The Green Bay Packers will start axing players soon. Here’s what our 53-man roster looks like.
QB (3) — Aaron Rodgers, DeShone Kizer, Tim Boyle
Barring an outside addition, this position appears pretty well set.
RB (2) — Jamaal Williams, Ty Montgomery
Aaron Jones is suspended to open the season, so he won’t count for a roster spot.
FB (1) — Aaron Ripkowski
Mike McCarthy loves his fullbacks.
WR (6) — Davante Adams, Randall Cobb, Geronimo Allison, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Jake Kumerow, J’Mon Moore
Two tough cuts here, with Trevor Davis and Equanimeous St. Brown.
TE (4) — Jimmy Graham, Marcedes Lewis, Lance Kendricks, Robert Tonyan
I could see Kendricks going in favor of Tonyan. Instead, I have the Packers keeping them both.
OL (9) — David Bakhtiari, Bryan Bulaga, Lane Taylor, Justin McCray, Corey Linsley, Kyle Murphy, Jason Spriggs, Lucas Patrick, Adam Pankey
I could really see the Packers bringing in someone from the outside here. Their backup offensive lineman have not played well.
DL (6) — Mike Daniels, Kenny Clark, Muhammad Wilkerson, Dean Lowry, Montravius Adams, James Looney
I don’t necessarily know that Looney deserves to stick, but the Packers typically go heavy at this position.
OLB (5) — Nick Perry, Clay Matthews, Reggie Gilbert, Kyler Fackrell, Vince Biegel
Vince Biegel is one of my last guys on.
ILB (4) — Blake Martinez, Oren Burks, Ahmad Thomas, Antonio Morrison
Could the Packers release Morrison even thought they just traded for him? That’s what I had to ponder here.
CB (6) — Tramon Williams, Kevin King, Davon House, Jaire Alexander, Josh Jackson, Quinten Rollins
Rollins is one of my last on as well. I only have him sticking because of his previous starting experience.
S (4) — Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, Kentrell Brice, Josh Jones, Jermaine Whitehead
I could see the Packers going with just three safeties, but I went with Whitehead over Marwin Evans.
ST (3) Mason Crosby, JK Scott, Hunter Bradley
These guys are pretty obvious.
