The Green Bay Packers made an interesting decision on Tuesday by finishing their two-day cutting spree with an 84-man roster. The team’s roster only had to be at or under 85 players on Tuesday, marking the first time in 2022 that 90-man rosters were asked to be trimmed down by the NFL. In the end, RB BJ Baylor, TE Dominique Dafney, OL George Moore, OL Cole Schneider, OLB Randy Ramsey, ILB Ellis Brooks and CB Donte Vaughn were let go while TE Nate Becker was signed off waivers.
According to Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated, the reason the Packers needed that extra roster spot was to sign De’Vante Cross, who is one of four defensive backs who worked out for the team on Tuesday, according to Pro Football Network’s Aaron Wilson.
