3 Packers who won’t be on the roster at the end of training camp

Packers cut candidate No. 2: Shemar Jean-Charles, CB

There are precisely no questions about how the starters at cornerback are going to shake out for the 2023 season in Green Bay. Jaire Alexander is one of the NFL’s best at the position, and he’ll be joined by Rasul Douglas, who has been a revelation for the Pack since joining the club, and Keisean Nixon as the three-man group in most defensive sets for this team.

The depth is where there are a few more questions with the position group, however. Assuming he can get healthy and come off of the PUP list, former first-round pick Eric Stokes will be the first reserve at cornerback.

But that then leaves the club with a deep and largely interchangeable group that includes 2021 fifth-rounder Shemar Jean-Charles, 2023 seventh-rounder Carrington Valentine, veteran Corey Ballentine, and several others.

Valentine, the late-round pick out of Kentucky, was a somewhat surprising fall in the draft to the seventh round. He has legitimate upside at the NFL level and, once in Packers training camp, I expect him to solidify a spot on the 53-man roster. That likely leaves a battle between Jean-Charles and Ballentine.

Really, you could say that either player could end up being cut by the end of training camp with the way things are currently shaping up, especially given that the cap savings ($940,000) are identical for both players.

Were going with Jean-Charles, though, simply because of the lack of experience. Though Ballentine has struggled as of late, the Packers have had a difficult time finding the right niche for Jean-Charles since drafting him, which could leave him as a positionless man looking for a new team when camp subsides.
