The Green Bay Packers signed 12 players from their final 2024 practice squad to reserve/future deals on Monday following Sunday’s playoff defeat in Philadelphia.

The Packers signed the following players to reserve/future deals, which serve as placeholders until the start of the new league year in 2025 begins in March and keeps each player on the offseason 90-man roster:

DE Deslin Alexandre
S Omar Brown
DL James Ester
CB Kamal Hadden
K Alex Hale
G Marquis Hayes
WR Julian Hicks
OL Donovan Jennings
WR Cornelius Johnson
CB Kalen King
DL Jeremiah Martin
TE Messiah Swinson

Brown, Hadden and King were all elevated from the practice squad to the gameday roster at points during the regular season.

The only players not signed to a futures deal from the practice squad were running back Deshaun Fenwick, guard Michael Jordan, receiver Alex McGough and linebacker Michael Barrett. Running back Ellis Merriweather ended the season on the practice squad/injured reserve list.
