Packers work out 7 players, including 6 on offense

Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst exited early from Monday’s shareholder’s meeting to go try out a player. In the afternoon, it was announced the team was signing safety Dallin Leavitt. The Packers are now officially up to 90 players heading into training camp, but Gutekunst is still keeping an eye on outside talent. According to the league’s transaction wire, Green Bay worked out seven other players, and all but six on offense, including three receivers (two from the USFL) and a quarterback with Wisconsin ties. 

Here is a quick look at all seven players:

The Packers have three quarterbacks on their 90-man roster and two locks for the 53-man roster, but the third and final spot is essentially up for grabs. Danny Etling is the third-stringer behind Aaron Rodgers and Jordan Love, but an injury or poor performance could force them to look elsewhere. Stanley, a native of Menomonie, Wisconsin, was a three-year starter at Iowa and ranks second all-time in school history in touchdown passes and yards. The Minnesota Vikings used a seventh-round pick on Stanley in 2020, but he failed to move into a full-time backup role behind Kirk Cousins. After spending most of his time on the Vikings practice squad and injured reserve, Stanley was waived almost a week ago and is still waiting to play his first NFL snap.

The Packers recently signed tight end Sal Cannella after an impressive season in the USFL. Adams is another USFL product and former teammate of Cannella trying to make his way onto an NFL roster. Adams has good size for a wide receiver at 6-2 and 220 pounds and was known for making some impressive grabs during his college career. After finishing with 166 career receptions for 2,303 yards and 21 touchdowns at Arkansas State, Adams went undrafted in 2021 but eventually landed with the Detroit Lions. However, the wideout was released leading up to training camp and then got suspended for the first six games of the regular season. Adams seems to have gotten back on track, as he was a standout for the New Orleans Breakers in USFL, finishing fifth in the league with 406 receiving yards.
