Actual Signed Roster For 2022

[Schultz]

Much appreciated Tyni.

 

[gopkrs]

Leavitt was not brought in for defensive play, but special teams. Dude led his past team in ST snaps and I have no doubt he very well would come close here IF he made the 53.

"lead the team in ST snaps." That alone does not say much. My thoughts are that our last multiple years of fiasco on ST was a direct result of bad coaching. I think we have a ST coach now. I am not worried at all about what we see there in preseason. Not to mention, the way I have seen Abernathy throw himself around out there; he looks like he is made for special teams. And maybe he can cover. I just thought Leavitt looked weak in coverage and unless he is an all-pro ST player; I can't justify keeping him for that.

Micah Abernathy - BUBBLE
De'Vante Cross - BUBBLE

SPECIAL TEAMS IS WHAT IT IS...

So for those tracking on offense that is 8 guys I think are still playing for a shot...and 22 LOCKS...at least one RB bubble and one TE will happen for sure out of these IMO.
Tyler Goodson - BUBBLE

Juwann Winfree - BUBBLE

Nate Becker- BUBBLE

On defense that is 17 guys not guaranteed or on the "bubble" with 20 locked IMO.

Jack Heflin - BUBBLE
Jonathan Ford - BUBBLE (PS GUY TO ME)
Chris Slayton - BUBBLE
Tipa Galeai - BUBBLE
Ladarius Hamilton - BUBBLE
Kobe Jones - BUBBLE
Ty Summers - BUBBLE
Ray Wilborn - BUBBLE
Shemar Jean-Charles - BUBBLE
Kabion Ento - BUBBLE
Kiondre Thomas - BUBBLE
Rico Gafford - BUBBLE
Innis Gaines - BUBBLE
Tariq Carpenter - BUBBLE
Dallin Leavitt - BUBBLE (ONLY BECAUSE INJURY...DUDE I THINK IS ONE OF OUR HIGHEST SNAP COUNTS ON ST IF HEALTHY)
Micah Abernathy - BUBBLE
De'Vante Cross - BUBBLE

So 42 locks plus 3 ST specialists somehow. The first night at 53 will not be the 53 the next night. I expect 2 RBs on the first night. The 3 cut will be brought back to PS the next day. None are that much more special than the other 2. I've been convinced Davis at TE will make it for ST play, especially without Leavitt. He shouldn't see the field as the #4 TE that often. I expect Leavitt to make the 53 then be IR'd the next day bringing back one of the bubble DB's. I'm not aware of Savages injury updates. Jean-Charles is a lock IMO. Winfree will also make the roster the first day. And I hope Summers has no place on this roster.

You need to understand that Bisaccia was the coach on the team Leavitt led in special teams snaps though.

I see some online chatter about Kenny Stills wanting to play with Aaron Rodgers. I don't see it happening, unless the Packers want to carry 7 WR's. Otherwise, they would have to make a decision on cutting Amari, Cobb or Watkins and I don't see them cutting Cobb or Watkins at this point.

See, I think 7 WR in this season is a wise option. It’s a room full of question marks more so than any year I can remember.

Could be, but I think Winfree and Toure make it to the PS no problem. I doubt they ever would want 7 active for a game, thus, they are sitting someone out every week anyway. If Watkins hadn't been signed or hadn't meshed with Rodgers, then I can see Stills. I just think the Packers have enough "new" receivers, that they don't need another one.

I'm going to have my eyes on Julio down in Tampa, that was the guy I wished they would have brought in a long time ago.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

It will be interesting to see how many of the "bubble" guys the Packers play tonight. A guy like Toure and Winfree are 2 that I assume they want on the PS, if they play them and they shine, that could catch the eyes of another team.

So I’ve got Winfree well ahead of Toure. 32 teams passed on Toure at least 6+ times and many passed 7 times or more. I don’t believe Samori is a threat to go active on a competitors roster this season.
So for me anyways, that’s a minimal risk I can live with.

Winfree would have to be protected on PS or he has a 50/50 shot of getting poached by several teams in the event of injury sometime this season. He’s a legit WR6 or possibly WR5 on some teams. He’s probably better than Amari as a Receiver right now, however Amari is a primary option on ST, so he turns the tide there, barely.

I actually agree on Winfree as well I believe it is slightly more likely that if he isn't on our 53 another team will offer him an option unless protected. Which actually isn't a bad thing.

You can protect what 5 guys? One I'd suspect will always be our kicker, I could see us protecting Danny as our QB3....after that probably looking at a OLB and a S for depth...leaves a WR option possibly.

 

[Mondio]

Someone is going to want Winfree on their 53 I think. I'd like to see a strong showing from him tonight and some special teams contributions so the kid can say, no PS for me this year, I'm on an NFL roster and playing on Sundays.

a month ago, i would have thought he'd be easily replaced. He looks more sure this year not so much a ball of energy going in 5 directions on every route or with the ball. His quick looks decisive and intentional, and he has quick.

There are too many OL and DL looking like they belong as well. I don't think we're going to be able to keep all the guys showing good potential who might not be ready yet. cuts are going to be tough.

You guys think more of Winfree than I do. 6th round pick by Denver in the 2019 draft and hasn't done much in the NFL. Every team has their share of Winfree's and Toure's. Given he's a rookie, I would prefer seeing what Toure can do.

It isn’t that we think more, think like another GM, you aren’t nabbing a rookie day three when Winfree who has shown more IMO as of now unless you had a scouting room screaming about Toure

Stills has had 17 receptions in 23 games with the Texans and Saints over the past two seasons. I don't consider he would present an upgrade over any receiver currently having a chance to make the roster.

Teams are allowed to protect four players on their practice squad each week. You need to be aware that Winfree would have to clear waivers first for the Packers to be able to sign him to their practice squad though.

Correct on waivers, and thanks I couldn’t remember if it was 4 or 5

 

[Krabs]

People get nervous about practice squad players when in reality it doesn't really matter. There are some, Douglas comes to mind as it is a recent practice squad find, that slip through the cracks. However, most teams have their own guys and had them in camp. They usually aren't looking to sign guys from other squads that didn't make a team. They sign their own guys. I'm not worried about losing our 7th or 8th WR to another team. My guess would be that Winfree and Toure would both clear waivers and the Packers would then sign them to their practice squads.

With Watkins & Cobb ahead of #7 (Winfree?) that #7 WR could very likely become the #5 WR well before the Bye Week. I'd rather not risk Chicago, Houston, NYG or Jax claiming Winfree where he'd quite possibly become their #4 or #5 WR on opening weekend. In Chicago the #4 WR on depth chart is EQ or N'Keal Harry... and their OC is former Packer WR/QB/Passing game coach Luke Getsy.

I don't think any of that matters. Sure, there are scouts on other teams watching for players to be cut. Again, I don't think they're super high on Winfree or Toure. The Packers will keep one or the other for the 53. Losing either one isn't going to be a huge deal. If it was then they would be on the 53. We're not talking 3rd round picks here. There will be some surprise cuts that teams will be interested in before these to guys. My bet is no one claims which ever one gets cut and they will land on the Packers practice squad. Like I said, teams already have their own guys. I'm not sure they're drooling over the Packers cuts at WR.

Actually, it seems EQ is currently the #2 receiver on the Bears

The Packers are cutting inside linebacker Ty Summers.

I didn't think he had much of a shot this year. Linebacker play was not up to snuff and ST's seemed iffy even. He seems to work hard, good kid, but sometimes it's not enough for NFL football.

 

[jetfixer]

Winfree vs. Toure who is the best S.T.er? I'm guessing these few final cuts will be based on getting this special teams problems figured out.

winfree and that is why I said him over Toure at this point in time.

Hey, we look like the 2011 GBP compared to that Bears WR room.
