That's a big hole to fill, but the Packers trust they can cover it, and that's in part due to the team going 7-0 in the games Adams missed since Matt LaFleur took over as head coach in 2019. The Packers no doubt considered the latter, as they handed Rodgers a lucrative contract extension in the offseason that could keep him in Green Bay for several more years.īoth definitions will be put to the test in 2022, as both Rodgers and the Packers no longer will count on the services of Davante Adams, who was traded to the Raiders in March. MVP voters certainly believed Aaron Rodgers was the former the last two years, as he took home the award in both 20. The second word in MVP – valuable – means different things to different people, but according to the dictionary, as a noun it is "a thing that is of great worth," and as an adjective it describes something "worth a great deal of money." 8)įull 2022 Depth Chart 2022 Green Bay Packers Schedule Week O-Line: LT David Bakhtiari / LG Jon Runyan / C Josh Myers / RG Royce Newman / RT Elgton Jenkins (RotoWire Rank: No. TE: Robert Tonyan / Josiah Deguara / Marcedes Lewis / Tyler Davis / Dominique Dafney WR3: Sammy Watkins / Romeo Doubs / Samori Toure WR2: Christian Watson / Juwann Winfree / Malik Taylor WR1: Allen Lazard / Randall Cobb / Amari Rodgers RB: Aaron Jones / AJ Dillon / Kylin Hill / Patrick Taylor Offensive Coordinator: Adam Stenavich (Year 1) – West Coast offenseĭefensive Coordinator: Joe Barry (Year 2) – 3-4 scheme Stats to Know for the Green Bay Packersįull 2021 Team Stats 2022 Green Bay Packers Depth Chart Heads to the AFC after four years in Green Bay.īolsters a division rival and leaves Green Bay thin on the edge.

The elite athlete will get a chance to contribute right away. The rookie is set to complement De'Vondre Campbell in the middle. A practice-squad decision could come down to which safety - Gaines or Uphoff - the Packers like more, but it wouldn’t be unreasonable to see both of them retained for the reserves. Guys like Henry Black and Vernon Scott who actually played in regular-season games for the Packers last season held an obvious advantage, but Gaines could still provide a valuable depth piece on the practice squad with Redmond on injured reserve. The Packers signed to a reserve/future contract on January 8 and saw some impressive reps from him in camp practice and the preseason. Gaines could be one of the top options for the Packers to bring back once the 53-man roster deadline passes and they make all of their injury designations. He kicked the crap out of the ball in camp, survived two rounds of cuts, even with Mason Crosby entrenched atop the depth chart. #Packers released kicker JJ Molson, per source. The Packers could attempt to keep Benkert on their practice squad as an emergency plan for 2021 (or as a developmental piece for a Rodgers-less future that could arrive as soon as 2022), but don’t be surprised if another team claims him off the waivers and deprives them of the chance. With Aaron Rodgers returning as their starter and another first-round pick in Jordan Love backing him up, there wasn’t much of a short-term reason to keep Benkert around, even after a solid preseason in which he went 33-of-48 passing for 300 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. The question with Benkert has always been about whether the Packers would carry three quarterbacks with them into the 2021 season. Thought he'd shown enough as a backup tackle to stick on the 53. #Packers indeed released G Ben Braden and C Jacob Capra, as said.īraden had been in running for a starting job guard job early in camp.


Now, the former Chicago Bears seventh-round pick is once again looking for a new job. While Denmark played in their preseason finale in Buffalo and might’ve been the best cornerback on the field for them against the Bills, he had been in Green Bay for less than a week after signing on August 25.
