For the first time I can remember recently the team is sitting on 5 wide outs. This was about the biggest surprise for me. I really expected to keep 6. With also keeping 3 FB and 4 TE, What does this mean for the offense. Less 5 Wide to start.

For beginners, I think Finley will be lined split wide more than anticipated. I remember Lee being split wide a lot on 07 and can really see this happening with Finley. That could pull S or LB wider making letting the running game going and also allow Finley some different blocking angles

Jermichael Finley, Donald Lee, Spencer Havner (Who will play both ways) and I think that we still have Evan Moore on the roster, as well. Although he's on IR.

We've only kept Donald Lee, Jermichael Finlay and Spencer Havner at Tight End, but I think I know where the confusion has arisen. The Packers depth chart  has yet to remove the players who have been placed on injured reserve (so Evan Moore is still listed as the fourth TE.)

I'll tell you this much: IMO, Ruvell Martin being cut has at least as much to do with Finley's versatility as it does with Swain's potential.

One thing Martin unequivocally brought to the table was great run blocking. As a TE, Finley should probably bring more to the table as a blocker (which he has evidently improved since last season). Finley also creates better matchups in the passing game. Hence, Martin was expendable. Kind of a bummer, though -- I always liked Ruvell.
William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

Moore will not see the field this year though so his inclusion wont affect plays we call this season, such as the 5 wide.

Obviously, but I asume that he's the 4th TE that PFWT was referring to.

And I agree with pretty much everything that's being said here. Finley made him expendable. He'll be enough of a receiver to take that 5th slot. Next to that, we now have a 5th receiver who can really make some progression. One that has a lot of upside. Ruvell was a great guy, but he was 27 years old as well and had hit his ceiling. Swain has a lot of upside. Something I like to see in a 5th WR/3rd stringer.

Yeah its good to get younger at #5 WR. Swain showed flashes during TC and could well take over as slot receiver once Driver finally starts to decline.

If we get Heckendorf on the PS we'll be set.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."
beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less
beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.
Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.
Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”
Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.
dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that
dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)
Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage
beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position
dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.
dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.
Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl
Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left
dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!
packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold
Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
