An FYI on Gibson and Seisay...................

According to Rob Beischel and Bob McGinn:

Gibson (6-3 ½, 245) underwent arthroscopic surgery on his shoulder in November. He said the Packers think major surgery might be required.

Seisay (6-1, 200) indicated he was red-flagged because of a knee injury that bothered him last season.

“It’s not over with the Packers yet,” Seisay said. “Lot of things going on. I just need a little bit of time.”

The Packers had two open spots for the 90 man roster with the release of Vogel and those that failed their physicals.

This is a good piece for anyone who likes to deep dive into the lesser known rookies (UDFA's) on this years roster. Andrew Herman did a nice job here:

Ya!

Read that yesterday as well.

Interesting that Conor Sheehy got one of the top signing bonuses. Makes you wonder if the Packers have higher expectations than folks here have intimated.

Many folks have thought that Lancaster has a chance to make the 53. I have also thought that Austin Davis has a real chance as well.

With the drafting of Cole Madison, and giving Jacob Alsadek one of the top udfa signing bonuses, you wonder if Spriggs job is on the line?

RT, you made the call on Boyle when I thought that Hundley wouldn't get his contract renewed and you light heartedly joked about him not making the team.

Agree, he was a complete afterthought for me. Could he be as good as Lowry? I see a similar player in Sheehy, not as athletic, but not a slug either. 7.31/ 3-cone is pretty good movement for a 290+ pounder.

Lowry has proven himself a valuable contributor to the DL. In my mind Montravious Adams has to show a lot this year (he's a Ted pick, not a Gute pick), OR........Pettine has something sneaky up his sleeve when it comes to DL.

More indications that they could keep Boyle over Hundley.

Agree, was not attempting to suggest that Lowry was in danger of losing out to anyone. He is a solid, high effort guy who continues to get better. History tells us that Pettine likes to play with a few more big men than Capers would employee. Their are few givens right now, but for me it is a given that they keep 6 DLinemen this year on the 53.

I like Jacob Alsadek and Austin Davis also, both have a chance of filling out the backend of the OL depth chart. IMO
