The 4 big surprises the Packers made at roster cutdowns

The Green Bay Packers (-1.5)

made several odd moves on Tuesday that signaled that the team is still looking to build long-term instead of short-term, no matter how many people in Packerland are clamoring for another Lombardi Trophy. We’re not talking about moves like releasing both cornerback Rico Gafford and Kiondre Thomas to only keep five at the position or moving on from arguably their best backup pass-rushers in La’Darius Hamilton and Kobe Jobes, but situations where general manager Brian Gutekunst and company elected to keep young draft picks on the roster over players who were playing significant ball, and well, in the preseason.
