Who Will Make The Packer Roster At Safety?

The last position - Safety:

The players:

Morgan Burnett
Ha Ha Clinton-Dixx
Micah Hyde
Chris Banjo
Kentrell Brice
Marwin Evans
Jermaine Whitehead

Starters - Morgan Burnett & Ha Ha Clinton-Dixx are entering their third year together & should be one of the better pair in the league.  Micah Hyde, does a little of everything in the secondary.  And Chris Banjo has played a lot in 2015 & is a special teams warrior.  Those 4 should be safe!

Now, of Brice, Evans, & Whitehead, who may stick?  The name that comes up is Kentrell Brice. The rookie from Louisiana Tech has a shot!

So, I'm ready to pick my final 53 - the only change will be - Lerentee McCray, traded to Buffalo.

OFFENSE(24)
QB(2) - Aaron Rodgers & Brett Hundley
FB(1) - Aaron Ripkowski
RB(3) - Eddie Lacy, James Starks & Brandon Burks - (Josh Crockett on IR)
TE(3) - Jared Cook, Richard Rodgers, and Justin Perillo - (Kennard Backman& Henry Mitchell on IR)
WR(6) - Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, Davonte Adams, Jared Abbrederis, Ty Montgomery, Trevor Davis
OL(9) - David Bahktiari, Brian Bulaga, Josh Sitton, TJ Lang, Corey Lindsley, JC Tretter
Jason Spriggs, Kyle Murphy, & Lane Taylor (Jacob Flores & Josh Walker on IR)

SPECIAL TEAMS(3)
Kicker(1) - Mason Crosby
Long Snapper(1) - Rick Lovato
Punter (1)- Jacob Schum (this was easy, Tim Masthay was let go!)

DEFENSE(26)
DL(6) - Mike Daniels, Leroy Guion, Kenny Clark, Mike Pennel(is suspended for 4 games), Datone Jones, Dean Lowry, & Chris Ringo (NOT counting Pennel, because suspended)
ILB(4): Sam Barrington, Jake Ryan, Blake Martinez, and Carl Bradford
OLB(6) - Matthews, Peppers, Jones, Perry, Elliot, & Mackrell
Cornerbacks(5) - Sam Shields, Damarious Randall, Quinten Rollins, La Darius Gunter, Demetri Goodson.
Safety(5) - Morgan Burnett, Ha Ha Clinton-Dixx, Micah Hyde, Chris Banjo, & Kentrell Brice

There are my 53.

My biggest issue is WR - will the Pack keep Jeff Janis?  Geronimo Allison had a great summer!  They could keep one less OL, and keep an extra WR.  All depends on who they keep on the practice squad (ten players), when players are cut, other teams may pick them up!  Who am I worried about?  QB - Joe Callahan and WR - Geronimo Allison.

Dates:

• Sept. 3 (Saturday): Roster must be trimmed from 75 players to 53 by 4 p.m. 
• Sept. 4 (Sunday): Practice squad of 10 players can be established.
