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
#84 is also available.
Practice squad players are issued numbers so methinks Abby keeps that.
He was just cut by the Giants.
@TomSilverstein: #Packers want WR Myles White back for their practice squad. But he'll have to clear waivers. And agree to return.
@WesHod: White has year left of PS-eligibility but curious what his move is if he clears waivers. Meanwhile Ed Williams flying to DET for workout.
@WesHod: Also have to remember #Packers could've promoted White last year but went with Kevin Dorsey instead. Contending with Abbrederis, too.
@TomSilverstein: It was just pointed out to me that not a single WR was claimed off waivers following the cuts. That doesn't bode well for Myles White.
1. He'll clear waivers. No one likes smaller guys.
2. He knows this offense. He's ahead of Abbredabellrung. He made the cut until Jones became available, so Packers are his best chance.
3. Not seeing the relevance of last year's Dorsey move. It failed.
Speaking of scrubs and practice squad players
Perhaps we can show these guys a little respect. While they aren't the elite of elite
( 150 out of 1 million HS players) they are pretty damn good athletes
Maybe they should have been better math students...
Receiver Ed Williams returning to the #Packers' practice squad. Flying back from Detroit tonight to sign. That's nine of the 10

#Packers completed practice squad by signing CB Robertson Daniel out of BYU. Originally signed with #Raiders

Practice Squad
WR Jared Abbrederis
TE Justin Perillo
LB Carl Bradford
LB James Vaughters
OG Matt Rotheram
RB John Crockett
OT Jeremy Vujnovich
DT Christian Ringo
WR Ed Williams
CB Robertson Daniel
No room for Myles it appears.
CB Robertson Daniel is the only player signed to the PS that wasn't with the team.
Has good size/speed for the position. 6'1 and ran a 4.46 40 at his pro day with a 35 1/2 inch vertical. Did 24 reps with 225 lbs so he's got good strength for a DB
According to Packers.com Ed Williams is not signed to the practice squad.
Not yet, but multiple beat writers reported it. He's flying back today to sign, apparently
quote:1. He'll clear waivers. No one likes smaller guys.
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!
Way to go thinking out of the box Rat.
Great synergy, really breaks the blue-sky paradigm.
Yikes....
Former Green Bay Packers receiver Adrian Coxson, 23, has announced his retirement as he is still dealing with the symptoms of a severe Grade 3 concussion. The next hit could "kill me", he says.
Good for the young man. Life is too long to risk your head.
I see good things from him too. linhttp://www.vanquishthefoe.com/...ile-robertson-danielk
I also like the fact that he is a "man" type corner. Capers system relies on the corners to stick to their WR while he dials up a blitz. Goodness knows our pass rush is not that great without a blitz.
Glad to see Perrillo and Crockett there. I hope we can hold them. Amazed Bradford is there and a little surprised Rotheram is there, but I know developing OL guys is always important. He just didn't seem to show much, but then I didn't focus on the line during preseason; I rely on you guys (dangerous, isn't it?) :-)
How long do teams have to be able to pillage practice squads, is there a deadline? if I missed it in an above post, just have me put down.
No deadline.
#Packers sign WR Ed Williams to practice squad: http://pack.rs/3o45i
Burn.
@WesHod: Ed Williams will not keep Paul Hornung's No. 5, though. He'll switch to No. 19, previously worn by Myles White #Packers

What H5 said.
Also, keep in mind that other teams have to sign PS players for their active rosters, not to their own PS.
I think this is what 'protects' a lot of our players, although new PS salary rules can certainly have an influence.
It's also worth noting that this year is the first that all player costs will be charged to the salary cap; both the 53-man roster AND the 10-man PS, as well as any player on a reserve list.
I love X4. Thanks Timmy.
Raijon Neal released in Miami as they opt for Jonas Gray instead
Tough being a fringe player, especially an RB that Goalline fancies
Neal will be back somewhere. RB's go down like every week in this league.

He played for the Patriots. They need to learn all the spy techniques

His arrival on PS suggests Dimitri Goodson's departure, after week 1

I don't know. Is it him, or Banjo, or Boyd? We will be faced with a similar situation when Guion comes back. I believe all 3 of those players are riding the bubble. Goodson is a good STs player, as is Banjo. We have a lot of CBs who can step in at S if need be.
