![]() ![]() before rejoining the team as a non-activated reserve) How acquired: fourth-round pick, 2013 2014 Contract Terms (signed through 2016) While the Packers hope he's only needed at guard, Lang is capable of playing all five positions along the line in a pinch. Overall, he provides ample push in the ground game while also anchoring well in pass protection. Lang is a quality lineman in his own right. While not the caliber of blocker of his teammate and best friend Josh Sitton, T.J. How acquired: fourth-round pick, 2009 2014 Contract Terms (signed through 2016)īlocking (PFF): 3 sacks allowed, 5 QB hits allowed, 18 hurries allowed, 5 penalties Appropriately, he was named to the second-team All-Pro list. In every other game, Sitton's performance was beyond reproach. His only hiccup was a mysteriously poor showing in San Francisco that accounted for half of all his penalties and over a third of his hurries allowed for the entire year. How acquired: fourth-round pick, 2008 2014 Contract Terms (signed through 2016)īlocking (PFF): 1 sack allowed, 0 QB hits allowed, 8 hurries allowed, 6 penaltiesįrom Week 2 on, Josh Sitton played as well or better than every other offensive lineman in the NFL last season. We continue our roster breakdown with a look at the Packer's returning guards and centers. Is there going to be a long snapper available who is better than Coco, who had a strong preseason? His snapping has been solid, but he did overrun a few tackle attempts in the finale.To prepare for training camp, we will be breaking down every player on the Green Bay Packers' 90-man roster in more detail, looking at contract terms and 2013 statistics, before we make our prediction for which players will make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. SPECIAL TEAMS (3)Ĭrosby’s status lingers over this whole thing, but the Packers continue to sound hopeful that he’ll be ready for Week 1. Galeai, Thomas and Leavitt make the roster because of their advantages over counterparts on special teams. Once again, Heflin made disruptive plays this preseason, but can the Packers afford to keep six defensive linemen? Maybe he sticks if the Packers only have two running backs on the first 53. Around 19-20 of these spots are already locked in. S (4): Adrian Amos, Darnell Savage, Shawn Davis, Dallin Leavitt ILB (4): De’Vondre Campbell, Quay Walker, Isaiah McDuffie, Krys BarnesĬB (6): Jaire Alexander, Rasul Douglas, Eric Stokes, Keisean Nixon, Shemar Jean-Charles, Kiondre Thomas OLB (5): Rashan Gary, Preston Smith, Jonathan Garvin, Kingsley Enagbare, Tipa Galeai DEFENSE (24)ĭL (5): Kenny Clark, Jarran Reed, Dean Lowry, TJ Slaton, Devonte Wyatt Walker, a draft pick who played well in the season finale, gets the nod over Caleb Jones, who could probably use a year on the practice squad. Keeping 10 offensive linemen is probably necessary because Bakhtiari and Jenkins are both question marks to start the season. Again, the hope would be to return Toure on the practice squad. I’d take Samori Toure over Winfree, but Winfree does more on special teams and the quarterback trusts him. In what’s soon to be a saturated market at running back, neither Taylor nor Goodson is likely to get claimed, making the idea of just two running backs all the more appealing. Thoughts: Taylor wins out at running back based on special teams and pass pro, while Tyler Goodson eventually returns on the practice squad. OL (10): Elgton Jenkins, David Bakhtiari, Josh Myers, Jon Runyan Jr., Royce Newman, Yosh Nijman, Zach Tom, Sean Rhyan, Jake Hanson, Rasheed Walker TE (4): Robert Tonyan, Marcedes Lewis, Josiah Deguara, Tyler Davis WR (7): Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb, Sammy Watkins, Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, Amari Rodgers, Juwann Winfree RB (3): Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon, Patrick Taylor Here’s one final attempt at predicting the roster: OFFENSE (26) That leaves 26 more decisions to make between now and Tuesday’s deadline. The work got started on Sunday when the team released linebacker Ty Summers. By Tuesday afternoon, the Green Bay Packers must have their roster trimmed down from 80 to 53 players. ![]()
