There are a quite a few positions that seem very open for competition. The off-season was a never ending story of Brett Favre, Free Agency and Javon Walker. Now that mini-camps and training camp are approaching there appears to be wide open competition at many positions.

These next few months are going to be very interesting. There was a list of about 10 guys that you could cross off the roster as guys who don't even belong in the NFL. Horton, Thurman, Chatman, Herron, David Martin, Paris Lenon, Earl Little, Donell Washington, Kenny Peterson ect. These guys shouldn't even have a job on on a good NFL team. Fortunately for them, teams like GB, Detroit, Sanfrancisco and others have not been able to draft good depth and with a little hard work, a scrub can make a living in the NFL. As a Packer fan we have to hope we don't have too many of those little guy plays big stories. I mean, everyone respects what these arena league stars stand for but as a fan who wants to win meaningfull games you've got to cringe every time you see duece line up as the #2 WR or every time David Martin entered the ball game. These guys don't exactly exude confidence.
Yeah, that motley crew was what we as fans had to refer to as depth. OUCH. Well, those days look to be numbered. Out steps Jason Horton. In steps Will Blackmon. Out steps Donnell Washington. In steps Johnny Jolly. Out steps Antonio Chatman. In steps Greg Jennings and Cory Rodgers. Out steps Earl Little. In steps Marquand Manuel. I know no tears are going to be shed when Robert Thomas and Paris Lenon get replace by A.J. Hawk and Abdul Hodge. To make a long story short, the Packers look to be much improved. Not only have they strengthened their starting roster with A.J. Hawk, Darryn Colledge, Marquand Manuel, Charles Woodson ect..but they've also moved the last 10 crappy players from important special team rolls and spot releif to the roll of seasons most disappointing player on other teams. As a fan you can just take a sigh of relief and look at the bright outlook created when Sherman got fired as GM. Mike Shermans little flunkies no longer have a safe home in the NFL. The Green Bay Packers look to be developing these things called standards.
