A team cannot sign a player from another team's practice squad without putting him on the 53 man active roster. That's the rule.I first read this as being on the practice squad but this is the full roster. Nice.

Rodgers could potentially turn him into a star.
Too bad there are only two games left for Green Bay. Doesn't make sense for them to bring him on board if they aren't going to try him out so guessing he'll maybe see the field?
Agreed, and with Jimmy Graham being a disappointment thus far he could find a niche as as a combo tight end/receiver.I'd like to see him put on 20 pounds and play tight end. Could be a great receiving weapon there. Has average speed for an NFL receiver but very happy to see him land with the Packers. Go Pack Go!!!
Aaron Jones was put on IR, my guess is they wanted to see him and see if he could possibly make the team next year. Significant pay raise to be on the 53 vs practice squad
I don't find a weekly pay rate for NFL minimum 53 squad but the annual rookie rate divided by 17 weeks ($28,235) is almost 4 times the $7600 weekly practice squad members receive. He also would get a 3 week minimum even though there are only two weeks left in the season. Eighty-five grand is a nice little Christmas present.Aaron Jones was put on IR, my guess is they wanted to see him and see if he could possibly make the team next year.

GrossI just went from six to midnight as a Packers fan. Not quite sure how he fits in long term, the Packers need a deep threat to take the top off the defense and that isn’t Allen’s forte.
As a Vikes fan I don't like this but as far as an opportunity this is perfect for Lazard. Should get a crack at playing time the last couple games and if he happens to develop chemistry with a QB like Rodgers that's a career changer. Watch a Cyclone break through in the NFL only to repeatedly destroy my favorite team
I’d be really surprised if Rodgers plays the last 2 games. There is no reason to risk him getting injured any further.As a Vikes fan I don't like this but as far as an opportunity this is perfect for Lazard.

Yeah, that seems to be a very real possibility.I’d be really surprised if Rodgers plays the last 2 games. There is no reason to risk him getting injured any further.

On an unrelated note if the Packers resign Clay Matthews I will lose it. Hasn’t been living up to his cap number for years and they have a chance to get him off the books finally.
