I've had two shoulders in my fridge that I picked up at Sam's last Saturday. Plan was to smoke them for home and work tonight but rains coming and I lent my easy up out for the weekend. They are in cryovac and fridge temp is about 35 degrees. Will they be okay for another week or should I freeze them?

Do they have a sell by date on them? Same thing happened to me with a brisket and it was perfectly fine.sigpicComment

If the sell-by date is after the date you're gonna smoke them, what's the difference 35° in your fridge or probably higher than 35° in their show case. It's cryo-packed.
However if the sell-by date is before your smoking date----Freeze it.

I'd say they are fine - I've had cryo-vac'd pork be just fine in the fridge an extra week.
You could freeze, if you want, but there's no need to do so, in my opinion. I would cook em and eat 'em.Fundamentals matter.
