I've very happy Rasheed is sticking around. I've got really high hopes for him. Future OL Walker, Runyan, Myers, Tom, Jenkins

Ryan Wood and Tom Silverstein were saying that kicker was absolutely lights out in camp on their podcast. Definite practice squad candidate. Keeping Walker is interesting wit Njiman and Tom already here and having Bakh and Jenkins back at practice. Could be insurance for both in case of reinjury bbut I wonder if theyre setting themselves up for life with Bakh. I dont think its even worth moving on next season but the following year youve gotta get him off the books. Gives you 2 years to develop Tom and Walker at RT and move Jenkins to LT.

Tom has the inside flexibility as well. I wondered why he didn't get more snaps at center. But they have liked Hanson this camp. Regardless, I think we've got the potential to be extremely deep on the OL for the next several years. With a good path to move on from Bakh eventually.

Maybe. If he heals up, the life of a lineman is pretty long. Time will tell how much of old Bak returns

Toure and Abernathy are confirmed to be on the 53.

Somewhere PackerNation is wearing a &%$@-eating grin...

Hope we get him back.

Why do I count 54 with Tonyan, Jenkins, and Bakh. Or is one of them on the PUP?

Could be there are trading nijman yet?

Thanks y'all for posting the updates.

Aaron Rodgers has reportedly made the 53 man roster

Yoop is pizzed.

The team needs to regrow its WR room again. Lazard, Watkins, and Cobb are on their last year of their deals and that is likely our top 3. Watson, Doubs, and Toure need to develop for next year. It makes sense to keep all three when they all look promising. Winfree turns 26 next week. Hes already in his prime and isnt special. No reason to keep him. Watson and Doub present a good boundary duo while Rodgers and Toure can battle out for the slot next year. Add in another rookie in say the 3rd or 4th round and you can have a decent room for years to come as long as this class isnt the colossal failure that 2018 was.

When you are 26, have less than 500 yards to your name in the league, and just got waived in year 4...it’s time to go back home and see if the local car dealership is hiring.

Yup. He graduated with a useless degree in Sociology. If it wasn’t for his football career he’d be crying for student loan forgiveness.

So it looks like the Packers' initial roster has Toure over Winfree AND kept only 2 RBs.

We'll see what happens with waivers, but WHEW, what a big day for people who have argued with me on this board the past couple weeks

QB (2): 12 Aaron Rodgers, 10 Jordan Love

RB (2): 33 Aaron Jones, 28 AJ Dillon

Released: 27 Patrick Taylor, 39 Tyler Goodson, 34 Dexter Williams

Waived/injured: 30 Shawn Davis, 38 Innis Gaines

Spec. (3): 2 Mason Crosby, 16 Pat O'Donnell, 56 Jack Coco

Released: 45 Ramiz Ahmed

Top surprises for me are:

- 2 RBs... Didn't think they'd actually do it.
- Tyler Davis survives a brutal camp. Must be someone's favorite project.
- Rasheed Walker also had a rough camp, yet made it over Caleb Jones.
- Jonathan Ford over both Heflin and Slayton.
- Both Leavitt and Carpenter making it over 6th CB. If feel like those two are on thin ice...
