--GB's potent receiving duo of Randall Cobb and Jordy Nelson: uninjured and having fun.

WEEK 6 GAME PREVIEW

Two moves:
1. RE-SIGNED LG Mackenzy Bernadeau for 5 years, $25.6 mil
2. SIGNED CB Morris Claiborne, RELEASED CB Brice McCain
***I have made this transaction for three reasons. One is because I am trying to make this team a better Man-to-man cover team. Second, McCain lost his starting job to Sanders Commings. And lastly, with Claiborne being only a 3rd year player, we get someone who can be a reclamation project, and he is a former Cowboy that fits in my scheme.
