Potentially relevant news for the Green Bay Packers down the road: The Las Vegas Raiders are releasing linebacker Cory Littleton, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.
Littleton, a coveted free agent in 2020, lasted only two years with the Raiders. But he’s still only 28 years old and could be an ideal backup option if the Packers can’t re-sign first-team All-Pro linebacker De’Vondre Campbell, who will be an unrestricted free agent in six days.
The connections here are obvious but important. Littleton played his final three seasons in Los Angeles under Packers defensive coordinator Joe Barry, who was the Rams linebackers coach from 2017-20.
