Packers take advantage of 49ers' surprise cut to add rookie with something to prove

The Green Bay Packers have decided that their crowded wide receiver room isn't competitive enough, picking up wide receiver Isaiah Neyor, whom the San Francisco 49ers surprisingly released. He becomes the 12th wide receiver on the depth chart.

Neyor will compete with receivers like Cornelius Johnson, Julian Hicks, and Malik Heath for a potentially final spot on the starting roster.

For the last two seasons, the Packers haven't placed more than six receivers on the roster, lighting a fire under any players who feel like they're in the bottom half of the position group.
