The Packers Acquire TE Michael Roberts On Waivers
The Packers were awarded TE Michael Roberts as a waiver claim on Monday. Since the Packers have the 12th-highest priority for waiver claims, eleven teams must have passed on Roberts.
The Detroit Lions traded Roberts to the New England Patriots on June 13 for a conditional 2020 seventh round draft pick, but the trade was rescinded "per the terms of the deal." It is widely assumed that Roberts failed his physical. A shoulder injury led to him being placed on IR after having played in just 8 games in 2018.
