You’ve seen my 53-man roster projection, and probably hate it, but what about everyone else? We’re going to use this article as a hub to track the Green Bay Packers media’s predictions of what the team will look like in 2025, so you can have multiple views on some of these roster-related debates.
The list below is all of the roster predictions we’re currently working off of:

For the most part, the projections expect the Packers to carry nine offensive linemen on the 53-man roster this year. The real debate is whether Donovan Jennings or Kadeem Telfort is the final player.
