Official 2021 Training Camp Thread

[Joemailman]

First practice is July 28. Rumors of Rodgers sightings should start soon.

Lots of things to focus on this year:

Love
Who is lining up at LT, assuming Bakhtiari isn't?
How does Josh Myers look?
How do Amari Rodgers and Funchess look?
Does Slaton look like he'll be able to contribute?
Who is getting the most snaps at ILB?
What players(s) are getting reps at star position?
How does Stokes look? Should I be Stoked?

why are we starting so late? aren't some teams already in camp?

Rookies are already reporting, but not veterans.

Also Dallas and Pitts get to start earlier because they are in the HOF game.

Patrick Taylor and Josiah Deguara on PUP list. LB Isaiah McDuffie on NFI list.

Hmm... that's not good seeing Deguara on PUP since he was hurt early-ish in 2020. What about Bakh?

I was thinking the same thing. It's now 10 months since Deguara was injured.

This may turn out to be a good thing. The Packers probably can keep all four TEs, giving Sternberger 6 regular season games to show he ain't a bust. I'd expect Dafney to still be ahead of either Deguara and Sternberger by mid-season.

[smuggler]

High praise. Dafney made some plays, but if Deguara plays like before his injury, I'd think he's ahead.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I'm not too concerned about Deguara yet. It's pretty common for a player coming off a torn ACL to be on the PUP list to start the next year. He was injured in week 5, so it's been about 9 1/2 months since his injury. He can be activated from the PUP list at any time. I imagine Bakh will start on the PUP list, as well.

Randall Cobb’s return to #Packers is real. #NFL source confirms
@chrisbrockman
report that one of Aaron Rodgers’ BFFs is returning. Not done quite yet, as Cobb’s restructuring his deal to make it happen. Cobb also will mentor his protégé Amari Rodgers, reunite with Davante Adams.

Cobb's base salary is guaranteed. Might be turning some of that into signing bonus to lower cap hit this year. Cobb can still play when healthy. Just not sure if he really adds much.

Veteran leadership. Reliable. Last year he had almost 80%catch rate. He will he be more worth the change than in 2018. Amari will take a couple years to develop. Cobb is ready now. In 2018 we had Cobb and some scrubbs for a good bit of the season.

(And I am not worried about cap. Its being suppressed and should jump big time the next 2 years.)

The OL could bite us in the ass early. No LT and a rookie center and Runyan (who’s not proven)

Hopefully 12 is ready to adjust to less time to get the ball out.
