Cut Greg Van Roten today. What next? Keep EDS?

Interesting. Possibly an indication of signing EDS, and then "hoping" that Bulaga can lock down a T spot, and then moving Barclay back to the interior back up. Sherrod backing up both Tackle positions? Lots of "ifs".
TT needed that $150,000 cap room for a big free agent signing.
Yes...lets push the panic button in February over a crappy OL getting released.
Ted's chair needed a little more padding.
NFL Rule 126.14.33 subsection 69
" No NFL team may employ more than (1) Ivy League lineman in any league year unless one of them is on Injured Reserve"
Its the Rule, you can look it up.
TT is just getting the Packers into compliance

Lining his pockets again!
'course, we all know Ivy Leaguers can't play center....
A good sign that we have enough depth to kick him to the curb?
Yes. but its really just business as usual
van roten got hurt and went on IR in October and teams can't cut him until he is healed up and cleared medically. Then they settle and send him on his way

Gabe Carimi was cut earlier by Lovie. ROTTT just appeasing the locals.
Just in case, I am only kidding.
Van Roten looked pretty pathetic when he was healthy.
what else do you need? a BFH!
You need to be able to engage the defensive line in intellectual conversation.
Suh isn't capable of an intellectual conversation.
FWIW, his agent was told the team "wanted to get bigger." No link, saw it on Twitter.
The goal is to confuse the defense.
308 and 307 are bigger than 303 and I didn't go to an Ivy League school.
I for one hope "getting bigger" on the OL is true. Unless you are running a true ZBS, bigger (not fatter) is better.
The more prolific NFL running teams, tend to trend on the taller, heavier side. The Chiefs are the exception, going 6'4.5" and 306 average, though it's a bit skewed with a 6'8" RT.
The Packers go 6'3.5 and 308.
49ers go 6'5 and 318.
Now with Eddie Lacy, I would like to see us trend toward 6'4" 315.
All these complicated numbers get confusing.

Signed by Seattle for a one year deal. Why do I get the feeling this kid will become the next Pouncey under them...
Someone has to have one of those miniature magnetic chess players to bring along to practices, the team bus, etc.
