The Green Bay Packers are going into a 2024 season with expectations of being one of the best teams in the NFC. Their 2023 season ended just three points shy of reaching the NFC Championship game (after a missed field goal).
They’ve added multiple free agents this off-season who are certain to have a big impact on this team for years to come.
However, one player won’t even see training camp.
The Green Bay Packers Release Player Prior To Training Camp
Our very own Jordan Sigler reported the news earlier today:
As previously discussed on WSH, the Packers didn’t seem content with what they saw at OTAs. The Packers showed interest in Jake Bates before he chose to sign with the Detroit Lions:
The Packers have an important position battle going on at kicker. Anders Carlson struggled in his rookie season with the Packers. This offseason, the Packers brought in former Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph and undrafted free agent Jack Podlesny to challenge Carlson for a roster spot.
The Packers didn’t appear satisfied with those three when a report surfaced that they requested to visit with UFL star Jake Bates.
Per a statement by the Packers, the team released Podlesny on Wednesday. The Packers have an open roster spot after releasing Podlesny. The Packers could add another kicker before training camp to compete with Joseph and Carlson.
