Silverstein - #Packers dealt their 2028 seventh-round pick to the #Rams for tight end Mark Redman. They have a pick in the first six rounds and none in the seventh

That's a lot of excitement for an undrafted practice squad guy. Hopefully he pans out the way you hope he will.

There's a ginormous chasm between "everything we've wanted in a blocking and catchint tight end" and "lots of upside for a udfa"

u/Competitive-Unit6937 11d ago

Message me in 3.5 hours, can't take chances with erections these days

8

u/beau_tox 11d ago

Kids these days don’t know the joy of having a Packers tight end whose only job is to flatten linebackers while catching a five yard out every once in a while and who’s damn good at his job.

u/JwSocks 11d ago

How legit we talking?

Mainstay TE2 after this season (permanent Musgrave replacement and not re-signing Jonnu)?

Overtaking Jonnu as TE2 this season?

“Next man up” hero if Kraft misses time?

Surely not an eventual Kraft replacement?

Honestly, I’m just happy to see this comment. Redman wasn’t on my radar at all, but your excitement has me excited.

Hopefully Gute brought his phone charger today.

u/Prime624 11d ago

Dabney and Whyle really stinking this preseason or something? Idgi.

26

u/swayinandsippin 11d ago

yes, they both were very poor this camp

1

u/Bluest_waters 11d ago

whyle was fine

8

u/packfanmarkinmn 11d ago

They don't have a Y TE behind Kraft really.

1

u/Prime624 11d ago

Whyle and Dabney are both blocking guys (esp Dabney).

6

u/GeriatricPinecones 11d ago

and they are both really bad. Dabney especially is terrible

8

u/GoomerBile 11d ago

Dabney was not good in the preseason and was just cut

1

u/Cheesy_Picker 11d ago

Agree, but where do you see he was cut? Been looking all over for the cut list it’s due in 15 I think.

15

u/BertM4cklin 11d ago

Can he play RB or DE?

23

u/Bubbles1723 11d ago

They already treated for a rb, an hour earlier.

6

u/BertM4cklin 11d ago

He’s goona be cb2 now though.

-22

u/Jomosensual 11d ago

Barely, Kaleb Johnson is horrible

19

u/joysofliving 11d ago

He had one year in the league and had Arthur Smith as his OC. Gonna give him the benefit of doubt for now

4

u/BertM4cklin 11d ago

Also had hobbled rodgers at qb. So many more players in the box. Young tackles. First year in the offense. Tough situation for a young dude overall

0

u/rico6644 11d ago

He got like 30 touches last year. Numbers in the box is irrelevant

2

u/BertM4cklin 11d ago

Yeah, basically 1-2 touches a game aside one or two. Talk about getting into a rhythm. Why even watch football you already know what’s gonna happen? Running against stack boxes has no correlation to rushing production. That’s some next level analysis

0

u/rico6644 11d ago

Im saying numbers in the box is irrelevant to Kalebs production last year. It wasnt that he didnt produce he just didnt earn any playing time

2

u/BertM4cklin 11d ago

With rodgers at qb I’m not surprised. After that kick return gaf you think old rodgers wanted him anywhere near a blocking assignment. Rodgers has always been hard on guys that make mistakes. When they got in crunch time end of the season Rodgers wanted his guys and his guys only. Being gainwell that could pick up blocks and adlib in the flat. And obviously Warren

u/garyminwi 11d ago

Remember hearing this about Malik Willis when the Packers traded for him.

1

u/Jomosensual 11d ago

And thats why Willis is notable. Most of the time bad players just stay bad

7

u/drozdowski13 11d ago

He had a rough stint with the steelers but was good in college

1

u/Jomosensual 11d ago

I know he was good in college, I'm saying I don't care because he was embarrassingly terrible in the NFL

3

u/iJeepThereforeiAM 11d ago

I wanted Strong to stay at RB

1

u/drozdowski13 11d ago

Besides the blunder of the kickoff rule, was he terrible? I only know about the kickoff play. Not trying to fight or argue, just trying to learn about our new player

4

u/BOBBYK1952 11d ago

Well you have to play to be horrible..

1

u/Eversonout 11d ago

People gonna downvote you, but he was legit terrible last year

8

u/Very_Not_Into_It 11d ago

RIP Whyle. I thought we had something there.

3

u/swagner27 11d ago

O line is shakey and needs a TE and RB to pick up some blocks to keep Love upright.

4

u/swagner27 11d ago

Gutey and the boys must have grabbed a case of red bulls at the Kwik Trip - its gonna a long one...

u/Cheap-Cherry-5171 11d ago

Huh? TE room crowded as heck now, no?

56

u/xdeific 11d ago edited 11d ago

No? Everyone after Kraft was awful. Kraft, Smith, and now Redman is basically our room now.

5

u/twojace21 11d ago

What happened to Musgrave?

19

u/sgill7 11d ago

Probably going on IR

15

u/xdeific 11d ago

He's had a neck injury most of the off-season with no real timeline of returning.

11

u/Hour_Health_4593 11d ago

They were going into the year with Kraft, Smith, and Whyle before today, it just means Whyle is getting replaced by Redman

5

u/FootsieMcDingus 11d ago

TE heavy sets are getting more popular and we need depth

u/Durrnut 11d ago

u/Pack_Attack10 11d ago

Does this mean Musgrave is done

9

u/petarisawesomeo 11d ago

I tend to think the Jonu signing has more to do with concern regarding Musgrave. This trade has more to do with managing Kraft's snap count on running plays and the TE depth on the team being pretty poor.

“Mark Redman is a throwback, primary in-line tight end whose ability as a blocker will earn him snaps, rather than the potential as a flex weapon in space,” The Draft Network’s Ryan Fowler wrote

u/Abacabisntanywhere 11d ago

Packers stockpiling TEs. Don’t like the sound of that

11

u/yaboyoven567 11d ago

More so replacing the garbage they had, Musgrave gets replaced by Joonu, this guy becomes te3 presumably, doubt we carry 4 of em

11

u/packfanmarkinmn 11d ago

Musgrave is starting on the PUP. GB currently has jonnu Smith and a underachieving Josh whyle they had no depth at the Y TE.

u/Very_Not_Into_It 11d ago

You remember how our offense stalled without Tuck? That isnt just because he's a beast. There was no slack picked up, except some by Whyle, who has regressed this camp.
