The Green Bay Packers are bringing back quarterback Jake Dolegala to add to the team's depth at the position. The signing isn't official yet, but it has been announced by Dolegala's agency, Generation Sports Group. The Packers' backup quarterback Jordan Love (shoulder) is currently sidelined with a shoulder injury and starter Aaron Rodgers isn't expected to play in the preseason. Dolegala and Kurt Benkert will likely be the team's quarterback duo in this Saturday's game against the New York Jets. Dolegala began the offseason with the Packers, but he was released right before training camp after Rodgers returned from his holdout.
New England Patriots quarterback Jake Dolegala is now in his second stint with the organization. He was recently claimed off waivers from the Green Bay Packers. A bit of an odd move considering the Pats have Cam Newton and Mac Jones competing for the starter job. Behind them, Brian Hoyer and Jarrett Stidham (back) fill out the roster. However, Stidham underwent back surgery and won't be ready for the start of the season. Apparently, Dolegala was brought in to compete with Hoyer for the No. 3 quarterback job. Regardless of who wins, neither player will have fantasy value with Newton and Jones healthy.
The Green Bay Packers are signing free-agent quarterback Jake Dolegala to an undisclosed deal on Thursday, according to his agent. Dolegala, who tried out at the team's mandatory minicamp, will provide some more quarterback depth for Green Bay heading into training camp next month. The Packers now have five signal-callers on the roster, including Dolegala, Jordan Love, Blake Bortles, Kurt Benkert and Aaron Rodgers, who continues to hold out. Dolegala, 24, was with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2019, but he never played in a game. He was on the New England Patriots practice squad last year but was waived after the team selected Mac Jones in the first round. Dolegala has yet to appear in a regular season NFL game.
