safety anyway, and with Fackrell now, maybe even between ILB and Safety. Also, I think this kid Brice has a decent chance to make the team as a Safety who kinda resembles a Corner.

[vince]

Solid. There are always 2 or 3 undrafted guys that make the squad.

I don't know a lot about Murphy but at this point I'd lean toward stashing him on the PS and promoting Henry at TE/ST.

If Davis flashes at all in the preseason he may be tough to stash on the PS, but I agree that Abby would be tough to cut if it comes down to that.

I'm watching Brown (who I think looks a tad soft as a tackler) and Brice as potential guys who could shine like Gunter did last year.

Daniel will also be interesting to watch.

Also I think Clark may push Boyd off the roster, assuming he can play in nickel/base, which I'm guessing they think he can since they obviously graded him atop the d-line class.

[Patler]

Christian Ringo might be a guy to watch, too. Recall that they raised his PS pay to the regular roster rookie minimum to avoid losing him. Several players commented that he really stood out in practices, and improved continually throughout the year.

[Fritz]

Didn't he need to gain some weight? I wonder if he did, and if so, was it muscle weight or Lacy weight?

[Patler]

If he added weight, it will be muscle weight. He is a weight room monster. Very passionate about lifting weights.

[RashanGary]

I hope so, Patler. Would be nice to get a good infusion of DL talent all of a sudden. Clark and Ringlo both being good would be a big boost for our defense.

It seems that Ringo is very much the same type player that Daniels is, so maybe he can give Daniels a break. The question is, how man DL can they afford to keep when so few are on the field at times? Daniels, Clark, Guion and Jones are givens. Probably room for only about two more, and they have Pennel (eventually), Ringo and Boyd coming back in addition to Lowry.

PFT using a Tom Silverstein article to claim Adams' roster spot may be in jeopardy.

Pretty light on any details other than 'had a bad year, could go'

[pbmax]

He would have to collapse in camp like he did during the regular season in 2105 (with injury) not to be on the roster.

Yeah, I thought that was shoddy. The article was simply identifying the position with the most competition. Whoever wrote that PFT piece interpreted that as an official report.

[Patler]

The Packers were not at all disappointed in Adams as a rookie. Last year, they were; but we have discussed at length the factors that may have been responsible. They will open the season with him on the roster (absent an injury keeping him off ot).

Daniels, Clark, Guion and Jones are givens. Probably room for only about two more, and they have Pennel (eventually), Ringo and Boyd coming back in addition to Lowry.

I know Jones is a bit of a hybrid now, but wouldn't he more or less count as one of the linebacking corp now?

I would guess the early favorites are Daniels, Guion, Clark, and Pennel, with Lowry being an obvious keep unless he completely poops the bed, plus Ringo (hereafter to be known as "Ringworm") as a strong candidate. I think Josh Boyd might be the odd man out.

I think they keep six and go light at tight end and fullback to make room.
