Packers’ Preseason Hero Rejects Blockbuster Offer From Tim Terry Moments After Colts Win — “It’s Always GreenBay”

Green Bay, WI — Minutes after the Packers’ 23–19 comeback over the Colts, Kansas City came calling. Chiefs VP of Player Personnel Tim Terry moved fast with a blockbuster contract proposal aimed at prying away the night’s star — rookie cornerback Tyron Herring, whose last-second, fourth-and-10 hit jarred the ball loose and sealed the victory for Green Bay.

League sources say the offer arrived “almost immediately” postgame, signaling Kansas City’s intent to capitalize on Herring’s momentum and add a clutch closer to its secondary. Instead, the answer from Lambeau Field was swift and unequivocal: no deal.

Herring didn’t leave room for interpretation.

“It’s Always GreenBay,” Herring said outside the locker room. “I grew up a Packers fan. Since my final season at Delaware, I knew where my heart wanted to be. No offer changes that — the green and gold chose me long before I chose it.”

The play that prompted the call was the sort that rewrites depth charts and careers. With the Colts threatening at the doorstep, Herring broke off his man, closed like a burst of green and gold lightning, and delivered a textbook strike that dislodged the ball from Jelani Woods. In a blink, a preseason drive became a defining defensive statement — and, apparently, a recruiting pitch from afar.

Inside the building, coaches praised the poise behind the pop. The staff has lauded Herring’s “finish mentality” all camp; Saturday simply put it on tape for everyone else. For a young roster leaning into speed, resilience, and situational toughness, the rookie’s moment looked less like a fluke and more like a blueprint.

Kansas City’s interest underscores Herring’s rising stock league-wide, but in Green Bay the takeaway was cultural as much as tactical: you don’t trade away the DNA you’re trying to replicate. Not after a night like that. Not after a quote like that.

For now, the hero of the Colts game is staying where he wants to be — and where the Packers believe he belongs. It’s Always GreenBay.

(Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Fuller, known affectionately as “Spidey,” had completed more than 5,000 jumps and trained U.S. military personnel in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused, and committed to lifting others higher — both in life and in the air.” Puni, whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller's , grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Dominick that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Dominick lives and plays today.” Puni, a rookie out of Kansas, has steadily earned the 49ers’ trust along the offensive line, praised for his physicality in the run game and poise in protection.
