Packers sign eight Practice Squad players to Futures contracts

Several players from this year's practice squad are going to remain in Green Bay throughout this offseason.

The Green Bay Packers' 2015 season is over, which means that the team will begin looking ahead to the 2016 season. Of course, general manager Ted Thompson has probably been doing little besides that for months now.

Still, 'tis the season for practice squad players and others who are not under contract for 2016 to begin signing contracts that will put them on the 90-man roster and keep them as Packers throughout the offseason. Reports out of Green Bay today indicate that at least two players have been signed to Futures contracts, and will be given plenty of opportunities to make next year's 53-man roster.
