Packer Are Still Juggling the 90 Man Roster!

It is May 10th, 2016.  The Packers are still working on the 90 man roster and here is the latest:

Added
Marwin Evans - Safety

Signed
Jason Spriggs - Offensive Tackle
Casey Pierce - Tight End
Demetris Anderson - Defensive Tackle
Brandon Burks - Running Back
Kyle Murphy - Offensive Tackle
Alstevis Squirewell - Fullback
Cory Tucker - Offensive Guard

Released
Josh Boyd - Defensive Tackle
William Campbell - Defensive Tackle
David Grinnage - Tight End
Dennis Parks - Wide Receiver
Jeremy Vujnovich - Offensive Tackle

The latest moves are telling us something!  First, the Fullback position? I am afraid, yes I hate to say this, we may not see Kuuuuuuuuhn back in 2016!  First, I need ti explain!

John Kuhn married a lovely young lady, Lindsay.  This young lady was my neighbor!  Growing up, she loved across the street!  Later, she move to a rival high & competed against my high school in track & field!  (Remember, the Packer Buddies, are retired track & field coaches!)  Lindsay met John Kuhn at Shippensburg and later married! I was at the wedding!  As you see, the Packers Buddies have a special place in their heart for the Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhn Family!  Whatever happens,
John Kuhn, left his mark on the Green Bay Packers and the Packer community!

It seems the Packers are moving on.  On the roster is Ripkowski & Squirewell, Kuhn is still a free agent.  Be prepared for a change!

At defensive tackle, releasing Josh Boyd?  Was a little surprised!  With Raji retired, and Pennell suspended for the first 4 games, the Packers have only Daniels & Guion with any game experience for the big men!  That ain't good!  (I would keep Raji's member on speed dial!)

Tight End - another position that is like an anchor dragging the offense the past few years!  Looks like Quarless, a free agent is history!  As I mentioned in an earlier blog post, Jared Cook is a great pick up!  And Richard Rodgers is good, but not great.  The rest of the roster - Perillo, Backman, and newcomers Hunter & Pierce are unknowns!

So, time marches on!  What will the final 53 look like?  One thing is for sure, the Final 53 man roster we bill different than last year!
