Are the Packers interested in the Eagles 4th round QB?
First Pratice squad reports are coming in.

First confirmed #Packers practice squad player is G Greg Van Roten. Agent said he didn't want to be claimed because GB gave him a shot.

Doesn't appear #Packers will sign C Sampson Genus or FB Nic Cooper to practice squad.

#Packers won't add OT Shea Allard to practice squad. Still waiting to hear about others.



An Elliot Wolf report
Wes Hodkiewicz‏@WesHod

The #Packers have signed Penn's Greg Van Roten to the practice squad per his agent. Really wanted to stay in GB, felt indebted to Eliot Wolf

NFL source says no Packers cuts claimed on waivers by other teams.


Sometimes I think we over value packer players.
Then again it does not seem very many players were pick up throught waviers this year. I own sen reports of 5 players total being claimed.

Do you think that might mean they're expecting Sherrod back sooner than later?
Wow. 7 OL is crazy thin. I know what TT has said about Clifton in the past, but I have to wonder if he isn't on some sort of an emergency list if we need it. I mean, EDS and an UDFA to backup your entire offensive line doesn't sound good.

A team has to be really desperate to take on a new player to their 53 man roster AFTER training camp and AFTER having just gone through their own cuts. That's burning a roster spot while the player learns a whole new system. Especially at receiver, where our surplus was, that's not a small undertaking.

TT: Talked with teams on Friday, but no one tells you the truth and you go through that whole dance.

At least Ted does not Lie, he just never says anything even when he is talking.

He shouldn't have acted like one catch was the Super Bowl winner, IMO.


Maybe the Packers weren't interested.
Glad to see Coleman made it to the PS.

I like his moxie and his arm. Heard he devoured tape during training camp trying to learn quickly. Now that he has a chance to work with the best d*mn quarterback coaching staff in the NFL, the kid could become a good one.
Even if he was offered a spot on the Packers PS, it makes perfect sense for Gurley to choose MIN. No way he was cracking the GB roster this season, and even in the future he'd have an uphill battle. He's much more likely to crack the 53 in MIN.

True. Or just more interested in Borel for one PS spot.
The fact that Datko impressed in shorts and sucked with pads while admitting issues with compensating for his previously injured shoulder suggests he has good feet. If that is true and he can get better technique with his upper body, then maybe they have a player. I think that is why he is on the PS and not just let go.
@BobMcGinn
Say #Packers have 3 OL go down vs. #49ers. Hey, bleep happens. Who steps in? Goode at G/C? Nope. Gimme Merling at RT, Daniels at G/C.


@BobMcGinn
Big factor why J. Boykin (6-2, 218) outpointed D. Borel (6-0, 194) was size. #Packers like WRs big. Tori Gurley (6-4, 232) just too bulky.

So Gurly gets sent to the minors. I guess he was out of options with the Packers.

The Buffalo Bills have released WRs Kamar Aiken, Derek Hagan, Ruvell Martin and Naaman Roosevelt.
