On Monday, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that he wanted to add competition to every position, including the kicker position. Just two days later, Green Bay signed place kicker Jack Podlesny, per Sports Illustrated’s Bill Huber.
Podlesny signed a reserve/futures contract with the team, a minimum deal that allows him to be a member of the 90-man offseason roster. At the moment, Podlesny is the only other kicker besides 2023 rookie draft pick Anders Carlson who is under contract for 2024.
Podlesny was originally a walk-on player at Georgia, as he backed up Rodrigo Blankenship during his first two seasons with the program.
