Overview
- Multiple outlets cited NFL insider Jordan Schultz in reporting the trade on Sunday, Aug. 30, that sent 2025 undrafted free agent Mark Redman from the Los Angeles Rams to the Green Bay Packers.
- Redman is a second‑year, former Louisville player who spent 2025 on the Rams’ practice squad and is widely evaluated as a throwback, in‑line tight end whose value is primarily as a run‑and‑pass blocker.
- Los Angeles’ established tight end depth led by Colby Parkinson and Tyler Higbee made Redman a movable developmental piece as the team trimmed its roster ahead of the regular season.
- Green Bay has been active in late‑August roster moves to bolster depth, and acquiring Redman fits their need for blocking tight end help while they manage contingency plans on offense.
- The trade remains a developing story because neither team has disclosed what the Rams received in return and the move adds a subplot to the teams’ Week 12 meeting; reporters will likely seek official confirmation and compensation details next.
