Finley, Quarless, Crabtree, Williams. Stash Taylor on PS.

I really don't see keeping Havnor over Quarless and Crabtree is blocking machine so he needs to be retained. Question is does Finley resign with us?

What is Finley going to demand and can we retain him? Not to mention can he stay on the field.

Until that is answered, I don't see the Packers carrying less that 4 on the roster..

But again.. another premature debate until we see how Williams and Taylor play in the preseason.

One thing.. if Havner doesn't shine on Special teams or show that he can play Backer effectively to increase his value.. I don't know how he sticks.

I read a few places that Spencer Havner may get flipped back to linebacker. Sticky.

He gets cut for the final time this year.

Ted Thompson traded down to stock up on 6/7th round picks to use on guys he was worried he woundn't get a shot as as an UDFA, because of the labor uncertainties.

I've read some predicting that we'll keep 3RB, 2FB and 4TE's. Which seems reasonable, considering we went into last season with 3RB, 3FB and 4TE's. One of the biggest question marks is what position gets dropped a player to keep Harrell on the active roster, as it look he might be the next backup QB.

Which is basically the last as last year other than one more RB, one less FB and OL. (the OL spot was taken from defense... they started with 26 O and 24 D). I'm thinking Harrell doesn't make the cut...

As far as the Finley question, I think it's a very good one. But if the Packers had the other four I think they would still be in pretty good shape.

I'm surprised they haven't given Francois more guys to battle at ILB for 2nd team ILB. I thought Havner or Jones or some new FA would be battling it out there with Francois. They did pick up Asiodu as a FA but he's listed last on the depth chart.

Packers will probably keep 4 TEs again. Graham Harrell is hardly a lock for the 53-man roster unless he shows vast improvement in the preseason where the team feels they have to protect him on the 53-man roster. Probably will just carry 2 QBs like last year and put Graham back on the PS again.

I COULD see a scenario of 5 TEs if they only opt to keep Kuhn at FB and let both Johnson and the rookie go if they feel one of the TEs could be an effective blocker out of the backfield.

For me though, I agree they'll probably keep 3 RBs, 2 FBs, and 4 TEs again.

Grant, Starks, & Green. Kuhn and Johnson at FB. And then Finley, Crabtree, Quarless, and Williams with Clark getting added to the PS and Havner ultimately being cut again as mentioned before.
