The Green Bay Packers opened up their rookie minicamp on Friday, which means that the team’s undrafted rookie signings and tryout players have officially been announced. Based on the roster that ESPN’s Rob Demovsky tweeted out, former USFL MVP quarterback Alex McGough has made the move to receiver, too. Packers UDFA signings RB Jarveon Howard, Alcorn State TE Messiah Swinson, Arizona State OL Donovan Jennings, South Florida OL Trente Jones, Michigan DL Rodney ..read more

Photo by Larry Radloff/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The first on-field work of the 2024 season begins today with rookies in attendance. Thursday was a big one for the Green Bay Packers, and particularly for their incoming rookie class. It was the day that they were all scheduled to arrive in Green Bay, as the team holds its rookie minicamp on Friday and Saturday of this week. The two-day minicamp is the first chance for the Packers’ coaches to get to know their new players following the draft — certainly some of them may have met with these players at the Combine or All-Star games, but the ..read more

Photo by Scott Taetsch/Getty Images Stokes will be in a contract season in Green Bay this year, as the team turned down the corner’s 2025 option. Despite cornerback Eric Stokes being a “full go” in organized team activities, per head Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur, the former first-round pick did not have his fifth-year option picked up by Wednesday’s deadline. This shouldn’t be much of a surprise, as Stokes has only been able to play in 12 games over the last two seasons following his breakout rookie season of 2021. According to Pro Football Focus, Stokes had a 65.5 grade in 2021, but w ..read more

Photo by Chris Coduto/Getty Images Today’s film room looks in-depth at first-round pick Jordan Morgan. The Green Bay Packers’ first pick in the draft addressed a need with one of the best players available at the offensive tackle position. They selected Jordan Morgan, a left tackle out of the University of Arizona with the 25th overall pick in the first round, adding a solid addition to an already strong offensive line. He was a two-year starter at Arizona during his junior and senior years in a similar offensive scheme to the Packers. Morgan is slated to play left tackle according to head coa ..read more

Photo by Patrick McDermott/Getty Images Today marks the deadline for 5th-year option decisions. With the 2024 NFL Draft squarely in the rear-view mirror, Thursday brings a reason to look back more closely at the 2021 NFL Draft instead. Today, the teams that made first-round picks in 2021 have a deadline to decide whether to extend fifth-year options to those players. For the Green Bay Packers, that means that they have a call to make on cornerback Eric Stokes, their selection with the 29th pick in that year’s draft. Ultimately, this is probably a straightforward decision. Stokes has dealt with ..read more

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby hosts a podcast called The Rush, which featured a notable guest this week for Green Bay Packers fans in receiver Davante Adams. Just a few years ago, Adams and the Packers were both clearly frustrated over contract talks, eventually leading to Adams being hit with the franchise tag and later being traded to the Raiders for the draft picks that eventually landed linebacker Quay Walker and receiver Christian Watson in ..read more

Photo by Patrick McDermott/Getty Images McGough was signed to Green Bay practice squad last season after joining the team in July. The Green Bay Packers appear to be clearing the road for 2023 fifth-round pick Sean Clifford and 2024 seventh-round pick Michael Pratt to have a legitimate quarterback battle this preseason as Jordan Love’s backup. In the team’s most recent roster update, the Packers have listed former third-string quarterback Alex McGough as a receiver — which leaves the team with just three quarterbacks on their 90-man roster. McGough, a 2018 draft choice by the Seattle Seahawks ..read more

Photo by Tom Hauck/Getty Images It didn’t take long for Aaron Jones’ #33 to find a new owner. The Green Bay Packers’ official roster has already been updated with the new uniform numbers that the Day 1 and Day 2 selections from their 2024 class will wear. First-round pick tackle Jordan Morgan will don #77, a number previously worn by practice squad tackle Kadeem Telfort — who will now wear #76. #77 was the number that Morgan wore during his college career with the Arizona Wildcats. Unlike Morgan, though, the Day 2 selections for the Packers are changing numbers from their college days. Linebac ..read more

Tork Mason-USA TODAY Sports The Packers defense could benefit from starting over under Hafley. Fresh starts are fun, and they’re rare in the NFL. Careers are so short both on and off the field that players and coaches really only get one good crack at being their best. But opportunities to start new do come along on occasion, and a couple of key, young Packers defensive players have such an opportunity this year. Trying to be as fair as possible, 2022 first round picks Quay Walker and Devonte Wyatt have both shown flashes of success in their young NFL careers, though neither has really sustain ..read more
