The hardest part of projecting a 53-man roster for the Green Bay Packers is making the difficult cuts from around 65 players down to 53. It’s the same job general manager Brian Gutekunst will have to do late in August. And it’s not fun. Good players get sent packing every summer.
Packers Wire’s attempt at predicting a 53-man roster to start the 2021 season (see below) helped reveal which players could be the hardest to cut next month. Sometimes, finding the best-fitting 53 players is more important than picking the best 53 players overall. Tough decisions will need to be made to accomplish this goal.
