Building a 53-man roster isn't easy. Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst had to make tough decisions, including moving on from multiple draft picks. He cut kicker Anders Carlson, a sixth-rounder only a year ago, in favor of free-agent addition Greg Joseph. Gutekunst gave up on two quarterbacks he drafted for Malik Willis, who the Packers traded for this week. It's impossible to keep everyone.
