Breaking down Packers’ recent roster moves ahead of training camp

The Packers have been busy adjusting the fringes of the 90-man roster ahead of training camp. Here’s a closer look at the recent roster moves.

Over the span of roughly a week leading up to the start of training camp, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst tinkered with the fringes of his 90-man roster, making a number of moves.

The team is now set for the start of training camp practices on Wednesday morning.

The team’s full 90-man roster can be found here.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the moves and the new players:

Packers sign former Raiders safety Dallin Leavitt

The Packers filled their 90-man roster by signing Dallin Leavitt, a former Raiders safety and special teams who played for Rich Bisaccia.

The Green Bay Packers filled their 90-man roster by signing former Las Vegas Raiders safety Dallin Leavitt on Monday.

Leavitt, an undrafted free agent out of Utah State, played in 42 games for the Raiders between 2018 and 2021. He produced 56 total tackles and two fumble recoveries, including 24 tackles on special teams. Last season, he led the Raiders in special teams tackles.

Leavitt, who turns 28 next month, was released by the Raiders on July 20.

Over 42 games with the Raiders, Leavitt (5-10, 195) played 369 snaps on defense and 839 snaps on special teams, including career-highs of 249 defensive snaps and 348 special teams snaps last season.

Leavitt’s experience playing for new Packers special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia almost certainly influenced the signing. In Green Bay, Leavitt will get a legitimate chance to win a backup job at safety and play multiple roles for Bisaccia on special teams.

Leavitt will wear No. 6 with the Packers.

Packers training camp 90-man roster preview: Edge rushers

The Packers could have the best trio of pass-rushing outside linebackers in the NFL in 2021 if everything falls into place.

If everything falls into place, the Green Bay Packers might have the best group of pass-rushing outside linebackers in the NFL in 2021.

Za’Darius Smith has 26 sacks in his first two seasons in Green Bay, Preston Smith must bounce back after a disappointing 2020 season and Rashan Gary looks like a star in the making entering his third season. There might be question marks behind the top three, but the Packers’ trio could be as productive as any pass-rushing group in football this season.
