Roster reduction is underway for the #Packers. CB Warren Gatewood and QB Marquise Williams were released today, according to league sources.

I think Williams deserves another look on PS. But probably not before Callahan.

If Lane Taylor continues to draw a check it will be a failure of depth that he wasn't replaced.

I agree. It seems they value experience over potential. I thought Price showed more than Ringo but it appears they're going with the experience and pushing potential to the PS.

Sometimes Ted goes with the guy least likely to get signed off waivers to stock the PS. That way Ted gets to have his cake (keep the vet) and eat it too (keep the youngster). It also makes the coaches happy they have the experience.

Wait, wait. I thought the bitching was that Ted always kept the kids and didn't value vets enough, thus driving the coaches mad. When did this narrative change? Or are you just a renegade?

The vets he loses tend to be older and more expensive than Ringo. But in this case, he hopefully got to keep both.

EDIT: added hopefully. Hopefully this isn't a whammy.

Steuck IR'd and Ross cut. Above lists updated.

He got hurt during Chiefs game. This kid is obviously very bright.

Cornerback Josh Hawkins, an undrafted free agent, has been informed by the #Packers that he made the team, according to a league source.

As long as he isn't doing commentary, this kid can report.

Nice. He's off the bubble list. I'd say there are a few more who could realistically be removed too (Gunter, Brice, Barrington, Janis) but we'll wait a bit longer to see if Teddy pulls a trade or something.

The club cast might have been a ruse for Lucas Patrick to make it to PS. I bet it was healed two weeks ago.

[vince]

That or he too was milking it for an injury settlement at cutdown time...

What the hell was Herb Waters thinking?
