Quick thoughts as Packers prepare to make cuts down to 53 players

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.
