NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported the full list of players who were picked up from waivers on Wednesday following the NFL’s cutdowns. In total, 30 players were claimed, fewer than one per club.
Notably, the Green Bay Packers didn’t win a single waiver claim and did not have any of their releases picked up by another squad.
Players who were claimed:
One interesting name on this list is former Kansas City Chiefs tackle Esa Pole, who was a pre-draft visitor with the Packers this offseason. We noted that when Pole was waived, there was potential for him to join Green Bay. With the New York Jets having waiver priority over the Packers because of their 2024 record, though, we’ll never know if Green Bay put in a claim for him.
The good news: The Packers should have the advantage over the rest of the league in being able to retain their own cuts to keep on their practice squad this year. Two other former Green Bay visitors, cornerback Jammie Robinson and tight end Josh Whyle, passed through waivers. It doesn’t appear that the Packers still have interest in those former draft picks.
