Packers sign another reserve/future player, up to 17

Yesterday, the Green Bay Packers signed 16 players to reserve/future contracts, which are essentially league-minimum deals that practice squad players typically receive. With that being said, sometimes teams do sign players on the street or players who were on other teams’ practice squads to reserve/future deals, too. On Tuesday, the Packers added a 17th reserve/future player in receiver Isaiah Neyor.

Neyor signed with Green Bay in training camp and made the team’s initial practice squad following roster cutdowns. In last week’s wild card game, Neyor was called up to the gameday roster and played three offensive snaps. It seemed odd that Neyor wasn’t signed yesterday, when the majority of the Packers’ practice squad was, considering the team just played him in a win-or-go-home game. After the Neyor signing, the only practice squaders who haven’t been signed to a reserve/future deal in 2026 are receivers Julian Hicks and Kisean Johnson.

If Jenkins, Gary and Diggs are eventually gone, which is the expectation, then 62 of the team’s allotted 91 offseason roster spots will be taken. On top of that, four more players on the team are exclusive rights free agents, WR Bo Melton, OL Donovan Jennings, OL Lecitus Smith and CB Kamal Hadden. That gets the team up to 66 of 91, as the team almost always picks up...
