The Green Bay Packers are officially back to having a kicking competition. On Sunday, the team has reportedly signed free agent kicker Ramiz Ahmed to the team’s roster. The news was first revealed by Ahmed’s agent, Paul Sheehy of Pro Star Sports.
Ahmed’s only previous NFL experience was a brief tenure with the Chicago Bears in 2020. He signed with the Bears that April, brought in to compete with incumbent Eddy Pineiro. However, Ahmed was released midway through training camp and the Bears ended up acquiring Cairo Santos shortly before the season, and he has been their place-kicker ever since.
