Early Predictions for This Year's Most Surprising NFL Veteran Roster Cuts

Packers receiver Davante Adams is one of several veterans who could be released before the start of the 2016 season.

Comment woodbuck27:

Has it gone so south for Davante Adams? I hope stuff like this article encourage him to be much better this season.

There is no way we are giving up on Adams unless he plays even worse this summer but I doubt it. Last year he tried to play on a bum ankle. Yes, he had the drops but so did Jordy in his sophomore season.

What I found interesting in that Bleacher Report article was how disappointing House was in Jax last year. I guess it was wise of us to let him walk.

cut the f'er

[Patler]

Generally, high round draft picks who don't last for their original contract play poorly in both practices and games. That hasn't been the case with Adams. When you consider also that he had a solid rookie year, it seems doubtful that they wouldn't give him this season to show in games what he has in practices.

[pbmax]

No.

[mraynrand]

If you don't cut him it sends a message to the rest of the team that getting injured is OK.

[Zool]

It's bleacher report. That's really all you need to know.

[Guiness]

It's bleacher report. That's really all you need to know.

+1, I was going to mention that. Add on the comment about House playing poorly...would that be same guy that broke the Jax single season record to pass deflections with 26?

[texaspackerbacker]

I never liked Adams. It's a matter of numbers now, assuming this Davis amounts to something, and if somebody has to go, I'd much rather it be Adams than any of the others.

If you don't cut him it sends a message to the rest of the team that getting injured is OK.

His hands were injured?

[mraynrand]

His hands were injured?

Was he injured?

[yetisnowman]

Was he injured?

You made the comment about being injured....maybe i misunderstood.

possibly. I suspect more that your focus was very very narrow. You were looking so so hard and long at his fingers and hands that perhaps you didn't recognize that his ankles were screwed up.

[MadScientist]

If everyone is healthy, the last spot is likely to come down to Adams vs Abby. If Adams shows his problems last year were due to bum ankles, he will make it. Janis could be on the bubble if he shows his limited time last year was not due to inadequate coaching, but due to a fundamental inability to grasp the offense or run good routes.

if his only problem was getting open, I would accept that excuse. Many others will always disagree with my premise that bad ankles don't lead to drops. Just as strained calfs don't force you to throw jumpballs towards Richard Sherman, etc, etc, etc....
The guy finally made a few plays in the playoff game, and promptly got hurt.
I worry Davante is psychologically rattled at this point.
