After Being “Betrayed” by Texans, Former 49ers Star – Key Piece of Super Bowl LIV Run – Makes Moves Experts Believe Are Him “Calling” the Packers


Green Bay, Wisconsin – Dec 5, 2025
tthe cornerstone who helped power the San Francisco 49ers’ run to Super Bowl LIV, has stunned the NFL world just hours after being unexpectedly released by the Houston Texans following only 10 games in the 2025 season. The move — widely viewed as unfair and poorly timed — has ignited new speculation, because from the moment Tomlinson walked out of Houston, he began signaling where he wants to go next: the Green Bay Packers.

Tomlinson — a veteran with over 170 NFL games and a reputation for extreme durability — still believes he can be a critical asset to a playoff contender. Being cut during the decisive stretch of the season has only intensified his resolve. In his earliest comments after the release, the former first-round pick spoke repeatedly about organizations with “the right values,” and the name he referenced most often was the Green Bay Packers.

In one statement that instantly grabbed national attention, Tomlinson praised Green Bay’s identity — from the franchise’s historic commitment to winning to the disciplined, detail-driven philosophy of head coach Kellen Moore.
“I’ve always admired how the Packers develop players and sustain success. Watching the culture Coach Moore is building, I see the kind of football any veteran would want to join — focused, unified, and built to compete for championships.”

Laken Tomlinson. Those words set Packers Nation on fire. Green Bay has battled injuries and inconsistency across the interior offensive line all season, leaving Jordan Love under more pressure than any contender would prefer. Tomlinson’s experience, playoff composure, and ability to stabilize an offensive front make him an immediate and intriguing match for a team in the thick of a playoff push.

No official contact between the two sides has been reported yet. But the timing, the specificity, and the public admiration Tomlinson directed toward Green Bay have experts convinced this is more than a casual compliment. A veteran free agent with Super Bowl experience, speaking openly about the Packers as an “ideal landing spot,” is exactly the type of signal front offices pay attention to in December.

With the NFC race tightening and Green Bay positioning itself for a potential division title, Laken Tomlinson may be the overlooked piece capable of elevating the Packers’ offense at the most crucial moment of the season.

And if the hints are real, the next major addition in Green Bay may be a familiar playoff-tested force — one who is openly calling for the chance to finish what he started.
