Packers acquire TE Redman from Rams

11 sourcesUpdated Aug 30, 2026

The Green Bay Packers traded for tight end Mark Redman from the Los Angeles Rams, sending a 2028 seventh-round pick. Redman, an undrafted Louisville product in 2025, appeared on the Rams’ practice squad last season and posted six receptions for 63 yards in the 2026 preseason. He joins a Packers tight end group that includes starter Tucker Kraft, Luke Musgrave (currently on the PUP list with a neck injury), and newly added Jonnu Smith, with the team seeking a blocker-focused depth role. The Rams had a crowded TE room with several established players and young picks, making Redman expendable. Packers executives appear to value immediate depth and competition at tight end to support their passing game in 2026. The deal reflects Green Bay prioritizing youth, upside, and depth at tight end ahead of the regular season.
