The Green Bay Packers have officially inked their entire 2024 draft class, with second-round cornerback Brandon Cisse being the final piece of the puzzle. Selected 52nd overall out of South Carolina, Cisse brings a blend of athleticism and ball-hawking skills to a secondary looking to make noise this season.
With Cisse's signature, the Packers have now secured all six of their draft picks—a milestone that sets the stage for a full rookie class to hit the practice field together. For a team known for developing young talent, having everyone under contract early is a win for chemistry and preparation.
But the roster moves didn't stop there. Green Bay also announced they've claimed wide receiver Brenden Rice off waivers, adding depth to a receiver room that's hungry for playmakers. To make room, the team released defensive lineman James Ester, a move that signals they're fine-tuning the roster as training camp approaches.
One wrinkle: tight end Luke Lachey, whom the Packers had placed a waiver claim on, failed his physical according to the NFL's transaction wire. It's a setback for a player who showed promise, but the Packers will move forward with their current tight end options.
For fans keeping score at home, the draft class is now complete, the waiver wire is active, and the Packers are shaping their squad for a competitive season. Whether you're rocking a Cisse jersey or just love seeing the rookies sign, it's a good day to be a Packers fan.
