It was a combo on releasing Leavitt. Savage came off the IR, so they won't have room for Leavitt in the safety room. Then they did need a spot on the 53 for Taylor.
No doubt. It’s a weaker RB class at the Top, but there’s a sizable RB group that are worthy of a Day2 expenditure and several very intriguing prospects. A second guy I’d be eyeing with a Day 3 is Jonathan Brooks. He’ll be under radar to injury. He’s going to be a small injury risk but big time player investment. We have time to be patient on his return timing also which is not our usual scenario. Really good All-around RB there.
Brooks, Benson, Allen, Corum, Sanders all come to mind for that Day2 strong consideration. Estime late third even, but I don't pair him in a backfield with a Dillon type too similar.
fixing now. Knew I had to have missed something I fell behind too mcuh
Savage designated to return last I saw. GB has 21 days to activate at which point a roster spot will be needed.
Correct, doesn't eat a spot yet, clock started yesterday.
He's on the active roster, or was it just for the turkey day game callup? He was claimed on waivers so I assume that wasn't the case.
On the way into work that's exactly what they said. They're making room for Savage and Stokes. Robinson and Melton could very well end up back on the practice squad.
In a few weeks they will start signing futures contracts to get the guys signed for off season and training camp. We can then go with the 2024 roster thread.
1. Ego, $$$, and the inability to do anything else.
Thousands of people do it. There are only about 20-25 starting caliber NFL QBs at any given time.
Very true. I don't follow how that answers the (apparent) question I was addressing of why people would subject themselves to the injuries sustained in the NFL. I gave three answers and then added another thought topic.

Hard to say. Maybe if our record was better or we had even more injuries it may have been considered.Kind of thought that the Packers might kick the tires on Amos and they still could, but they signed another FA CB, David Long.
Packers add David Long off waivers from Panthers
The Packers are adding some depth to their secondary and special teams.
Honestly, at 6-6, wins over 2 very good teams (Lions, Chiefs) and a pretty soft 5 games ahead of us, I like our chances. Add to that, the offense seems to be improving from game to game, maybe you get Jones back soon, as well as Jaire, Stokes and possibly Musgrave and the Packers could actually be a dangerous Wildcard team.
I would not disagree with the move if we went that way. Many teams who become obvious contenders look to strengthen the roster with a late season veteran. On the other hand we let Rasul go for very little when our record indicated that we were playing out our schedule. Gute probably had a light go off in his head about Amos. Comparatively, he is thinking there are other positions which may be in greater need of a late season vet if one is available. TE comes to mind. RB is fragile this year. DT is always in need. Ron Wolf made a big move in 1995 by acquiring TE Keith Jackson mid-season. He added Jim McMahon in 1996 late just in case Favre did get hurt. It appears Gute wants to stay very young right now. Rodgers and Cobb and Big Dog created a generation gap.
I would be surprised if Musgrave is back before February. An injured kidney is nothing to mess around with.
