Does ?Rock's new deal mean no Nemo?

Would it be fair to say that if Nemo is relegated to the practice squad again this upcoming season, and is unable to jump past Rock that he's another mid round draft pick gone awry?

not really. Green Bay had 6 different starting RBs last year. He's cheap insurance if nothing else and may be able to play FB is sellers gets hurt. that's not an amazing value for a 7th round pick, but it wouldn't be as bad as the guys that don't even make the team.

of course, he could still prove to be good enough to keep around as well. If we don't keep him after this year, i'm sure he'll be able to stay in the league as a #2/#3 for a while.

Nemo is more of a Clydesdale. Portis/Betts are more Thourobreds (sic).

I really expected to see Nemo active more for short yardage situations.

Wasn't he a 7th rounder? White might have been the mid-round waste of a pick.

with lumsford in the mix, I imagine it will have to be worked out in training camp. Rock is a gamer.

white was a 4th rounder (and a decent RB) asked to play h-back. if not for the injury he probably would have been cut. Gibbs seems to stash people on IR every year though. Simon, 2 years ago and white last year among others.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but if Nemo goes to the practice squad, he can be picked up by another team. Guys on the practice squad are not protected. They can be signed and leave.

I believe we have the right to match any outside offers.

Remember Betts is a free agent next year and Rock could be used as insurance if we end up having to let him go.

Yeah, but don't we usually just have 3 active roster spots for RBs? I like Rock, Im glad we resigned him, but my guess is Nemo is gone without ever playing.

Not with Gibbs. He doesn't have fullbacks so you can keep an extra RB on the roster. (especially if they star on teams)

They like Rock because he's apparently a monster in practice. Gibbs says that he (Cartwright) often admonishes his teammates to work harder during drills, etc. Thrash is in the same category. I would be surprised if Thrash were cut, as some here have suggested.

thrash is just expensive for his production, but wynn is too, and there's no way gibbs is ditching him.
