Breaking news: The Green Bay Packers make a surprising move by signing a player from the Wisconsin Badgers.
December 31, 2023; Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA; Jordan Love (10), quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, leads the offense against the Minnesota Vikings during their match at U.S. Bank Stadium. The Packers’ activity extends beyond the draft’s conclusion, with undrafted free agents often making significant impacts. One such player in 2024 is Donovan Jennings, who secured a substantial contract with the Packers after going undrafted. Reporter Tom Silverstein confirms that the Packers are signing Donovan Jennings, an offensive tackle from South Florida, to an undrafted free agent contract, including a $10,000 signing bonus and $100,000 guaranteed.
With the departure of OT David Bakhtiari this offseason, the Packers are prioritizing their offensive line. In the 2024 NFL Draft, they selected three offensive linemen, with Jordan Morgan being their first-round pick. Bolstering the offensive line is crucial, especially with plans to sign a franchise quarterback to a record-breaking deal. Despite Jennings’ need for improvement, there’s optimism surrounding his potential contributions. He’s described as a college tackle with good size, exhibiting composure, nimble feet in pass protection, and strong hands for both run and pass blocking. However, his anchor against power rushers falls below average. Jennings may offer flexibility as a backup in multiple positions.
