They resigned center Sean Ryan to a three-year deal, worth $33 million after he started the final A Games of last season. Linebacker Nick Neeman is back on a one-year contract as a special team standout and running back Chris Brooks got a two-year extension for his. Versatile backup role. In a player swap, the Packers traded defensive lineman Colby Wooden to the Indianapolis Colts for Linebacker Zaire Franklin. Franklin, who turns 30 in July, brings pro-bowl experience from 2024 and fits as a runstopper, potentially filling a gap if K. Walker leaves.

wide receiver Romeo Dubs, defensive in Kingsley and Igbare, and quarterback Malik Willis. Restricted and exclusive rights players could hit the market too, if not tendered soon.
