The Green Bay Packers selected 11 players in the 2024 NFL Draft. The list of these players, of course, is highlighted by offensive tackle Jordan Morgan, whom Green Bay selected with the 25th overall pick in the first round. It is expected that Morgan will compete with 2022 seventh round pick Rasheed Walker for the starting left tackle job.
Last week, Morgan and the other draft picks, as well as undrafted free agents and players that were invited for a tryout, reported to Green Bay for the Packers’ rookie mini camp. These practices provided the players with their first on-field work with their team since the draft.
Unfortunately, one of these undrafted rookies, offensive lineman Trente Jones, decided to retire from football over the weekend. The team, however is loaded with young offensive line talent thanks to the position being one that Brian Gutekunst focused on in this year’s draft.
The Green Bay Packers Signed 6 of Their 2024 NFL Draft Picks
On Tuesday, the Packers announced that they had reached contract agreements with six of their 2024 NFL Draft picks. These players are:
- Marshawn Lloyd (third round; running back)
- Ty’Ron Hopper (third round; linebacker)
- Evan Williams (fourth round; safety)
- Jacob Monk (fifth round; offensive lineman)
- Kitan Oladapo (fifth round; safety)
- Travis Glover (seventh round; offensive lineman)
Green Bay previously agreed to contracts with seventh round picks Michael Pratt (quarterback) and Kalen King (cornerback).
Three Green Bay Packers 2024 NFL Draft Picks Remain Unsigned
With the six signings announced on Tuesday, the Packers have three of their picks left to sign. These happen to be the first three players that they drafted:
- Jordan Morgan (first round; offensive line)
- Edgerrin Cooper (second round; linebacker)
- Javon Bullard (second round; safety)
The lack of agreed contracts between the Packers and these three picks is not a concern. The NFL has strict salary guidelines for players based on where they get drafted. The only sticking point in negotiations may be how much of that salary is guaranteed.
All three will be signed sooner or later.
