PACKER Roster Cuts

[pbmax]

McCray seemed like a real find in 2017, therefore the early favorite to take over as a starter in 2018. In reality, he probably outplayed himself in 2017. I expect he will have a longer career as a reliable backup for some team(s) in the seasons to come, or as the starter who his team always wants to upgrade. In the end, he will have a ten year career playing for different teams every year or two, while starting only a few games each year. Hard working, dependable. Unfortunately for McCray, GB has a slug of interior linemen, including some younger with probably more potential.

Some team somewhere will need him.

Marshall Newhouse.

Marshall Newhouse.

Was just going to say that. I wonder if McCray asked for a release if he wasn’t in line to start?

[RashanGary]

McCray is definitely the marshmallow Newhouse of our 2019 OL

[pbmax]

Gute still in charge of the roster.

@ByRyanWood
Can confirm RB Tra Carson was released, as @RapSheet reported. With Carson out, source said #Packers rookie RB Dexter Williams is expected to stay on 53-man roster as third tailback behind Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams. The plan is to keep the 3 tailbacks with FB Danny Vitale.

Marshmallow Outhouse.

McCray will be better if teams are smart and don't expect him to play much tackle.

@ByRyanWood
#Packers are releasing OLB Randy Ramsey, per source. The hope is he will be on practice squad. Must get through waivers first. That’s not a gimme.

@TomSilverstein
OT Yosh Nijman has been waived, but the Packers are interested in him returning to the practice squad, a source said.

@ByRyanWood
#Packers are releasing TE Evan Baylis, per source. The hope is that he will join the practice squad.

[pbmax]

keep Boyle? sign Brian Hoyer?

I think Brian Hoyer has some sort of underhanded deal to only work with Belichick adjacent teams.

@BillHuberSI
Darrius Shepherd has made the initial 53.

Bill Huber @BillHuberSI
Ditto Ka'DAr Hollman and Cole Madison.

McCray was traded to the Browns, who are short of offensive lineman.

@AdamSchefter
Two more Cleveland trades: Browns trade a 2020 draft pick to Packers for G Justin McCray, and another 2020 draft pick to Titans for WR Taywan Taylor.

@jasonjwilde
Best news I've heard today. Two years ago, Rodgers and McCarthy said he was one of the team's MVPs. Versatile, good player and better dude gets reunited with ex-#Packers line coach James Campen with #Browns.

@TomSilverstein
I guess reports of Mr. McCray's demise were premature. Nice of him to get a shot with Browns OL coach James Campen, who loved McCray's grit and versatility.

@JimOwczarski
#Packers OL Adam Pankey was released - hope is a return to practice squad.

You can always count on the Browns showing up at the Packers' garage sale.

@JimOwczarski
#Packers rookie ILB Ty Summers really impressed this camp, and made improvements daily/weekly. He is on the initial 53.

[RashanGary]

Not a lot of surprises. In the predict the 53 i just missed on Fadol Brown and Shep. I had Looney and Lazard.

@WesHod
One of the finest people to enter into the #Packers’ locker room during my eight years doing this thing. A tremendous story continues in Cleveland.

Congrats

Not bad guesses. Maybe both were size decisions? Looney (plays) smaller than Brown and Lazard too big (already have four large TEs - even though Lazard is WR, his fit would be inside, no?)
