Good luck with that. It sounds like he's passing a gallstone.
Take a shot of demon sperm, that should move God along.

And was edged out as the best NCAA punter by Zeke Bratkowski. And working over the summer prior to his Jr. year he hurt his back punting, did not hardly play his junior year and when a new coach came in for his senior year he was almost completely passed over.

I would have to get even more money because I am in it for the money. But the thought of fluffing makes me cringe. I am not a natural, instinctive fluffer. The clip board holder job suites me better - the job has tangible assets, with a solid basis for getting work done, and I can hand it back at the end of the day. What is not to like? 
Adrian Peterson is signing a one-year deal with the #Lions, sources tell me and @RapSheet.

Since leaving GB in 2016, 2013 Packer 1st round pick Datone Jones has been with 6 different teams and played a total of 8 games (7 in 2017 and 1 in 2018).
Since Gutey traded him during the 2018 season, 2014 1st round pick HaHa has already been with 3 other organizations and, if he resumes his career, will join a 4th.
Since Gutey traded 2015 1st round pick Randall to Cleveland early in 2018, Damarious has bounced from the Browns to the Raiders and will be, if he is picked up, on his 4th squad in less than 3 seasons.
I noticed quite a few ex-Packers getting the ax yesterday. I assume they remain not-ready-for-prime-time.
In addition to the ones noted above:
Jayrone Elliott (Steelers)
Ibraheim Campbell (Titans)
Kyle Murphy (OL) (Giants)
Rich Rod (NOT the Redskins)
Josh Hawkins (Falcons)
Kentrell Brice (Cards)
J'Mon Moore (Browns) **Edited to add this**
Always liked Jayrone Elliot - he's so close & every coaching staff thinks "I can fix him!" Until they can't.
Good, try hard guy that just can't quite get there.
Rich Rod & J'mon are still around?!?! Yeeeesh!
Jayrone was signed to the Steelers practice squad.

Pretty much a collection of scrubs with the exception of DickPlod and J'Mon.

Packers try out Seahags Center Britt

Packers try out Seahags Center Britt
I don't get it.
JS Online:
Britt, the Seahawks’ starting center the past four seasons, is an intriguing prospect for the Packers, who do not have a true backup center on their roster and would have to rely on guards Lucas Patrick or Elgton Jenkins to get them through if something happened to starter Corey Linsley.
The Packers cut rookie center Jake Hanson, who took most of the snaps with the No. 2s in training camp, although Hanson was signed to the practice squad.
Britt, a source said, is healthy and ready to practice after rehabbing his knee. He recently visited the Seahawks and was cleared medically.
Peter King just revised his picks....we're in!
If the cops ever need a DNA sample of Tom Brady they can just swab Peter King’s chin.
F that tool!

The usage of PS players has been relaxed dramatically this year. Hanson (or any 2 PS players) can play in any game without filing for a roster move according the the INBOX at Packers.com. So it isn't like he is inaccessible should they need him. However, it wasn't explained if the 2 had to be declared before game time. That is a question I asked them. I will let you know if they answer it.
Something else I've noticed is that players placed on an IR list this year can (apparently) return after 3 weeks, although the PUP remains at 8 games.

Broncos’ OLB Von Miller injured a tendon in his ankle on the last play of practice today, and he is expected to need surgery that is likely to end his season, league source tells ESPN.

Jayrone can beat up on camp bodies and look impressive at times, but once he's consistently up against starter caliber players, he shows he's mostly a marginal NFL player. That said, he's been good enough to hang in the fringes of the NFL for a few years now so he's done better than most street FA type guys. Hopefully he's made himself and his family a good living.
Denver expressed interest in signing former Rams’ and Packers’ LB Clay Matthews, but was told he is “not going to play,” per source. Matthews would have been a strong replacement for the injured Von Miller.

He's still willing to play "with the right offer".

Maybe he's waiting to sign with GB after week 1...
Green Bay intends to fill its open roster spot with a second-year defensive tackle.

Sounds like Snacks is out of the equation. I generally like Baltimore pick ups. Hopefully he can turn into a real contributor.
”Mack and Cheese”. Good addition and cheaper! I can see him in rotation at nose tackle run defense.

@mrtundra posted:Me neither. I had thought they would give our DL a legit back up, like Snacks Harrison, or even our RT position, with Veldeer. Maybe it's still early???
Well, the Packers went after DT Daylon Mack. A teammate of Keke's at Texas A&M. He will most likely be cheaper, and younger, than Snacks. Hopefully he is a run stopper.
Even if he was on the PS, that is basically an extension of the 53 man roster this year. They can move a PS guy to the 53 man roster on game day. You can also protect any 4 guys on the PS on a week by week basis, which is nice. Wonder if those 4 guys get a bigger paycheck?
I'm glad they're expanding the rosters. Needed to happen about 10 years ago.

All true, and he is on the PS not the 53.
The Green Bay Packers will complete their 53-man roster by adding a defensive lineman ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Minnesota Vikings. According to Rob Demovsky of ESPN, the Packers will sign former Baltimore Ravens defensive lineman Daylon Mack, filling the team's open roster spot.
