30 years old, solid plugger. Not Aaron Donald. A third rounder would be amazingly good. A 4th rounder more likely.
Doing my research on some of these guys...
- Legs lack some proportion and girth
Sing it to the tune of "She got Betty Davis eyes"
"Dudes got ...Timmy Harris legs"
If you are not paying attention to Keke Kingsley then please tune in!!!

BJ Raji had 6.5 sacks his second year and I had 6.5 sacks my second year. I REALLY want to see @BucketsAll_Day finish with 7 this year !! 😤
The young fella is exciting to watch!#ImAFan #MidRoundPick
He's showing more potential than Skates Adams ever has. If he can progress these last few games and Martin doesn't get hurt the middle of that defense may not be a total liability.
He needs to show it against a solid opponent.
Gives me more of a Cullen Jenkins vibe. My big fear though is that he will perform well enough this year that it will cause Gute to think DL is fine and that he doesn't need to pour any more resources into the position. Keke looks like a good rotational/situational guy, but at 288 lbs. I don't think he's you're key guy on every down.
Exactly what GD said. It's good to see him make progress in his pass rush, but what we need out of our DL is stout run stopping.
Adams has improved in that area, but I can't support giving him a 2nd contract as he didn't show a damn thing until contract year.
I’d be more concerned Gute locks him up with an extension ala Deano.
We've got 2-3 guys on defense that are seemingly taking a step up in performance. Primarily Gary and Keke; Adams is still on the fringe.
They have a long way to go, of course, but no reason not to be optimistic heading into the home stretch of this season + playoffs.
Speaking of Adams, if the Packers make an offer to him, I hope it's basically vet minimum. Even considering his (slight) improvement, he has injuries that slowed his development, and keep him from realizing his full potential.... whatever that may be.
He's also too far down the list of key players that need to be extended, especially considering the possibility of the cap shrinking.
Adams is the type of guy that always got a 2nd contract with Ted. Recall we use to talk about how only x players on the roster were not drafted by the team. Well, it’s because guys like Adams always got a 2nd deal.
Lets see what Gute does.
The Packers have waived DL Kingsley Keke.

Dude was out for a few games with an illness. Something sounds fishy.
Maybe the Cards have waived JJ Watt and the Pack's gonna sign him! 
More opportunity for Lancaster & Lowry to shine against a physical, playoff opponent.

They have to make room for Cobb, Mercilus and Z
52 guys on the roster after this cut. Cobb, Smith and Mercilus still on IR.
2 more cuts are coming.

It could be he sucks.
Thin position getting thinner. Odd. He must've done something beyond poor performance.
Hopefully they're signing a vet. Preseason super star Heflin isn't worth two shits.
There was speculation they would elevate RJ McIntosh from the PS for this game. He was one of the protected four.

Doubt it. They have to cut two more just to get the roster numbers right.

I'm sure the CRACK journalists who "cover" the Packers will be getting to the bottom of the story ... about the same time they reveal who it was in the front office who pushed to take Kevin King over he whose name must not be spoken.
Fairly significant development having your 4th DLineman waived from what was already a position of weakness just 3 days before a playoff game against an opponent who approach to offense is run, run, and then run again, but no news on what precipitated the release?
The Packer press reports what it is fed, nothing more.
So one of these guys would be the replacement. I'm assuming Moore will be brought up.
DL Abdullah Anderson: He’s played 49 defensive snaps over in three games for the Packers already this season, including back-to-back games in Weeks 17-18. The Packers clearly like him as a rotational option up front. Expect him to be a gameday elevation as depth against the 49ers run game.
DL R.J. McIntosh: The 2018 fifth-round pick of the Giants has been in Green Bay for much of the season, but he hasn’t been elevated for a game despite being protected several times. Could this finally be his opportunity?
My money's on Abdullah, former Bear who doesn't dazzle but is decent depth.
Wow, being released just before the Super Bowl run. That's gotta hurt.

I remember an interview with another player and when asked about Keke he deferred to the coaching staff with some comment about its personal.
Edit: I just saw this.

#Packers have released DL Kingsley Keke, according to an NFL source with access to the NFL wire. He did not play in the last three games, one because of COVID but was inactive for "personal" reasons before that. LaFleur wouldn't say much else when asked about what those were.

You are correct sir. Spot on.
I’m sure Ryan Wood and Tom S. are working their sources right now to get to the bottom of this.
There are some things that we will never know. This is one of them..
he had a few concussions, so that could be a factor too.
This move frees up $2.4m in cap space next year.
Also, Kenny Clark had said a few weeks ago he had a talk with Keke and when asked about it he said he was going to keep that conversation to himself. In hindsight I guess I can see why.

For as much as some on this board didn't like Christl or McGinn, at least they were willing to ask tough questions and not afraid of being frozen out by the PR staff.
Just means more snaps for Zadarius Smith on the inside.
If you read the tea leaves it doesn't look like he would have played anyway, for whatever reason. And they need roster spots to bring guys back.
I can't say for sure, of course, but it seemed to me that Kingsley has been in the doghouse for a number of weeks. He was in some kind of trouble a week or 2 before he missed time for Covid, and I'm guessing he couldn't get out of it in the weeks since.
