90 Man Roster Takes Shape!

Just finished counting and the Packer Roster is up to 90.  And the free agents of the Packers are still out there, and MAY stay there:

Brett Goode
James Jones
John Kuhn
Mike Neal
Andrew Quarless
Sean Richardson

Each of these players have contributed over the past few years, but the end seems to be certain for all 6 of the players.  Sean Richardson had been a great back-up defensive back & a huge contributor on special teams.  He has had some health issues and the Packers Roster is deep in the secondary!  So, farewell Sean Richardson!


Andrew Quarless has made some big catches over the years, but has not been a replacement for the departed Jermichael Finley.  Also, lately Quarless has made some bad decisions off the field!  That makes him easy to let go!  Again, at least of the field, Quarless has played hard & contributed to the Packer success!


Mike Neal has been a starter at times and a dependable back up at the line backer position.  He has given 7 good years, with injuries holding him back early in his career.  Played a lot of minutes on defense and made some big plays over the years.  Thanks for the effort Mike!


James Jones!  He left the Packers and came back next year when Jordy went down!  He did a great job early in the season!  James has always been a class act & a BIG contributor the past 10 years!  Yes, ten years is a long NFL career!  Thank you James Jones!  You will be missed!!!


Brett Goode.  Long snapper for 9 years!  That is a lot of punts & field goals!  And, you know what?  I cannot remember a lot of bad snaps!  With his injury last year, Rick Lovato came in and seemed to do a great job!  So, as long snappers go, the time is now!  Thanks for the dependable snaps!


And last, but NOT LEAST John Kuhn!  This one is difficult!  Kuuuuuuuuuuuuhn will be missed!  Dependable - YES.  Big plays - YES!  Aaron Rodgers security blanket - YES.  Community following - YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!  A true professional!  John Kuhn will be missed, BUT not forgotten!


This is a good group of players!  NOT GREAT, but good!  Bring on the youth!
