The Green Bay Packers have made their trade for offensive lineman Darian Kinnard official, leading to their first roster cut on the eve of deadline day.
To make room on the soon-to-be 53-man roster for Kinnard, the Packers have released wide receiver Kawaan Baker.
It's not only the first roster cut domino to fall, but also the team's first decision at wide receiver. The Packers had 13 players at the position, a number they will likely reduce to five or six over the next 24 hours. Baker's exit is unsurprising.

Green Bay claimed Baker on waivers earlier this month, but he always had a mountain to climb to make the 53-man roster.
