Ricky Jean Francois cut

[Fritz]

Missed that one.

Good guy, no speed.

Tex...?

Tex?

Maybe his Cowboys will pick up Gunter. That might ease the pain.

Wait a sec...if they cut Gunter AND Francois, does this mean they've found out that Brooks's concussion is serious, so they're calling up Gilbert?

Ruh roh.

[Zool]

Saw a tweet that said RJF release was not seen on he wire yet only Gunther.

Maybe they calling Gilbert up

Spriggs has a hamstring injury. They could be looking for a Tackle.

Ricky Jean Francois is being released by the Packers according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. They gave him a $250,000 signing bonus this offseason as part of a one-year, $2 million deal. Now, 16/17ths of his $1.25 million base salary is wiped off their books.

Jean-Francois is a vested veteran. Isn't his salary guaranteed by having been on the week 1 roster?

Because he was on the roster Week 1, Ricky Jean Francois can still collect the rest of his $1.25 million base salary via the one-time veteran termination pay rule. The only thing the Packers save on is his weekly roster bonuses, which had $375,000 of the $400,000 left available.

The Packers worked out three linebackers: Donnie Baggs (Texas A&M) Brooks Ellis (Arkansas) Christian Kuntz (Duquesne)

They would have to be PS candidates...guess if they like one they could promote Gilbert to the 53 man roster.

Have to think it's Ringo or someone from the squad.

[KYPack]

I have no feel for what's goin on.

I'll wait til tomorrow & see what happens.

[Harlan Huckleby]

The defensive linemen that the Packers cut seem to be making 53 man rosters. That's a good thing. If Packers like Dial better than RJF, maybe that is good too.

Packers might, they released Gunter as well.

BREAKING: Packers Release DB to Make Room for Suspended Wide Receiver's Return

" Wide receiver Geronimo Allison is set to return from suspension this week and reclaim his spot on the roster.

In order to supplement the move, the Packers have cut ties with cornerback LaDarius Gunter, hours after launching Ricky Jean Francois out of Green Bay."

Rob Demovsky ✔@RobDemovsky

The Packers also have released CB LaDarius Gunter. That's the official move to make room for Geronimo Allison. http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-40001449-4 … 5:23 PM - Sep 12, 2017

Comment woodbuck27: Finally, Gunter is gone.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Have to think it's Ringo or someone from the squad.

Why would they cut RJF before knowing if they can sign Ringo though? It's a strange move.

So Brooks is done for the year.

What an interesting assortment of names. Does TT prefer baggs or kuntz? Only time will tell. Most likely none of the above.

Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuntz!

Interesting that JSO reports Jean Francois having been released, but the Packer website still includes him on the roster. The Packers generally update the website very quickly, and they have Gunter off and Allison on, but also still include Jean Francois.
