The Green Bay Packers are determined to surround star quarterback Jordan Love with the best possible options for the 2025 NFL season. In that context, the Pack made several roster moves, including the re-signing of a player who previously spent time with the Kansas City Chiefs as a teammate of Patrick Mahomes.
In recent hours, the Packers have made important decisions ahead of the upcoming season. In 2024, they came close to marking a turning point for the franchise, but a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Wild Card Round cut their momentum short.
Love will be the star of the team in the upcoming season, once again looking to move out of the shadow of a quarterback like Aaron Rodgers, while the NFC North franchise longs for the days when they won the Super Bowl. In that context, making a few changes could help strengthen the team, including a former Mahomes teammate in the Chiefs.
Roster moves for the Love’s Packers
The former Mahomes teammate re-joining the Packers is safety Zayne Anderson, who played seven games with the Chiefs during the 2021 and 2022 seasons. At the same time, Green Bay has decided to release defensive lineman Leonard Payne, who had signed a futures contract in January.
Zayne Anderson of the Packers
Anderson had already played for the Packers in the previous two seasons. After arriving as an exclusive rights free agent, he was initially acquired by Green Bay in August 2023. Last season, he appeared in 16 games (two as a starter) and recorded 16 tackles, one interception, and two passes defended.
