Notes:
The initial roster consists of 25 offensive players, 25 defensive players, and three specialists.
The Packers kept five running backs total, including one fullback, as all three draft picks at the position made it.
The 10 offensive linemen are the most the Packers have kept at that position since 2010, when they also kept 10.
The Packers kept only two quarterbacks for the first time since 2013.
Two undrafted rookies, CB Lenzy Pipkins and P Justin Vogel , made the roster. At least one undrafted rookie has made the roster every year of the Ted Thompson era, dating back to 2005.
Starting the season on PUP, LB Vince Biegel and CB Demetri Goodson will not be eligible to practice for at least six weeks. After six weeks, a three-week window begins during which they can begin practicing and be placed on the active roster at any time. Once a player practices for the first time, another three-week window opens during which he must be placed on the active roster or be lost for the season.
WR Geronimo Allison is suspended for Week 1. He is eligible to return to the active roster after the first game, but a corresponding roster move would be required if the Packers are at the 53-player limit.
This roster isn't necessarily final. Waiver claims could lead to changes. Teams can begin signing players to their practice squads on Sunday afternoon after the waiver period expires.

Stupid to keep 4 RB's when you have Rip who essentially can be used as a RB.
Could have kept another WR.

 

[Dubz41]

7 CBS and 5 Safties? Wow. Would've went with 6 CBS and kept Gilbert.

 

[Terranimal]

Cutting McCaffrey was a surprise to me. Should have been kept imo.

 

[Defensewins]

I think this current version of the 53 is incredibly fluid, I wouldn't be surprised to see 4 or more guys moved off this roster.
Pipkins, McCray, Patrick to name a few. Pipkins in particular has me really surprised.

 

[eyecatcher]

What happened with Ahmad Brooks?

 

[Mark87]

What happened with Ahmad Brooks?

not signed yet... the theory is that once Sunday rolls around they can put Adams on IR with return then sign Brooks.

 

[TW]

I think that's where it's going. Adams to IR on Sunday, then add Allison to the 53 man roster. I wish they would have gone with McCaffery on the 53 man roster because I think someone is going to sign him. There's so much there to offer.

 

[57packer]

Yup, Adams to IR when Brooks signs certainly seems like the consensus opinion by the news outlets as well. Makes a bunch of sense.

What doesn't make sense:
- 10 OL. McCray and Patrick are both not worthy. Keep one or the other but not both. The other would have cleared waivers.
- 7 CB. Again, why? Pipkins was going to clear waivers. You aren't going to have more than 5 active on game day. If you needed depth, put Pipkins on the PS.
- 4 RB. I kinda get this one but I really think Mays would have cleared waivers. Lots of teams have good young RBs. Mays was not that special. I'd say they were kept because they were draft choices, but that doesn't hold true this year with TT cutting both Yancey and Dupre.

If you go one guy lighter at each of those spots, you could have kept Hill, Price and one of the WRs. Long-term, I think those 3 would give you more bang for the buck than McCray/Patrick, Pipkins and Mays.

 

[Cheesedog]

This is the roster of a team who knoes they have screwed up the OL and DL. Rb and te for blocking.. heavy on the secondary because of lack of ability up front.
