Notable absence is Begelton. They gave him a shot but at 28 they probably figured he didn't make it and he's not going to get any better.

They're also bringing in WR Brennan Eagles, a UDFA the Cowboys cut.

Tryout or signed? If signed, then they are liking putting somebody on IR and calling up one of the PS players.

[Spaulding]

Doesn't look like the Packers lost any of their final decisions on cuts for the 53. Not sure that's a good thing or not as it suggests the roster might not be as deep as we think.

[texaspackerbacker]

I'm generally satisfied. The only two I had hoped for were Begelton and Dexter Williams. I guess either they figured both of those had plenty of chances or the players decided they had a better shot elsewhere.

I think it suggests that the limited looks with a shorter preseason means teams are more comfortable with their own.

This is the first time I have looked at a PS roster and thought there were some decent players on it. Perhaps I'm more dialed into the offseason thanks to covid and the draft day bombshell, or we are deeper than we have a right to be. Spaulding, I am pretending your comment doesnt exist.

I think teams like the comfort of the guys they have trained up more than someone else’s cut.

I don’t know why everyone is so surprised that Braden was cut and then easily resigned to the practice squad. He showed some progress during preseason against back-ups, however we’re talking about a player that has been in the league for 4 years and has played a total of 4 offensive snaps during the regular season. He could be poached later in the season if a team had major injuries, but I don’t know if he ever rises to the level of a consistent back-up.

Me too as I'm usually optimistic. It just seems that in past years our cuts would have a few picked up by other teams and this year it didn't happen. Either that or my memory just sucks

Is anyone really surprised he made it through? You're quite right, a guy who's on his 5th season without getting a start isn't even JAG.
I'd be more surprised no one grabbed Colt Van Lanen, draft picks who get cut out of campe, even Cory Rodgers got picked up once upon a time!

I forgot he existed. Was he the body catching punt returner that TT thought would upgrade special teams?

[Fritz]

He was, Rashan. Yes. Though I thought he was a Ron Wolf pick.

Most notable there was that the team saw he wasn't going to work out and cut him right away. Normally teams don't cut a fourth round guy right away, but the Packers did.

Interesting that Dexter Williams is not on the practice squad, whether that's his decision or the team was tired of waiting. I thought they'd signed Begelton to the practice squad, but it looks like no.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Cory Rodgers was a gun-loving ruffian. Got in to a gun brawl outside a bar shortly after he was drafted, which was primarily the reason he was let go (wasn’t even offered a PS spot).

Shows the Polar Bear’s hypocrisy. Quarless and Guion were also gun-loving ruffians, and the Polar Bear didn’t immediately terminate them.

[MadScientist]

Since Rodgers praised Kaufusi, will he be happy enough with him on the PS and not on the roster? Not sure how he could have cracked the 53, with the other 4 in front of him.
