Packers waived RB Angelo Pease, WR Alex Gillett, WR Omarius Hines, DT Gilbert Pena, and WR Justin Wilson. James Starks and Alex Green are still hanging on -- for now. Pease turned some heads at rookie camp and OTAs, but he was a non-factor in Green Bay's backfield once the pads went on. Perhaps he'll resurface on a practice squad.

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel says it "wouldn't be a surprise" if undrafted RB Angelo Pease "hangs around" either on the 53-man roster or practice squad. Pease, a former quarterback and backup college running back at Kansas State, carried the ball just 95 times for 480 yards in his NCAA career, but his college coaches say he's just now starting to "grasp" the running back position. Pease faces an uphill battle for an active roster spot, but beat writer Tyler Dunne thinks it's conceivable he could stick on the practice squad.
