First-Team All-American Cornerback Seasons Visits the Green Bay Packers just one day after the Titans granted his request for release — per source

Green Bay, Wisconsin — October 22, 2025 
Per team sources, Roger McCreary visited the Green Bay Packers’ facility on Wednesday, just one day after the Tennessee Titans officially granted his request for release. Procedurally, McCreary becomes eligible to sign with a new team after 4:00 PM ET on Wednesday, October 22. The visit marks an important step for both sides, as Green Bay continues to explore secondary reinforcements heading into a pivotal Week 8 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

According to team insiders, McCreary underwent a standard medical evaluation upon arrival in Green Bay before meeting with head coach Matt LaFleur and defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley. Discussions reportedly focused on his potential role and immediate integration into practice sessions later this week. The Packers plan to place him on the practice field within days of medical clearance, allowing the coaching staff to evaluate his conditioning and familiarity with Hafley’s hybrid press-zone coverage system. Early feedback from those in the building described the tone of the meeting as “focused and optimistic.”

McCreary, a 2022 second-round pick from Auburn, brings a strong collegiate and professional résumé. A former First-Team All-American and First-Team All-SEC selection, he was known in college for his elite man-coverage ability and fluid footwork against top-tier SEC receivers. Since entering the NFL, McCreary has appeared in 46 games for the Titans, recording four interceptions, 33 pass breakups, and over 180 tackles. His balance of physicality and discipline in coverage has drawn comparisons to some of the league’s premier boundary corners, and his reputation as one of the most technically sound young defenders continues to make him a valuable target for contending teams.

Contract discussions remain preliminary but ongoing. According to sources, both sides are reviewing potential structures for a one-year, incentive-based deal that would allow Green Bay flexibility while giving McCreary a chance to prove himself in a playoff-caliber environment. The framework is expected to include a modest base salary, performance escalators tied to snap counts, and postseason bonuses. Nothing is finalized yet, but both parties are said to be “comfortable” with the direction of the talks.

McCreary’s possible transition into Green Bay’s starting boundary cornerback role comes as the team reshuffles its secondary depth chart. After spending most of last season playing nickel for the Las Vegas Raiders, he has steadily refined his technique on the outside. His arrival could provide crucial depth following recent injuries and inconsistency at the position. As NFL insider Jeremy Fowler reported, “McCreary is a starting-caliber defender who no longer fits the long-term plan of a rebuilding Titans roster. His name surfaced during trade discussions when teams began trimming rosters. He’s a reliable perimeter corner who can play both inside and outside.” If a deal materializes, Green Bay may have quietly found a veteran answer to one of its most pressing defensive needs.

The Moment He Was Ruled Out for the Season, LaPorta Asked to Take a Pay Cut to Help the Lions Add Talent – And Detroit’s Response Left Everyone Speechless
Detroit, Michigan – November 22, 2025 Minutes after the Detroit Lions officially confirmed Sam LaPorta would miss the rest of the season with a back injury, the entire NFL was stunned when the Pro Bowl tight end voluntarily offered to take a pay cut so the team could free up money to acquire new talent for the most critical stretch of the year. An almost unheard-of gesture from a player forced off the field, yet one that perfectly embodies the spirit Detroit has always been proud of. LaPorta suffered the injury against the Eagles in Week 11 and was quickly placed on Injured Reserve. Initially the Lions hoped he could return by Week 15, but head coach Dan Campbell confirmed that chance is extremely low – essentially impossible. Losing LaPorta is a massive blow to Detroit because, from his rookie year onward, he has been the cornerstone of the offense and a vital piece in every single game plan. In this moment, LaPorta sent an emotional message that brought Detroit Nation to tears: “I can’t fight with the team on the field, but I still want to do something useful. If me sacrificing part of my salary can make the Lions stronger and give us a better chance, I’m ready. I love this place and I want to see Detroit keep moving forward because this entire city deserves to be proud.” Yet the front office’s response is what truly moved fans to their core. Instead of accepting his wish, they honored his spirit and made it clear they would never ask him to take less money. They emphasized that their only desire is for LaPorta to focus completely on recovery, come back at full strength, and continue being the heart of the offense for years to come. A genuine testament to real respect between player and organization. As the Lions prepare to enter a decisive stretch of games without one of their most reliable weapons, LaPorta’s selflessness has become a massive source of motivation inside the locker room. Even though he can’t be on the field, he’s still finding a way to fight – exactly like the tough, resilient, never-back-down nature of Detroit itself.
