GREEN BAY — It has been 218 days since general manager Brian Gutekunst publicly challenged his Green Bay Packers players to “ramp up our sense of urgency” and proclaimed that it was “time we started competing for championships.”
When the final whistle blows at the end of the team’s last preseason game Saturday afternoon against the Seattle Seahawks at Lambeau Field, Gutekunst and his personnel staff will set about assembling the 53-man roster and 16-man practice squad that they believe will be capable of winning the Super Bowl LX title.
They will evaluate everything they saw throughout the offseason, in the team’s three preseason games, in 18 practices (including two joint sessions with he Seahawks and the Indianapolis Colts) and anything and everything else that caught their attention.
