Mike and Ted have a mancrush on QB1 and Kuhn keeps QB1 on his feet.

Protecting the QB is always a top priority. Plus, he offers something in a few other areas, so his position is justified.

I agree that Boykin most likely will make the team. But then if they fall in love with Janis and only want 5 WR do they release Abbrederis? Most likely they wold keep 6. They have done it in the past. So that shakes someone from another position.

Doddpower, Kuhn is super interesting in all of this. Good STs player in spite of his boneheaded move last season... not particularly the greatest lead blocker, but, man, can that guy pass protect. Plus, he and Rodgers are good friends. He seems to have a free pass. But, what if this Colt kid can be the FB? I still cannot see them parting with John Kuhn!

steveishere & wpr, I cannot see them letting Boykin go either, unless they trade him. I agree they will massage the roster to keep 6 WRs this year. Nelson, Cobb, Boykin, Adams, Abbrederis, and Janis.

This is telling too, in that we are probably going to lose some valuable young talent off of our PS this year. Ted has got some very tough decisions in front of him, but he has time.

Tramon Williams, Jarrett Bush, Brad Jones could all go for salary reasons alone.

Bostick, Banjo, Ryan Taylor, Barrington, Jamari Lattimore, Mulumba, Palmer, Sherrod, Lane Taylor

I see the most change at LB (OLB and ILB). Should be one heckuva competition in TC.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Letroy Guion. He was only signed to a one year deal that couldn't have been terribly expensive. I doubt it would happen but then again Ted did sign guys like him in the 2012 offseason only to give them all the ax.

There are a lot of guys who could go.

My particular favorites to go would be Brad Jones, Sean Richardson, Guion, Palmer, Banjo, White.

Endangered players I would regret seeing go: Stoneburner, Bush.

True bubble cases - their fate depending mainly on how other players do:

Goode, Bostick, Mulumba, Lattimore, Harris, Lane Taylor, Barclay.

Undoubtedly either Flynn or Tolzien will go. I wish it would be Flynn, but Tolzien is more likely.

Just realized we now have two players with a lot of FB experience who primarily play other positions, Colt Lyerla and Carl Bradford. Will this spell the end of John Kuhn at FB in GB? That is one extremely valuable roster spot he is taking up... Not that I don't appreciate what he brings in STs and in pass protection. Kuhn is a super popular player. But, IMO, he is not a very effective lead blocker anymore in the run game. That seemed to go away a couple of seasons ago.

Could Ted actually move on from him this year? He has the two-way talent to take up some of that slack.

I wouldn't call him a lock but I think he's easily worth what we are paying him and I think it would be a mistake to cut him until someone else on the roster actually proves they can do what he does.
