In another month or so the Green Bay Packers will be cutting players. Most of those players will be youngsters who just weren’t quite good enough to make the final roster.
When it comes to veterans, the Packers typically make a decision on those players during the offseason. Either they release them or choose not to re-sign them. Going back to 2013, here is a look at how a great number of the players the Packers decided to move on from have fared.
Note that they are almost entirely defensive players.
Those who have had a measure of production:
- Charles Woodson (DB) – 283 tackles, 3 sacks and 10 interceptions in three years with Raiders, now retired
- Erik Walden (LB) – 124 tackles and 12 sacks in three years with the Colts
- Ryan Pickett (DT) – 13 starts, 20 tackles with the Texans in 2014
- Greg Jennings (WR) – total of 1,754 yards and 11 TDs in three seasons (two with Vikings, one with Miami), released twice
- Tramon Williams (DB) – 69 tackles, 1 interception for Browns in 2015 after signing a three-year, $21 million deal
- Davon House (DB) – 60 tackles, 4 interceptions with Jaguars in 2015 after signing a four-year, $24.
