Packers Rookie Signal-Caller Not Finalized on the 53-Man Roster — Sends a Heartfelt Message to Green Bay Fans

Green Bay, WI — With the Tuesday deadline to trim to 53 players looming, Taylor Elgersma’s future remains in the balance. The Green Bay Packers have locked in Jordan Love as QB1 and Malik Willis as the primary backup, while the QB3 spot is an open race between Elgersma and Sean Clifford.

In the preseason finale against the Seahawks at Lambeau, Elgersma closed out a clean audition: 6/8, 33 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT (two sacks for 13 yards). Across three preseason weeks (per the publicly noted marks): 16/23, 166 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT — tidy numbers for a UDFA who entered camp on a tryout invite.

For the Packers, this isn’t just a box score decision. It’s about special-teams configuration, positional balance at the bottom of the depth chart, and lingering injury risk through September. With QB3, the staff must decide: keep him on the 53 now, or try to move him to the practice squad via waivers.

In the locker room, Elgersma chose to speak through attitude—humble but clear about his aim:

“THE PACKERS PICKED ME WHEN I HAD NOWHERE TO GO. WEARING GREEN AND GOLD IS ENOUGH FOR ME. WHATEVER COMES—53 OR PRACTICE SQUAD—I’LL BE IN GREEN BAY, WORKING AND READY. SEE YOU AT LAMBEAU.”

That message fits the Lambeau ethos: when the team gives you a chance, the rest is work. Whether the next step is making the 53, moving to the practice squad, or a late twist, Elgersma believes his value lies in discipline, mastering the playbook, and staying ready when his name is called.

The window is closing. Green Bay’s decision is due before 4:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday. And in a place where Green & Gold demands durability, the unsung hands often set the rhythm for the autumn ahead.

Packers Jordan Love Becomes Part-Owner of Milwaukee Brewers
The Green Bay Packers’ young franchise quarterback is making a bold statement off the football field. Jordan Love, the rising star who has taken over the reins in Titletown, has officially become a part-owner of the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers, established in 1970, have long been Wisconsin’s pride in Major League Baseball. With legends like Robin Yount, Paul Molitor, and more recently Christian Yelich, the team has carried Milwaukee through highs and lows, always backed by one of the most loyal fan bases in baseball. Jordan Love has now etched his name into that story. Since replacing Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay, Love has quickly developed into one of the NFL’s most promising quarterbacks. His presence in Wisconsin sports has already transformed the Packers’ outlook — and now his investment with the Brewers shows he is here to stay. “This is where I want my legacy to grow,” Love said. “Green Bay and Milwaukee have given me support, love, and belief. Joining the Brewers ownership is about giving back, about building Wisconsin sports into something even bigger for the entire nation.”   The move mirrors the new wave of athlete-owners across American sports. Patrick Mahomes owns a stake in the Kansas City Royals, while Jalen Hurts recently joined the Phillies’ ownership group. Now, Love adds his name to the list, showing that NFL quarterbacks can leave an impact far beyond football. For the Brewers, this is a timely moment. With playoff hopes alive in 2025 and a roster full of homegrown talent, having Jordan Love tied to the organization adds cultural weight. His popularity with Packers Nation will likely carry into Miller Park, bridging Wisconsin’s two most beloved teams. Fans have already taken to social media to celebrate the partnership. Packers fans see it as Love doubling down on his commitment to Wisconsin. Brewers fans see it as validation that their franchise remains attractive to rising stars who want to plant their roots in the state. Ultimately, Jordan Love’s decision isn’t just financial. It’s personal. It’s about building legacy in Wisconsin, ensuring that when people think about sports in the Midwest, they think Green Bay Packers and Milwaukee Brewers standing side by side. For Love, this is about more than winning games — it’s about building history.
