From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.
Surprise keep for me is Ford. I wonder if they’re banking on blocked kick upside. Also Carpenter. I’m not seeing anything special there. Maybe they’re trying to grow their STs from the ground up. Carpenter can be a core guy. Surprise cuts for me is Gafford. I just thought with his speed he would be a must keep on STs. I guess I’m also surprised they cut both RBs. I thought it would be one or the other.
Yeah, I think Carpenter showed enough on the field on Thursday to see that he can be a core Teams guy. Big, fast and physical. I didn't think he'd stick, but I wouldn't consider it a big surprise, either. Ford is more of a surprise given the camps that Heflin and Slayton had.
I agree with this, but I also think all 3 will be retained including the PS. I don't think any of them would have been at risk of getting claimed, but maybe the rare size and draft status of Ford made him a more valuable asset to protect? I'll be disappointed if at least 1 of Heflin and Slayton aren't on the PS, but preferably both.
I would think that Ford is the best bet to get to the PS. Heflin and Slayton the better players now and more likely to be nabbed by some other team.
