R T Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 2 hours ago, craig said: The other two on the roster are Previlon and Jack Heflin. Previlon stayed on the 65-man roster and was added to the regular roster for several games. Previlon got some favorable camp comments last summer, said to be pretty quick, good feet, and to have good flexibility and bend. What the real guy is now I don't know, but he lists at 6'5" but only 287. (Roster lists Keke at 288, for comparison sake.). I get the sense that Previlon might be a good movement/agility guy, with some athleticism. Probably not going to be a massive run-plug heavyweight like Slaton or Snacks or Pickett or Jolly. But I'd assume he's the next man up, and will be competing with Slaten, Lancaster, and Lowry for a spot. It's not impossible that Previlon would win a 53-spot and that Slaten would get placed on the 65-man roster via PS. Heflin profiles as a strong, run-defense-oriented guy, too. Not sure how he'll do in pros, but he played a lot of run-defense in college, and the scouting reports describe him as strong. Not a long guy who's going to be knocking down passes, but some of the shorter-stockier guys do well with pad-level and function well. He's got a chance to surprise. Presumably he's targeted for PS, but surprises happen. Last year, the Packers averaged ~2.1 DL-per-snap. again, not sure how Barry might shift that, maybe it will increase a little, maybe not. But I'd guess that with on average ~2 DL/snap, that 5 DL on the 53 with 1-2 more on the PS seems likely. Agree with you craig that Previlon is a sleeper to make the 53, him being 290ish doesn't concern me at all. Heflin seems like Lancaster 2.0. Disagree about Slaten to the PS. There is just a shortage of large athletic DL in the world and he would never make it through waivers, somebody would gladly redshirt him on the back of their roster for a season. We need to look no further then the example of Anthony Rush last season, a large man who had proven that he couldn't play, yet was claim 3 times last season because teams just needed bodies. Slaten would need to really stink it up to not make the 53. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Lancaster or Previlon would be in any danger of getting poached on the PS. I hope that room is strong enough to place one of them there.

Numbers being thrown around are $28-$30m per season. He is on a $16m now for this year, I'm guess it will be a three year extension for $84m, which makes it a four year deal averaging $25m per season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen any numbers....but know one thing, I wouldnt want to be Russ Ball! I cant wait till the cap gets back to its normal annual increases. These contracts are like fitting a jigsaw puzzle 2-3 years out. The bottom falling out on the cap....has everything screwed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it all depends on the guaranteed money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed please GB don't set the bar like that. Adams is good but 28 M per year good is a terrible deal. What will we have to pay Alexander $50 a year. Let him walk get a 3rd rounder and start over at the WR with 2 more rooks next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are saying 84m for three years, the 2022 cap hit would have to be very low as we currently heavily in the red. So you would be looking at 35m a year for the following years. Just don't think its worth it. Maybe if Rodgers was QB but if its Love just get him his own guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
