HC Matt LaFleur Remove Rookie from 53-man roster For Leaking Inside Information

Green Bay, WI – August 30, 2025

The air at Lambeau Field turned heavy just hours before the Packers announced their final 53. An empty locker. A name crossed off the EDGE rotation board. And a blunt message delivered to the room: Collin Oliver — out.

According to internal team sourcing, Collin Oliver, a fifth-round rookie, was removed from the roster for a serious breach of tactical confidentiality, specifically leaking elements tied to defensive communication on third down and certain pre-snap pressure signals. No one mentioned an injury. No one cited a personal matter. This was a story about loyalty — and about betrayal.

After practice, head coach Matt LaFleur didn’t hedge:

“We build our culture here on trust. When a player takes internal information outside this locker room, it’s not just a violation — it’s a betrayal. And once you betray…
you don’t deserve to wear the green and gold.”

Teammates stayed quiet publicly, but the atmosphere said enough. Position-group chats were locked. Small-group film sessions no longer included Oliver.

Defensive captain Rashan Gary, who is understood to have spoken directly with Oliver, kept it short:

“In Green Bay, these colors aren’t just a uniform — they’re a pledge. You can’t stand in the huddle with us if trust has cracked. Here, if you break brotherhood — you cut yourself off from the team.”

Personnel sources indicated the incident began with a private conversation Oliver believed was “harmless,” but it referenced call codes used within the Packers’ 3–4 hybrid packages — an unforgivable slip just days before the season.

By nightfall, Collin Oliver’s name was removed from the official roster. The door back isn’t closed, but the path is steep — and an apology won’t be enough.

“Here, to wear green and gold, you don’t just have to play well,” an assistant said. “You have to be loyal to it — even off the clock.”
