Green Bay Packers are a young team, and since Ted Thompson took over as GM for the team more than 12 years ago, that trend has been continuous. Don't expect any changes as the Packers' roster develops into this summer and the 53-man roster takes shape at the end of August. With a draft and

Janis flashes potential but falls short.

Time to move on from Richard Rodgers?
Can't see the Packers keeping 3 TE's?

I'm not going to bust my brain trying to figure out the final "63" this year, but I will definately say that The Packers are not ready to move on from Richard Rodgers.

We learned last year 2 really good TE's was better than 1.

Only goes to say that 1 Great TE and 2 really good TE's is better than 2 really good TE's.

The only way Guion stays is if there are multiple injuries at the position in TC through week 5.
Ted re-structured his contract so they can keep him on through the first 4 weeks without hurting the Salary cap.

I guess with Janis it comes down to is the last WR spot available(6th or 7th), more important than Jeff Janis being one of the best Gunners in the league.

When games start to count, it's going to be Jordy, Randall and Davante on the field, the rest will be playing mostly Special teams.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

The aggressive signing of two FA TEs tells me that they want to run more 2 TE sets, and combined with a RB who is also a WR, that gives you a huge amount of run/pass variability without substitutions. Hard to match up against or predict.

Anyway, saying that, I think they keep Rodgers as insurance.

Btw, I don't think Jordy's a lock to make this team.

The 2 TEs we signed makes it much less likely than in prior years that we keep 6-7 wrs. Imo

Jordy not making the team???
I would be SHOCKED if he didn't. He showed he still had "it" last year, and Aaron Rodgers still trusts him. I'd expect even more out of Nelson this season, as he's one more year removed from that awful injury, and should be more self assured of it not causing any problems for him.
Just my humble opinion of course!

If, as I suspect, the Packers do install more 2 TE plays, it could become an important part of GB's 2017 Offensive Strategy . Keeping just 2 TE's with the possibly of loosing one to injury could adversely impact that strategy.

Keeping 3 TE's and rotating them all in and out of games would ensure that if one suffers an injury, that GB will not suffer loosing that portion of the playbook. The train could keep plowing forward.

Janis and Guion will need to win a spot on GB's roster . I'm not sure that they will succeed .

Janis sucks fuck that guy. You all called for Bush's head for years and he was 10x the gunner Janis is. I don't understand the fascination you all have with our 6 and 7th receivers year after year
