Ex Packers Rookie Forced to Trade to Titans to Cover Brother's Medical Expenses, Heart Still in Packers

Nashville, October 5, 2025

Brant Banks, a rookie offensive tackle, faced a heart-wrenching departure from the Green Bay Packers after being waived post their 40-40 tie against the Dallas Cowboys. Days later, the Tennessee Titans claimed the 25-year-old undrafted talent off waivers, offering him a new contract and a chance to debut against the Arizona Cardinals.

Banks’ move to the 0-4 Titans was driven by urgent family needs. His brother, battling a serious illness in a hospital back home in Houston, requires costly treatment. Despite his deep ties to Green Bay, where he played six special teams snaps, Banks signed with Tennessee to secure funds for his sibling’s care.

“I never thought this day would come,” Banks shared, his voice heavy with emotion. “The Packers are where my dream began, a place I’ve always considered my second family. But right now, my own family needs me more than ever. My brother is fighting every single day, and I have to do whatever it takes to help him. The Titans have given me this opportunity, and I’m grateful for that. But in my heart, the green and gold of the Packers will always remain.”

The Packers (3-1), grappling with injuries to Aaron Banks and Zach Tom, cut Banks amid offensive line struggles. Tennessee, desperate for linemen, sees him as a developmental asset under their esteemed o-line coach, offering a fresh start.

As Banks prepares for his Titans debut, his loyalty to Green Bay endures. His sacrifice for family underscores the human side of the NFL, leaving Packers Nation hopeful he’ll one day return to Lambeau.
