Packers Trim Roster, Cut Three Ahead of Draft

The moves clear space for incoming rookies.

Overview

  • The Packers released tight end McCallan Castles, linebacker Jamon Johnson, and cornerback Tyron Herring from their 91-man offseason roster.
  • The cuts leave Green Bay with 74 players on the offseason roster, including tendered exclusive-rights free agents.
  • The team is oversigned at linebacker, which the report cited as a key reason for parting with Johnson.
  • Johnson was a highly rated undrafted signee who played in Weeks 13 and 18 and had the second-most guaranteed money among 2025 additions behind nose tackle Nazir Stackhouse.
  • With eight picks in the upcoming draft, Green Bay would have about nine roster spots left for veterans or undrafted free agents after selections are made.
