Overview
- Miami claimed defensive tackle James Ester off waivers from Green Bay, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
- Ester entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent and spent two seasons with the Packers without a regular-season snap.
- He worked under Jeff Hafley in Green Bay, and new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan also knows him from that tenure.
- Coverage says he faces long odds to make the 53-man roster and will likely compete for a practice-squad role.
- The move aligns with Miami’s youth-driven rebuild that featured 13 draft picks and ongoing use of the post-draft waiver market.
