The Packers turned Rodgers into six players, including picks used in trade-ups in the 2024 NFL Draft.

12 months and change ago, we all wondered just how much compensation the New York Jets would be willing to give the Green Bay Packers for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who had clearly moved on from the franchise following his darkness retreat. Ultimately, the Jets parted ways with the 13th, 42nd and 207th picks in the 2023 draft along with a conditional selection in the 2024 draft for Rodgers and the 15th and 170th picks in the 2023 class.

The conditional pick in 2024...

WCG’s lead draft analyst looks at the Bears’ newest cornerback UDFA signing.

The Chicago Bears have signed Troy cornerback Reddy Steward as an undrafted free agent following the 2024 NFL Draft.

The corner with the second-best PFF career grade at his position in the 2024 class, Steward is a two-time first-team All-Sun Belt cornerback with 7 interceptions, 22 pass deflections and two pick-6s over his last two seasons. He most notably finished the 2022 season with a 90.7 PFF grade: the third-highest of all FBS cornerbacks that year.

Though he measured on the smaller side leading up to the draft,...

WCG’s lead draft analyst breaks down one of Chicago’s newest UDFAs.

The Chicago Bears have signed James Madison defensive lineman Jamree Kromah as an undrafted free agent following the 2024 NFL Draft.

Kromah started off his collegiate career at Rutgers, but it was when he transferred to James Madison that he really took off. His 2023 campaign was tremendous, having finished the season with 10.0 sacks, 19.5 tackles for a loss, and a forced fumble.

A first-team All-Sun Belt member in 2023, Kromah is a versatile defensive lineman who lined up all over the place for the Dukes. Though he...

The roster is now full

Following the 2024 NFL Draft, we had been keeping our Undrafted Free Agency Tracker updated for a while but, unfortunately, I had to step away for a bit. However, the Vikings were kind enough to announce all 17 of the undrafted free agents that they have agreed to terms with while I was away.

So, without any further ado, here is the full list of undrafted free agents signed by the Minnesota Vikings following this year’s selection meeting.

• Matt Cindric, OL, California
• K.J. Cloyd, LB, Miami
• Jeremy Flax, OL, Kentucky
• Dallas...

WCG’s lead draft analyst breaks down the Bears’ local standout defensive lineman they signed as a UDFA.

The Chicago Bears have signed Illinois defensive tackle Keith Randolph Jr. as an undrafted free agent following the 2024 NFL Draft.

A three-year starter for Illinois, Randolph was an anchor of the Fighting Illini’s defense up the middle. He was an All-Big Ten third-team member in 2022, an honorable mention from the media in 2021, an honorable mention for coaches in 2023, and a third-team member that year, as well. He finishes his collegiate career with 10.0 sacks and 23.0 tackles for a...

Grading the Detroit Lions’ selection of Boston College University guard Christian Mahogany in the 2024 NFL Draft.

For the first time on Day 3 in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions didn’t trade up. Instead, they sat where they were and took Boston College guard Christian Mahogany in the sixth round. This was the last pick for the Lions in the 2024 draft, and it could have the longest-lasting impact on the team.

At Boston College, he was an All-ACC Second Team in 2021 before improving to be on the All-ACC First Team in 2023 after he returned from...

WCG’s lead draft analyst shares his breakdown of the Bears’ undrafted offensive lineman from Canada.

The Bears have signed British Columbia offensive lineman Theo Benedet as an undrafted free agent following the 2024 NFL Draft.

Though it was his teammate Giovanni Manu — who ended up going in the fourth round to the Lions — who stole the headlines in recent weeks, it was Benedet who stepped into the NFL spotlight first. He earned an invitation to the East-West Shrine Bowl in 2023 and performed quite admirably, but he opted to stay at university for another season.

Benedet accepted an...

“That’s naturally where you’d look. That’s where he’s played his whole career,” said Green Bay head coach Matt LaFleur.

When Arizona tackle Jordan Morgan was drafted by the Green Bay Packers 25th overall on Thursday, Packers fans immediately revisited Rob Demovsky’s report that the team considered returning right tackle Zach Tom a potential Hall-of-Fame center. The assumption was that Morgan could move from left tackle, where he played for the Wildcats, to right tackle, allowing Tom to push inside to center.

Green Bay head coach Matt LaFleur has different plans.

When asked if Morgan will play left tackle for him,...

With only a seventh-round pick spent on the position, Green Bay appears to be running it back at cornerback in 2024.

Many Green Bay Packers fans expected the team’s first-round selection to be turned in for Iowa cornerback Cooper DeJean when he was still available at the 25th overall pick on Thursday. The Packers had other plans, though, as they waited nine draft choices before finally selecting a player at the position: Penn State’s Kalen King, who was taken 255th overall.

When asked about the lack of activity at the cornerback position in the draft, head coach Matt LaFleur stated,...

WCG’s lead draft analyst looks at the Bears’ undrafted QB signing.

The Chicago Bears have signed Western Kentucky quarterback Austin Reed as an undrafted free agent.

Reed spent the last two seasons with the Hilltoppers, for whom he was an All-C-USA passer. Prior to throwing for 71 passing touchdowns and over 8,000 yards in that span, he was a standout quarterback for West Florida, earning himself a Division II All-American nomination for his performance.

After invitations to both the Shrine Bowl and the NFL Combine, Reed seemed like a decent bet to be drafted. However, with only 11 quarterbacks selected...

Green Bay’s fans generally approve of the team’s first pick in 2024.

The Green Bay Packers’ first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft probably would not be described as a “sexy” pick. Rarely is drafting an offensive lineman described that way, but that is no matter — building out in the trenches, particularly on the line in front of a young quarterback, is usually a good option.

Ultimately, the Packers drafted offensive tackle Jordan Morgan from the University of Arizona. That pick came with a few popular mock draft picks for the Packers still on the board — notably, Graham...

This could be a fun story for Bears fans.

With the NFL draft over, the undrafted free agent signings are popping off as quickly as ever, and while nothing is official until it's announced by the Chicago Bears, their rumored new UDFA quarterback has a fan in their rookie first-round drafted quarterback.

Caleb Williams excitedly reacted to a Tweet about Chicago signing Western Kentucky's Austin Reed.

Woahhhhhh!!! Haha o yeaaa

Williams and Reed (6’ 1 1/2’’, 220) worked out together this offseason in Florida, and they shared a quarterback trainer, Will Hewlett, from the QB Collective.
