Packers Cut Players Join CFL Lists

0:00On April 27th, Montreal, Alouette scooped up Virginia Tech quarterback Kyron Drone's for their negotiation list back on January 28th. That's the CFL system, where teams claim dibs on up to 45 American players if they hit the market. The list just went public this July 2025, shining light on these hidden gems. Drone's, though, signed an undrafted rookie deal with the Green Bay Packers over the weekend. CFL pay starts at $70,000 Canadian dollars, roughly $50,000 US. Peanuts next to the NFL's $885,000 rookie. Minimum or even practice squad cash. Packers hosted 30 pre-draft visitors this year, and a bunch were already on CFL lists. Texas Tech quarterback Baron Morton went to Calvary's list, East Carolina receiver Anthony Smith to Montreal, and others like Winnipeg's defensive. Tackle and cornerback picks got drafted late. Even New Mexico running back Damon Bankston, another Packers visitor, signed as an undrafted free agent with the New York Giants.

1:01Meanwhile, two fresh Packers cuts, linebacker Jamen Johnson, and cornerback Tyron Herring, popped up on Hamilton's negotiation list right after release. NFL squads like Green Bay seemed to be scouting these public lists early for overlooked talent. If Drone's stall is stateside, Montreal's got that northern welcome mat out. I'm Corey with the story that sure NFL news today update AI powered and always on.
