Taking no risks on him getting poached. Good move!

Eric Wilson is the only one I missed.

Zac Tom is just that good to warrant a double mention. 😉

I read that the LS Orzech will be brought back after Wednesday, when the Packers will move one of the players (Dontayvion Wicks?) to in-season IR.

The reported plan is to IR Tenuta (yes another tackle and former SFA) so he can return in season, and then resign Orzech, who as a vet does not pass through waivers but can sign anywhere he wishes.

The bigger question is why. Why take the steps to keep Tenuta. He’s a depth tackle behind Bakh, Tom, Walker at the very least and probably Nijman and Jones. Unless they are going to make him the tallest G, what does 6 Ts tell us?

It’s pretty clear they are looking at TE, they may look at be looking at G, and for a slot. They had better be looking at S. This safety group is one rookie, a benched first rounder and a couple of 3rd or 4th safety STers and Leavitt. It’s quite honestly probably worse than the M.D. Jennings year after Collins shock loss to retirement. I’d have got Moore through, not a 6th T. Now we’d better be finding some upgrades or it may get ugly.

I know where I’d attack this team and it’s not on the edge. Let’s hope the FO have got something up their sleeves

Packers All News correctly listed Josh Nijman as one of the 11. Instead of listing Zach Tom twice.

Tom Tom.

Maybe Jonathan Ford will get some playing time in short yardage situations. He was a healthy scratch in every game last year. They're not going to do that to him two years in a row, are they?

I like this!

I was happy to see it Greengold, and i felt somewhat vindicated on Wilson, Ford and Cox. Johnson is somewhat of a surprise for me, but I guess they feel confident he is ready.

I like this even more!

my guess...

Good catch, Nijman was not listed in the cuts, and the second Zach Tom is right where Nijman would be on the list.

Tom is so agile he can play both and still be better than Nijman and Myers. Maybe not Hanson/Newman good, but who is?

Agree more 100%!

No - They kept Hanson as long as they could.
To make him look good. 11 OL is a bad sign.

For now. They have to have 2 reserves. That could, should, change pretty fast, but I can see why not moving on with no in-house option to retain even temporarily was a no go.

At least for today. He might be one of the first cuts once they add a TE or S.

NIjman

I very much hope that they intend to play Jonathan Ford week one and any other game against a run heavy O. He may not be active every week, but he gives us the ability to be stouter against the run and fresher too.

Its about keeing the best layers, with that being said I caa't see why Newman and Owens we kept!

I like it!

He is a move TE. This summer he actually blocked well for one, having been barely willing to consider it previously, but he’d be another Musgrave not a blocker. I think they got a minimal something from the Eagles for him before he was cut. He would be a better offensive piece than Kraft at this point, but we still would have needed a blocker.

He signed elsewhere

Deal with Orzech to sign tomorrow. Some risk of a bid war, but probably not great and we apparently need to keep Tenuta for some reason.

When they cut Orzech, it was noted that they are going to sign him tomorrow. It's just so they can slip in another player with an injury designation or something like that.

or crackle or pop!

Why do some people need to be reminded EVERY F***ING YEAR that this is the “initial” roster? Good lord it’s like beating your head against the wall!

Why stockholder? we have no clue what the plan is for defense. As the roster looks now we can go 4-3, 3-4, 5-2 or extra safety umbrella. Lots of potential for versatility on the D in addition to run stopping ability and limiting TEs .How many teams in this so-called “ passing league with all these young QBs are going to be running 4 or 5 wide spread offenses?? Don’t answer that cause i can tell you…none zero zilch. The days of manning, Brady, Favre, Breese, Rivers and Rodgers are gone..well with the exception of AR. The college game has fully infiltrated the NFL…misdirection, double TE sets, potential wildcats is officially the mainstream NFL now. I seriously doubt we face a team that splits 4 wide or runs a spread offense. those days are gone. Now With saying that..they might stash a couple on PS. I’m guessing Ballentine would be one.

NFL on Newman! Ha.

My guess is they probably feel they have a better chance of retaining Taylor on the PS as they have in the past. The right move in my ever so humble opinion. Time will tell.

The jets found he could not block at even a basic level. He’s as athletic as you like, but he was so raw they couldn’t use him on O. He’d be a pick up for 2 years ahead maybe. That wouldn’t help us now though.

Agree final roster in action will not not be done yet!

Keeping only 4 CBs makes me think they expect Stokes back real soon.

Actually to me he looks as a great comparison to Dillon, especially when Wilson rounds up to be better physical shape.

I'd love to see him show what he can do with the #1s against Chicago. Let him do some of the pounding.

Every now and then a guy comes along and just forces his way into the lineup. The RB unit has been pretty stacked but he managed to crawl up to #3, and he passed some good RBs in the last month. He might get waived after the first game and then resigned to the PS, or he might get 10 touches and turn them into 100 yards and a TD.

Who knows? I remember back when Green and Davenport and Fisher all averaged over 5.0 ypc and I'd love to see the load being spread among 3 backs, if they're all good players. I like what I saw from him when guys got blocked, and I think we're going to get guys blocked this season.
