On Monday, the Pack released: punter Ryan Flinn, kicker Rhys Lloyd, wide receiver Willie Quinnie and linebacker Robert Thomas. The Packers also announced the official signing of CB Charles Woodson to a multi-year contract, as reported earlier.
The undrafted free agent signings the Packers have completed so far include:
Chris Francies, WR, Texas-El Paso
Arliss Beach, RB, Kentucky
Tra Boger, S, Tulane
Josh Bourke, T, Grand Valley State
Shermar Bracey, RB, Arkansas State
A.J. Cooper, TE, North Dakota State
Tim Goodwell, LB, Memphis
Montez Murphy, DE, Baylor

Why take note of these undrafted players? Because approximately 20 percent of the NFL is made up of non-drafted players. Initial take -- looking at them on paper only -- would seem to be that those with the best chances (special teams, practice squad, etc.) are: Francies, Bourke and Goodwell...but it really is a crap shoot, isn't it? And not a big bet on the Packers part...so the roll of the dice here is definitely worth the possible upside on any of these players panning out.
