2026 UDFA Signings

[Half Empty]

Another forum has the RAS on all/most of the UDFAs. Some of those are amusing - I figure I could probably score as well as some.

Not finding ANY info. that Packers signing Wade or Falayi??

That would make 11 UDFA's when there are only 10 spots available on the 90 man roster. IF they are getting signed GB will be announcing a cut, soon.

I "reported" that there were 10 roster spots available after the draft, I read it somewhere after the draft. I wonder if that number was based on the theory that the Packers had 8 picks going into the draft. However, they traded some picks and only drafted 6 players. So that might mean they actually had 12 roster spots available after the draft.

Yesterday I noticed that RB Jaden Nixon scored a 3.2 RAS. How does a RB score so low? This ranked 1543 out of 2268 RB from 1987 to 2026.

This is what Easton has for us right now, and Wade is listed.

Just looked at current roster:
73 players
6 draft picks
1 Intn'tnl (Exempt from 90 man)
Above 11 UDFA's
GB is at the 90 man limit. Tryout players vying for the team will require a cut elsewhere if they're signed.

With these 9 UDFA's, and the 6 Draft picks, we gotta be close to our 90 man roster.

I was under the impression that draft picks don't count against the roster cap until they sign.

You may be right, not totally sure, although nowadays a lot of these picks will sign this week, do you want to sign a guy, give him a signing bonus, and then have to cut him right away, taking away an opportunity they may have had with another team? I think it's best practice to not go over, and taking the Draft picks in account with that 90 number.

That matches pretty much everything that I have seen online as well.

I just found out this is Josh Jacobs little brother...

I saw that this morning too, pretty cool. Given the lack of depth in the RB room, Isaiah may just find himself with a shot at making the 90 man roster!

Of the 5 or so I have dug into, RJ might be one of my favorite UDFA's that the Packers signed. Set aside his blue chip blood. The film on him is fun to watch, he can go up and catch a ball and he gets deep!

At 6'4", 240lbs and 4.51 40 speed, he is more of a jumbo receiver than a TE. Had he not torn his ACL in 2024, which slowed his 2025 down a bit, this guy gets drafted. Even with the injury, he finished his collegiate career with 113 receptions for 1,495 yards and 19 touchdowns, with a 13.2 yds/catch average. If he can learn to block well and play in the Packer offense, he has the potential to become a real weapon and like Kraft, stretch the defense.

Also when watching film on Maryland, I couldn't help but notice SMU's QB, Kevin Jennings. That cat has an arm and legs! He could have declared for the draft but didn't. Keep an eye on him at SMU and in the 2027 draft.

I've been very happy with Whelen, but it sucks to see that the Vikings were able to sign the best punter from the 2026 class. I'm kind of shocked that nobody used a 7th rounder on Thorson.

Minnesota Vikings signed award-winning player the rest of the NFL forgot to draft

After four years of having UDFA Ryan Wright as their punter, the future of that position could be another undrafted player.

Punting in the dome is a piece of cake. But punting in GB or Chicago in December or January is hard work.

I see that Heisman runner-up, QB Diego Pavia, went undrafted and so far unsigned as an UDFA. Should the Packers have any interest in a guy that they can probably get to the Practice squad and develop?

I'll pass. The dude is 5'10" and has an attitude that could wreck a locker.

I knew he was short, but didn't know about his bad attitude. "Pass"

He looks more like "the kid they asked to bring out the Heisman" in this picture.

At least Diego has a nice hat collection now!

Is he the one that went on the tirade about not winning the Heisman?

Yes - yes he is (thanks internet) https://www.espn.com/college-footba...izes-reaction-heisman-trophy-loss-was-mistake

I am guessing that nobody wanted another Ryan Leaf, that can't handle his emotions at even a middle school level.

Size outlier being just 5'9' for starters and he isn't very agile at all. When I see size outliers I instantly lower my expected threshhold to 6.00 being a decent/good athletic profile.
