The Green Bay Packers released tight end Nick Guggemos in the corresponding roster transaction to signing rookie receiver Jadakis Bonds on Tuesday, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.

Guggemos, an undrafted free agent from St. Thomas (MN), originally signed to the Packers practice squad in late November of last year. He returned in January on a futures deal.

Guggemos (6-5, 247) previously spent time with the practice squads of the Seattle Seahawks and Cleveland Browns.

Releasing Guggemos leaves the Packers with six tight ends on the roster, including draft picks Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft.

Browns waive a tight end, sign a tight end

One in, one out at the tight end position while Harper officially terminated via waivers on Tuesday as the roster churn continues:

Under GM Andrew Berry, the Cleveland Browns are often churning the bottom of the roster for a variety of reasons. We’ve seen the team sign and release Felix Harper. We’ve seen them claim, waive and sign Reggie Robinson in the span of a few days.

Tuesday brought more churning of the roster with the Browns waiving TE Nick Guggemos and signing TE Nakia Griffin-Stewart.

Guggemos was on Cleveland’s practice squad at the end of last season but didn’t see the field. According to every search, Guggemos only played in one game at St. Thomas in Minnesota during his college career where he had one catch for eight yards.

Griffin-Stewart played in two games for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2021, his only NFL action. The 25-year-old played in 11 games at Rutgers over three seasons and 11 games in his one year at Pittsburgh. Combined, the tight end caught 32 passes for 282 yards and two touchdowns.

Harper was terminated from the roster after passing through waivers on Tuesday as well.

Washington adds Justus Reed and Nick Guggemos to training camp roster

Washington added depth at tight end and defensive end in Reed and Guggemos.

The Washington Football Team signed a pair of players to their training camp roster on Thursday morning before practice.

Justus Reed is a 6-foot-3, 255-pound defensive end who originally signed as an undrafted free agent with the Tennessee Titans. He was waived in June. Reed played his senior season at Virginia Tech, where he recorded 28 tackles, including nine for loss and 6.5 sacks.

Reed had a bit of a long college career. He began at Florida in 2014 before injuries derailed him. From there, he would go to Youngstown State, where he would spend the next three seasons and earned All-Missouri Valley first-team honors in 2019.

Reed transferred to Virginia Tech as a graduate student in 2020.

Washington also signed tight end Nick Guggemos. Guggemos is a 6-foot-5, 231-pound tight who played collegiately at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota.

Guggemos signed with the Seattle Seahawks after the 2021 NFL draft but was released one month later. Guggemos spent three years away from football and participated in the University of Minnesota’s pro day earlier this year, where he impressed with his speed and athleticism.

Guggemos was signed after Washington waived Deon Yelder on Monday, and Tyrone Swoopes did not report to training camp.

Seattle Seahawks sign tight end Nick Guggemos

The Seattle Seahawks have signed tight end Nick Guggemos.

 

The Seattle Seahawks have added a potential tight end to their arsenal, signing Nick Guggemos on Thursday.

Guggemos hails from the University of St. Thomas, a Division III school in St. Paul, Minnesota, the alma mater of Seahawks general manager John Schneider.

He worked out at the University of Minnesota’s Pro Day and obviously caught Seattle’s eye. He played football and ran track in college but his career was shortened by injuries.

Guggemos’ father also attended the small school and spent three years in the NFL as a defensive back and kick returner.
