Green Bay Packers Roster

Wisconsin-Whitewater center Quinn Meinerz (hand), considered the best center in this year's draft by some, completed 33 repetitions on the bench press on Thursday at a workout run by the Green Bay Packers. Meinerz is coming off a broken hand at the Senior Bowl, but he looks to be healthy ahead of the NFL draft later this month. He will likely be a Day 2 pick, but his legend continues to grow and has been in contact with all 32 teams during the pre-draft process. The Packers have an obvious in-state connection and also have a need at the position after losing Corey Linsley in free agency. Meinerz impressed at the Senior Bowl and could be a starting-caliber player capable of either replacing Linsley or playing guard to allow a player like Lucas Patrick or Elgton Jenkins to move to center.

The Green Bay Packers re-signed tight end Marcedes Lewis to a two-year, $8 million deal that includes $2.1 million guaranteed. Lewis has spent the last three seasons in Green Bay and caught only 10 passes for 107 yards three touchdowns in his 15th season last year. The Packers also signed long snapper Joe Fortunato on Wednesday. Lewis was mainly used as a blocker in 2020, with Robert Tonyan serving as the team's primary pass-catching tight end. Green Bay also has Jace Sternberger in the fold at the position, so Lewis will return to the same role he had last season. The former first-round pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars back in 2006 has recorded 28 catches on 40 targets for 302 yards and four touchdowns in his three seasons with the Packers. He can be ignored in the vast majority of fantasy leagues.

The Green Bay Packers re-signed cornerback Kevin King to a one-year, $6 million deal on Tuesday, according to a source. King was the team's first-round pick back in 2017, but he's battled through injuries and inconsistency, and he allowed Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady's 39-yard touchdown pass with one second left in the first half last year's NFC Championship game. He has never been healthy for an entire season and missed five games in 2020 with a quadriceps injury. King has missed 23 of a possible 64 regular season games in his four-year career. He has six career interceptions (five in 2019). The Packers starting secondary from a year ago -- King, All-Pro cornerback Jaire Alexander and safeties Adrian Amos and Darnell Savage -- will remain intact in 2021.

The Green Bay Packers are trying to negotiate a restructured contract with quarterback Aaron Rodgers that would free up salary cap space for the 2021 season. It partially explains why the Packers have yet to sign a single free agent that played for a different team so far this offseason. If the team restructures Rodgers' contract, it should give us a better idea of how they view his future with the club. Green Bay traded up in the first round to take quarterback Jordan Love, the future heir apparent to Rodgers, but the veteran signal-caller responded by leading the league in passer rating (121.5), QBR (84.4), touchdowns (48) and completion rate (70.7 percent) on his way to his third NFL MVP award. Despite his age (37), Rodgers will be drafted as a top-five fantasy QB in 2021.

The Green Bay Packers tendered restricted free-agent cornerback Chandon Sullivan at the right-of-first-refusal level of $2.133 million. Should another team sign Sullivan to an offer sheet and the Packers not match it, Green Bay wouldn't receive draft-pick compensation. Sullivan was signed in May of 2019 and became a quality No. 4 cornerback in his first season before transitioning to the slot role in 2020. He has played in all 32 games in the last two seasons, recording 12 pass breakups and two interceptions (one for a touchdown). The Packers also used the second-round restricted tender on tight end Robert Tonyan. Quarterback Tim Boyle, defensive lineman Tyler Lancaster, safety Raven Greene and cornerback Parry Nickerson are also restricted free agents.
