The Green Bay Packers and 31 other teams will reduce their rosters to 53 players by Tuesday afternoon’s deadline.
Here are a few things to chew on as the Packers prepare to make final cuts:
– Remember, most players cut on Tuesday won’t get claimed. Only 27 total players were claimed after cuts last year, so there’s a good chance all those fringe roster players you don’t want the Packers to cut will eventually be back on the practice squad. The sting of losing a unique player like Taysom Hill at cutdowns way back when may still sting, but it’s an exceedingly rare situation.
