According to the Packers, the former Florida Gators right tackle was initially signed as a UDFA by the Bears in 2022. He had been with the Packers since last December.:
Re-signed by Green Bay on Jan. 10, 2023…Was signed to the Packers’ practice squad on Dec. 13, 2022, and was with the team for the final four games last season…Spent time on the Arizona Cardinals’ practice squad in November 2022…Entered the league with the Chicago Bears as an undrafted free agent on May 6, 2022, and then was released by the Bears on Aug. 28, 2022
If he falls through waivers this week, we’ll see if the Packers plan to retain Delance on the practice squad.
