Last Week Before Roster Cuts, Packers Need To Build A Winner!

 Just like all of 2020, the NFL season and roster building is different.  So, instead of crying & whining, let's deal with it!  And, what are the new rules in place???


1 - 53 man roster, same as other years.

2 - Practice Squad for this season with go from 10 to 16 players.

Due date:

Roster -  53 by Saturday, September 5 at 4pm

Practice Squad - by September 6, 1 pm, start building 16 man practice squad

Packers first game , Sunday, September 13th!


As of now, Packers and other NFL teams have 80 men on the roster, therefore, 69 of the 80 could be back on the roster.  But, when players are cut, other teams may jump on the cuts, just like the Packers may do, so, here is my best bet on the 53 man roster:

Special Teams (3) - Kicker - Mason Crosby, Punter - JK Scott, & Long Snapper- Hunter Bradley

That was easy, now:

Offense (27)

Quarterbacks(3) - Aaron Rodgers, Tim Boyle & Jordan Love

Running Backs(4) - AJ Dillon, Tyler Ervin, Aaron Jones, & Jamaal Williams

Tight Ends(4) - Josiah DeGuara, Mercedes Lewis, Jace Sternberger, Robert Tonyan

Wide Receivers(5) - Davante Adams, Jake Kumerow, Allan Lazard, E. St. Brown, M. Valdes-Scantling

Tackles(2) - David Bakhtiari, Rick Wagner

Guards(4) - Elgton Jenkins, Lucas Patrick, Jon Runyan, Lane Taylor

Center(2) - Jake Hanson, Corey Linsley

Guard/Tackle(2) - Alex Light, Billy Turner

Defense(23)

Defensive Line(5) - Martravious Adams, Kenny Clark, Keke Kingsley, Tyler Lancaster, Dean Lowry

Inside Linebacker(4) - Oren Burks, Christian Kirksley, Kamaal Martin, Tyler Summers

Outside Linebacker(4) - Jonathan Garvin, Rashon Gary, Preston Smith, Za'Darius Smith

Cornerback(5) - Jaire Alexander, Ka'Dar Hollman, Josh Jackson, Kevin King, Chandon Sullivan

Safety(5) - Adrain Amos, Raven Greene, Will Redmund, Darnell Savage, Vernon Scott

That is 53 names, about 5-7 were difficult, they are highlighted by yellow.
