Hey CWIMM, posting this stuff is my job. Since I provide no other quality interaction to this forum, its the only way to keep my post count up.

My bad, I'm sorry, didn't know about that In that case I will of course leave those updates to you

It's all good! Keep at it. I probably won't get to watch things as closely today as I'd like. 1 last one from me.

Stealing @paco’s thunder…

If we can't keep Melton on the practice squad (not overly worried about that) then using a spot on Chrest would make sense.

Jimmy was my throw in on my 53 I thought my make it when others didn't. Had a good camp it sounded like. Could make PS if he doesn't get a shot elsewhere.

Makes sense as an option.

Anyone know the scoop on Orzech? Is his current contract unwieldy? Seems like a risk to expose him to waivers.

He's a vested vet and not subject to waivers. Most believe there's an agreement he'll resign Wednesday and that this is so they can keep Tenuta on the roster to IR him.

I had such high hopes for Jean-Charles. He had 1 game with some good moments this preseason. But otherwise looked like crap.

Not cut?

No surprises so far.

Would have predicted Allen cut and Heath makes it.

Yup. Both deserve it. Allen will get on the 53 at some point this season.

Cutting Orzech is a smart move. Best player to *wink* cut and then resign after IR'ing Tenuta.

when ya see established vets playing late in PS games it's usually not a good sign for that vet, it means the coaches are giving him a last chance for the vet to change the GM's mind, obviously O Donnell didn't, Newman is probably next.

also why where we playing Clark till half time, could there be a trade. I didn't see any reason for him playing.

Trade Clark?!? I know there's a focus on youth right now, but that's crazy talk. Plus he's only 27. It was strange, but I think MLF wanted to stretch out a few guys and get them some reps before the season starts. Clark hadn't played at all yet. A little change in mindset in the new post-12 era.

just spiffing, didn't take into consideration he hadn't played yet in PS games, or that we'd owe so much dead money, my bad

you are forgiven. Just don't let it happen again.

Sad to see Thump Gaines cut. Hope to see him back on PS.

Gaines and SJC are not surprises individually, but cutting both means we don't have a clear backup nickel. I'm surprised they're both gone, especially with Gaines' ST play

I'd be fine with it. But this was year 3 for him. He hasn't shown enough improvement to think he's ever really going to get that much better. Does suck getting cut on your birthday. Happy B-day Innes!

Cut so far:

*Matt Orzech (Huber)
Cole Schneider (Wood)
Lew Nichols (Huber)
Jason Lewan (Wood)
Cody Chrest (Wood)
Austin Allen (Wood)
Jimmy Phillips (Huber)
Jean Delance (Schneidman)
Nate McCrary (Wood)
Kiondre Thomas (Wood)
Shemar Jean-Charles (Silverstein)
Innis Gaines (Wood)
Tyrell Ford (Hodge)
Benny Sapp (Silverstein)
Dre Miller (PackersNews)
Kadeem Telfort (Schneidman)
Duece Watts (Silverstein)

*The Packers intend to re-sign Orzech on Wednesday per Bill Huber.

A least they're letting guys know they are on the team. Now they can show up for practice on time.
