If there was ever a question as to whether Malik Willis could possibly be traded, I think we have our answer now. NOPE

LOL not this year, UNLESS they sign a veteran with experience or would make another move to replace him with someone of similar type to him.

That would be crazy, since a vet QB would need to get up to speed with the players, coaches and most importantly, the playbook.

I don't see Malik going anywhere, unless at the trade deadline the Packers are close to being eliminated and having a dismal year.

He has been on the team for a season already. Has practiced extensively with the LS and holder. That can account for a lot when it comes to the Kickers accuracy IMO.
You didn't say. Have you seen him? Sometimes coaches take too long time to admit a mistake. Like that Norwegian? kid. And I have a suspicion that Bisiachia is not a good teacher for field goal kickers. I wouldn't want him just because he's a free spot. And actually I would prefer having a kicker that can kick well to one that has practiced with the holder but doesn't kick well.

Clayton Tune might be a nothing burger signing, but more importantly and actually very disappointing to me is this. Gute kept Clifford and Elgersma through cut downs and neither of them seemed to be in the plans by the end. Yes, maybe Gute didn't know for sure, but that was a ton of wasted practice and preseason time on 2 QB's that ended up being throw aways (at this point). I give the handling of the #3 QB an F. Also factoring in this for me, knowing you are going to lose your #2 QB at the end of the season, this was the perfect time to get your new 2026 #2 ready.
I wonder what happened to that other young QB that was better than Clifford but we didn't protect him and he went to Miami I think. Is he still around? I'm not saying to get him (though I did think he looked pretty good), I'm just curious if he's still on somebody's roster

My mistake, he hasn't been on the team for a season, that was Hale that I was thinking of.


I saw him kickoff several times and he made a 43 yarder against the Colts. I have to assume that he is the best option for a backup kicker, as of today. He is a free spot and heck, he even said that he would play for the Packer for Free.

If he looked terrible in practice, he would be gone already. Like I said, the chemistry with the LS and holder is important.

Love this pick up! Many might remember I beat the drum for him to be a potential worthy target before

LOL...forgot he was with the Chiefs. For some reason I though we cut him. Yes, a good signing and yes, now I remember you beating....the Coop Drum!

Interesting.

Seems the Packers will most likely not signing either Elgersma or Clifford to the PS and will be looking outside for an PS QB.

Sounds like they want to sign Clayton Tune.

I had the honor of watching Tune air the ball out a couple of times last year, and a few before his last year. The guy can flat out throw a football with the best of them. He threw for 40 TDs last year and was close to a 67% completion average and only 10 INTs I think it was. He can thread a needle with the ball either in the pocket or on the move. I wouldn't doubt for a moment that this is a guy the Packers will be looking at to possibly move up into the #2 position so they could get some value out of trading Willis.

I'm not saying it's going to happen, but I do see the logic behind it. He did not get the kind of coaching he needed with the Arizona Cardinals, but he will in Green Bay. To be honest, I've never figured out why he isn't on someone's 53.

Wouldn't be shocked one bit if he is the lead candidate for QB2 here in GB for the 2026 season at all.

Good signings! Getting Mosby, Welch and Alexandre back are big to me. I think those are 2 great depth guys (Mosby/Welch) and Alexandre looked good during preseason.

RB Israel Abanikanda
DE Deslin Alexandre
S Johnathan Baldwin
LB Jamon Johnson
DE Arron Mosby
LB Kristian Welch

Just 2 spots left....for now.

I suspect most special teams coordinators can't actually teach the specialists. The coordinators scheme protection and coverage, the specialists themselves have to get themselves in order, normally by paying someone out of pocket in the off season.

Special teams coaches often mess with punters' steps and drop height etc. for instance. And I'm sure they mess with field goal kickers and snappers and holders as well. I'm glad Bisaglia didn't have a chance to mess with our field goal kicker.

Interesting when I look at quite a few Packer reporters Twitter posts, they all are missing the signings of:

QB Clayton Tune and OL Dalton Cooper

Possibly because these are waived players from other teams, the Packers aren't reporting them as PS signings until they pass a physical?

This is what I have seen and if correct, means that the Packers have 2 spots still open on their 17 player PS.

PS So Far:

1. WR Will Sheppard
2. OL Brant Banks
3. WR Isaiah Neyor
4. WR Mecole Hardman
5. DL James Ester
6. S Jaylin Simpson
0. K Mark McNamee (IPP player)
7. QB Clayton Tune (Former Cardinal)
8. OL Dalton Cooper (UDFA had signed with Chiefs)
9. RB Israel Abanikanda
10. DE Deslin Alexandre
11. S Johnathan Baldwin
12. LB Jamon Johnson
13. DE Arron Mosby
14. LB Kristian Welch
15.
16.

Players choose teams once waived or released and no one puts a claim in….this could have been 100% kings call, GB’s or split agreement.

Sounds like the Packers announced that King wouldn't be back, before practice squad signings. That tells me that the terms of the divorce were known before they cut him.

All 6'7", 317 pounds of him. The trend continues; Gutekunst has decided that our future aspirations depend heavily (no pun intended) on not getting stonewalled at the line of scrimmage 3 out of every 3 snaps anymore.
Yes. There’s definitely a theme to our OL. In 2025 we’re going Bigger and leaning guys that are Great Run Blockers. I suppose you could say extend that trend to include the entire Offense RB, TE, WR also.

Size AVERAGE on the 2025 Roster (including PUP/IR)

TE’s is 6’5.5” X252lb. (4 players)
RB is 5’10.5” X222lb. (4 players)
WR is 6’1.6” X204.5lb. (7 players)
OL is 6’5.4” X319lb. (12 players)
*includes Glover on season ending IR but switch out Dalton and it’s basically identical.

I’m going to hazard a guess here and I’m pretty confident on this statement.
2025 is the Biggest Offensive Roster assembled by the GB Packers across its rich history.
