Nick Barnett - Can he make the team? I think he is too small for the 3-4. 2 seasons left on his contract. At over 4 million a season he may be cut. He could be a great fit for the Lions.

Morgan Burnett - This promising young player could be a starter with the Packers for years. With a shortened off season will he be able to start at the beginning of the season? Charlie Peprah won't make it easy.

Brandon Chiller - 3 years remain on his contract at about 3.5 million a year. He was considered the best Packers linebacker in pass coverage. With all the Packers talent he may be a passing situation specialist only. He has to prove himself to remain a Packer.

Jermichael Finley - At $555K one of the best bargains in the NFL. He is arguably the best pass catching TE he was having an outstanding season until his injury after 4 games. He is playing for a future contract so he should be motivated to exceed his 60 yards a game average since he took over as a starter.

Ryan Grant - The Packers won a Super Bowl without Ryan Grant. How much better will they be as a team with him? He also is in the final year of his contract and will have to prove to Ted Thompson he is worth keeping in the future. If it is his last season in Green Bay he is auditioning for a free agent contract.

Brad Jones - Poor Brad Jones. He is competing for the most competitive roster spot on the World Champion Green Bay Packers. Zombo, Rookie Ricky, Poppinga and others all want that job. Some performed very well. Brad Jones can't relax for a second. In this situation the strong get stronger and the weak are cut quickly.

Mike Neal - A very strong player he will have an impact. The more training time he has to work on his technique the more impact he will have. He is the reason Cullen Jenkins has not been extended. He is going to surprise many people.

I went with Morgan Burnett, even though the obvious answer is Finley. Let's see if Finley can stay healthy for an entire year. Then he can work on making the pro bowl.
Burnett's gonna be another Nick Collins back there.

I voted Finley but it scares me because I don't the ball forced to him again like last season. I hope Grant comes in and surprises all the haters. The guy is underrated.

Finley, he could come back and be the second best offensive player on the team.

I would love if the answer were Mike Neal. I have no doubt that Finley will make a huge contribution, but from all the hype its as if Neal might even show him up. The only thing is that it is hard to "make an impact" that is more noticeable than TD's and eye-popping catches that Finley promises to make. It would be a great problem to have if Neal made a bigger impact than JFin.

It always cracks me up when people say Barnett is too small for 3-4. Bishop is the exact same size. Is he too small?

Chillar is coming off a 3rd surgery on the same shoulder. His return could be more questionable than Barnett's.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

Barnett is six two and two thirty six.
Bishop is six two and two thirty eight.

Two pounds is a HUGE difference!! (remember the one inch debate over a OL arms? lol)
