2016 Official Cutdown to 53, 52 or maybe 51

[pbmax]

I will not survive the Peyton ads this year. I need an app to block them. Or a remote I can use by blinking violently.

Holy UDFA class...

RB Brandon Burks, CB Makinton Dorleant, DT Christian Ringo and CB LaDarius Gunter, all said that they have not been contacted and believe they are on the 53-man roster.

Long Snapper Swap

The Packers are releasing long-snapper Rick Lovato, per sources. Not sure if they're bringing back Brett Goode,... https://t.co/r3SpRu4XCj

My man!

#Packers have released WR Geronimo Allison, per league source.
Ryan Wood

I don't buy this.

Talked briefly with Josh Sitton and he told me that there was no showdown over his contract and that he was completely caught off guard with the call he received this morning. Said he assumed the team wanted to go with younger players and they just didn't plan on going forward with him.

If true, not saying it is, but then its medical not contract.

Makes sense.

Cutting Lovato but not signing Goode until Monday would allow them to sneak Davis onto the six-week IR.

#Packers also released LB Beniquez Brown, LS Rick Lovato and S Jermaine Whitehead. The cutdown process is complete.

OL: (8): 70 T.J. Lang, 75 Bryan Bulaga, 73 JC Tretter, 69 David Bakhtiari, 78Jason Spriggs, 65 Lane Taylor, 67 Don Barclay, 68 Kyle Murphy

My prediction exactly. Unfortunately my post was lost due to that incompetent illegal immigrant.

[smuggler]

Basically going to resign Lovato after putting someone on IR.

Howard Balzer @HBalzer721 7m7 minutes ago
Packers, who waived Rick Lovato, leaving them without a long snapper, reported a tryout with LS Brett Goode.

Six UDFA rookies to go with all six draftpicks. That's gotta be historically significant.

Captain Obvious expresses concern over the OL depth. The rest of the team looks really complete - especially when Pennel returns in a month.

12 DB's and 3 ILB's.

I think we'll see a lot of Burnett, Hyde and Evans (to the extent he sees the field) playing the new hybrid role up in the box.
