Packers Sign CB Gregory Junior, Cut Kaleb Hayes

The Green Bay Packers signed cornerback Gregory Junior and released Kaleb Hayes as part of a roster move ahead of organized team activities. Junior, a 2022 sixth-round draft pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars, has appeared in 10 NFL games and spent time on the practice squads of the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts. He played primarily in the slot and has shown promise with solid special teams contributions and athleticism despite limited ball production at the college level. Meanwhile, the Packers' situation with star cornerback Jaire Alexander remains uncertain due to injuries and contract issues, with the team hoping for a resolution soon. Head coach Matt LaFleur acknowledged Alexander's struggles with injuries over the past years, impacting his performance. Junior's signing provides depth at the cornerback position as the Packers navigate roster adjustments.
