Packers Sign Former Seahawks Defensive Lineman Cameron Young

The Green Bay Packers signed defensive tackle Cameron Young, a fourth-round pick by the Seattle Seahawks in 2023, to fill the roster spot opened by the release of cornerback Jaire Alexander. Young played 17 games over two seasons with Seattle but was limited to one game in 2024 due to a knee injury that kept him on the PUP list and injured reserve. At 6-foot-3 and 304 pounds, Young is seen as a potential nose tackle option and adds depth and competition to the Packers' defensive line, which lost TJ Slaton to free agency. Young's rookie season included 205 snaps and solid run defense, though he is not considered a strong pass rusher. The signing was confirmed on June 10, and Young will wear number 78 for the Packers. Head coach Matt LaFleur also noted that the team would practice on the third day of minicamp, a departure from previous seasons, with many players present except for those dealing with injuries.
