The Packers have signed free agent defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson and also acquired quarterback DeShone Kizer.
The team announced the moves a day after the opening of free agency.
Kizer was acquired in a trade with the Browns for cornerback Damarious Randall with drafts picks also involved.
Kizer is expected to serve as the backup to Aaron Rodgers. Kizer was selected by the Browns in the second round of the 2017 draft. He led the NFL with 22 interceptions [url=http://www.officialhockeyjetsshop.com/authentic-adidas-josh-morrissey-jersey]Josh Morrissey Jersey[/url] , went 0-15 and went through numerous growing pains as a rookie starter.
Wilkerson was selected by the Jets in the first round of the 2011 draft. In seven seasons, he played in 105 regular-season games and had 498 tackles (324 solo), 44陆 sacks, two interceptions [url=http://www.officialflames.com/authentic-adidas-mike-smith-jersey]Mike Smith Jersey[/url] , 10 forced fumbles and a fumble recovery that he returned for a touchdown. In 2015, he earned a spot in the Pro Bowl after getting a career-best 12 sacks.
The Packers also signed cornerback Herb Waters. He was signed by Green Bay as an undrafted rookie out of Miami (Fla.) on May 6, 2016.
When the Ravens drafted quarterback Lamar Jackson, it meant backup quarterback Robert Griffin III has a steeper path ahead of him to make the roster. But Griffin isn’t really competing with Jackson for a roster spot: Jackson’s spot behind Joe Flacco is assured [url=http://www.officialkings.com/authentic-adidas-jonathan-quick-jersey]Jonathan Quick Jersey[/url] , and the only real question is whether the Ravens keep Griffin as a third quarterback. So Griffin doesn’t see Jackson as competition.
Instead, Griffin sees Jackson as a talented young player not unlike himself six years ago, and as a player who could use some guidance from someone who’s been there.
鈥淚鈥檓 trying to help nurture him as much as I possibly can,鈥?Griffin told SI.com [url=http://www.officialbruinsproonline.com/authentic-adidas-rick-nash-jersey]Rick Nash Jersey[/url] , 鈥渟o that when he flies away, he is ready to fly away. Because when you watch it fly away, at that point it鈥檚 up to that bird.鈥?/p>
Griffin was the 2012 rookie of the year but hasn’t been the same player since a knee injury in the playoffs after that rookie season. He hopes he can help teach Jackson to have lasting success.
鈥淚 try to take that and look at it in a positive way to try to help Lamar navigate a lot of the things that I had to navigate on my own,鈥?Griffin said. 鈥淚 feel like he really trusts me and believes what I鈥檓 telling him and I think that鈥檚 made him a better player already in a short amount of time.鈥?/p>
The Ravens would love to see Jackson play the way Griffin did before his knee injury — as long as Jackson’s success lasts longer.
