Packers Release Three Players for One Reason Only

Si.com and 1 more

Packers release three players on Friday to clear space ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft, setting the stage for roster shaping as they approach final draft decisions.
Jamon Johnson, McCallan Castles and Tyron Herring—the three cuts—had spent the season on Green Bay’s practice squad or contributed in limited action after joining as undrafted or preseason additions.
The roster moves free space to add up to 16 players through the draft and UDFA signings, aligning with the team’s plan to optimize the 74-man offseason roster.
Jamon Johnson appeared in two games last season, logging special-teams and extensive defensive action in Week 18 for Green Bay.
Herring, a Delaware product, flashed with a notable preseason hit and earned a guaranteed contract before spending the season on and off the Packers’ practice squad.
Castles’ season ended on injured reserve after joining the practice squad following Tucker Kraft’s ACL injury, illustrating the depth-chart reshuffle behind the scenes.
The Packers open their offseason workouts on Monday, with voluntary OTAs slated for late May and June as they finalize their early-program plan.
The Packers still hold eight draft picks and have UDFA slots, maintaining options to bolster the roster after the draft.
Cornerbacks on the roster total seven after the cuts, including Nixon, Valentine, St-Juste, Hadden, Melton, Bartholomew and Simpson, keeping a layered defensive backfield.
With Johnson, Castles and Herring moved, the Packers’ linebacker group sits at six, including Cooper, Franklin, Hopper, McDuffie, Niemann and Welch, signaling continued emphasis at that position.
