Break Is Over - Time For This Packer Blog To Go!!!

I had my little break!  Followed OTA's. watched the rookie class signing(all signed now), crunched the salary cap members, watched all Packer videos possible AND(as a Packer owner), voted for the Board of Directors!  So, what is the state of the Packers 2016?

First, the present roster - 88 players:


What do I see? First, No Kuuuuuuuhn.  I guess we are moving on!  So, in the present NFL, the fullback position is the dinosaur.  Many items DO NOT EVEN HAVE FULLBACKS!  Wide Receivers, WOW!  Jordy, will he be Jordy & the other battles!  Offensive line, two good draft choices, and a great starting group back!  Tight Ends?  Will Jared Cook be a difference maker?  Running backs - Lacy, new a trim?  On the defensive side, Matthews back outside, and a young group inside!!!  Defensive tackles & defensive ends, NEED to build depth!  Secondary?  A LOT OF TALENT!! Special Teams, a punter battle?  The next few weeks, I will break down each position group!

Packer interviews & videos.  Have you watched any?  I have!  I like what I see!  Rookies?  Well spoken, and focused!  Veterans, ready to lead!  Coaches, preparing for the BIG push!  So, watch & learn!

Salary Cap?  About 9 million left this year.  That is about the middle of the NFL pack.  WARNING!  Next year is going to be ugly!!  Free Agents in 2017 - Josh Sitton, TJ Lang, David Bakhtiari, & JC Tretter!  That is a lot of offensive lineman!  Linebackers - Julius Peppers Nick Perry,  & Sam Barrington.  Tight End, Jared Cook.  Safety, Micah Hyde, defensive line, Datone Jones, running back, Eddie Lacy, and kicker Masthay.  That is a lot of decisions and NOT a lot of money! But, that is next year!

So, 53 players, 10 practice squad players, and 5 pre-season games!  LET THE ANALYSIS BEGIN!
