Green Bay Packers cut Christine Michael after drafting three running backs

The Green Bay Packers loaded up on running backs in the 2017 NFL Draft, taking Jamaal Williams (4th round), Aaron Jones (5th round), and Devante Mays (7th round) on Saturday. That spelled bad news for two RBs who were already on the Packers roster, including ex-Seahawks starter Christine Michael. Green Bay also booted UDFA Don Jackson, who rushed for 32 yards in limited action when the team was severely depleted at RB last year.

Michael had re-signed with Green Bay in March on a one-year, $800,000 contract after the Packers picked him up off of waivers in mid-November.
