Packers waive Jason Spriggs

About time!

Oh my, lots of comments heading this way...
Too bad, maybe the last of TT's latter day mistakes to be flushed.

Packers will rue the day.

Not seeing where that will happen from this seat.

He's injured, I imagine he'll end up on the Packers IR after he passes through waivers. Although someone might take a flyer and put in a waiver claim. He's due to make just over $1m this year.

He floats through the waiver wire with the greatest of ease,
It’s Jason Spriggs with his broken Trapez.

ius.

Looking back through that 2016 draft, not many good OL were taken after round 1 that year. Trading up for the pick makes it costly (trading a R2, R3 and R7 for the R2).

I think most expected the light to have gone on for him by now, so I'm not surprised except by the timing. It makes me think he was not high on the depth chart and got the first crack at backing up Bulaga as a courtesy for being a vet and R2 pick. Their OT depth doesn't look great right now. So Alex Light is the backup OT?

Spriggs getting hurt didn't help his cause. They could bring him back if he clears waivers but I doubt it. The additions of Turner, Jenkins, and return of Madison and their performance so far likely squeezed him out, and if they have someone who can play in a pinch they might be ok.

They have 3-4 hurt RBs so I guess they had to make a move to sign someone off the street.

Gute is making some interesting moves...different from Thompson.

thank god. new coach saw right away that you couldn't let that train wreck on the field

Spriggs was garbage from day one; ThanksTed for that one. Move forward.

Glad Guter didn't keep the junk even thought it was expensive.

Buncha ingrates. Even red turned up to toss dirt on him.

Jokes on you when he is re-signed after Linsley’s injury lasts too long, they have to keep an extra interior OL at cut down and have one fewer backup OT. Then Bulaga steps on a mutant fescue and they need an OT.

lol. If he could get injured getting ice cream in Crystal Lake, anything is possible.

Bretsky will be singing a different tune when Belichik signs Spriggs.

will that be worse than JH's reaction when he signs Kumerow?

The Packers starting OL is being viewed currently as one of the NFL's best. Should one or more need to be relieved, who now is the best option/s to step in/up? Depth on the OL is now a more visible issue. Spriggs injury and past performances all combined to find him waived in favor of gaining another player that may make the team better. I don't wish Spriggs any ill will and hope that he recovers from his injury and finds a home with another team.

HC LaFleur and the Packers do seem to be cleaning house. I expect to see more of this drop/add as the reg season draws closer. As other teams release players or fail to sign FA's in their camps, GB will I believe have a sharp eye upon the available players. With the departure of Spriggs, don't be surprised if GB does not drop more players that are on the bubble in favor of trying out additional OTs and OGs. McCray and Madison are listed by some as the backups at Center, does GB regularly keep 3 Centers? Hunter Bradley is listed as the Long Snapper, could he be the #3 Center as one of the others is marketed to get a veteran OT?
