GREEN BAY, Wis. – Aaron Rodgers looked at the Green Bay Packers’ initial roster and thought there were some better players on the practice squad than on the 53.
Not that he was upset with general manager Brian Gutekunst for releasing Juwann Winfree and keeping Samori Toure. This was not Jake Kumerow 2.0.
“We know that, at times, it’s not a meritocracy,” Rodgers said after Wednesday’s practice. “There’s extra opportunity for drafted players; that’s the way we’ve done it in Green Bay for a long time, and I’m not knocking it because I wasn’t very good my first year, either.
