Overview
- Multiple media outlets reported that the Packers will sign safety Trey Dean III after he completed a workout with the team, with the report originating from NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
- Dean went undrafted in 2023 and has spent time on practice squads with the Jets and Chiefs, earning a Super Bowl ring as a Chiefs practice-squad member but not yet playing in an NFL regular-season game.
- He revived his stock by playing in spring leagues and winning a championship, and evaluators view him as an athletic, physical safety with special-teams upside though not top-end speed.
- Reports say the Packers also expect to add Tra Fluellen, but that second signing is less well corroborated across outlets than Dean's reported addition.
- Green Bay's moves respond to injuries that left only a handful of healthy safeties available, and the team has already cleared roster spots to fit new signings ahead of its preseason opener.
