Then Ted will make them a Packer.
Ed Williams and Mitchell Henry are another two possibilities.
"I'd like to sign James Jones to the practice squad."
- Aaron Rodgers
"If he gets cut"
- Ted Thompson
I would rather see Joe Thomas starting if we get him. How dum of the Browns to release him????
When is the deadline for Minnysoda to claim our guys and is there a limit how many?
Apparently NE out smarted the Packers again, they have grabbed Thornton. I do not get it but what the heck.
Kyhri Thornton (New England)
I have seen a report that Abbrederis is on the Packers practice squad.
Yes.
@TomSilverstein: WR Jared Abbrederis cleared waivers and will be signing with the #Packers' practice squad.
Uncle Ted is a jeenyous. Making Abbrediris fake a concussion for 4 weeks and then pulling Tolzien so he wouldn't get too many passes. The fumbled punt was just icing on the cake!
Thornton going to the Patriots mean no other team put a claim in. Show show much the rest of the league thought of him in the 2014 draft. And Bradford wasn't claimed either. I know it's been said and despite the other 2014 picks doing so well, it's tough seeing a 3rd and 4th round pick gone after just two offseasons.
Not surprised on Abbrederis. He is such an injury risk right now and played so little that no way a team would take a flier on him for their 53 man roster.
Rotheram signed to the PS. First guy they signed. Could be a top run blocker, needs work at pass protection.
Practice Squad so far
WR Jared Abbrederis
OG Matt Rotheram
LB James Vaughters
Also reports that Perillo is there, too. We'll see.
Meanwhile
@ByRyanWood: Sixth-round DT Christian Ringo has multiple practice squad offers, per source. Expectation for him to sign with #Packers, but not official.
@TomSilverstein: The #Packers won't be getting TE Mitchell Henry back on their practice squad. The #Broncos have claimed him on waivers.
@BobMcGinn: #Steelers sign TE Harold Spears to P-squad after #Packers cut him on reduction to 75. Spears runs well, caught ton of passes in practice.
Carl Bradford signed to PS
Ryan Wood @ByRyanWood <small class="time">25 seconds ago</small>
#Packers are signing former fourth-round ILB Carl Bradford to the practice squad, per source.
Practice Squad(so far)
WR Jared Abbrederis
OG Matt Rotheram
TE Justin Perillo
LB James Vaughters
LB Carl Bradford
Per James Jones agent, Jones is on his way to Green Bay for a visit.
Phew, thank goodness. Jones and Bradford, all is right.
#Packers sign Christian Ringo to practice squad. That's at least 6: Ringo, Abbrederis, Perillo, Rotheram, Vaughters, Bradford. Four to go.

Agent is just putting that out there to entice other teams to given him a contract offer.
Blanchard must be fielding calls about being on a 53 somewhere. Being the 3rd QB can't be near as good as PS QB in GB, right?
@TomSilverstein
Packers are signing OT Jeremy Vujnovich to the practice squad. Was cut yesterday.
James Jones has arrived in Green Bay. I still say they don't sign him. If James Jones is the answer, what is the question?
He's coming home. (Unless his contract demands are ridiculous) You can either accept it or not....
He'll get a league minimum deal with incentives added.

What does that even mean? If I don't accept it if they sign him will he go away?
quote:what is the question?
"To be or not to be"?
People still think they aren't signing him? They couldn't have brought him into GB any quicker lol
Packers needed another WR on the outside and Jones is it
He'll battle with Janis and Monty for # 3 WR snaps
Packers want to sign him after the bears game so they don't have to guarantee a full years' salary.
He wants some guarantees
And he'll have to wear 82, 85 or 87 this time around
RB John Crockett signed to the PS. That's 8 now, 2 openings left
Practice Squad(so far)
WR Jared Abbrederis
TE Justin Perillo
LB Carl Bradford
LB James Vaughters
OG Matt Rotheram
RB John Crockett
OT Jeremy Vujnovich
DT Christian Ringo
Blanchard? (Is he eligible?) Need a QB, right?
I want:
--Abby
--Pinkard
--Rotteram
--Crockett
--Vaughters
--Blanchard
--Ringo
--Vujnovich
--Thomas
Didn't get Pink or Thomas
#Packers considered keeping QB Matt Blanchard on practice squad, but ultimately decided 4 QBs was simply too many, per a league source.

Your #3 runs the scout team in practice. Not much for a #4 to do.
Except learn and learn and learn some-more as to how to play QB in the MM system.
