Packers Sign Green Bay Native QB ‘Sensation’ with 12,000 Passing Yards and 110 TDs to Practice Squad Just One Day After Cardinals Release Him

Green Bay, WI – The Packers have made another bold quarterback move, reshaping their depth chart behind starter Jordan Love with a fresh addition. The signing comes just one day after Arizona cleared roster space, creating the perfect opening for Green Bay.

The timing was no accident. Following the release of Sean Clifford and Tyler Elgersma, the Packers were left thin at quarterback depth. Malik Willis remains the clear-cut QB2, but with his contract entering a critical year, the franchise chose to take a calculated swing on a new face.

That face belongs to Clayton Tune, a Green Bay native whose college résumé turned heads long before his NFL journey began. At the University of Houston, he amassed nearly 12,000 passing yards and 110 touchdowns, building the reputation of a quarterback comfortable stretching the field and leading an offense with confidence.

Drafted in the fifth round of 2023, Tune never found consistent opportunities in Arizona while stuck behind Kyler Murray and later veteran Jacoby Brissett. Green Bay, however, offers a clearer runway. With the long-term backup spot unsettled, his arrival is seen as both insurance and investment in the future.

At 26, Tune is not the typical developmental project. Coaches are intrigued by his strong arm, quick decision-making, and mobility, traits that give him a chance to rise beyond practice squad status if he impresses behind closed doors.

For the Packers, this isn’t just about filling space. It’s about securing upside and preparing for what comes next. And if Tune capitalizes on this chance, his return to Wisconsin could turn out to be one of the most impactful under-the-radar signings of the season.

Ravens Update Quarterback Depth Amid Controversies - Re-signed Pro Bowl Star to QB2
Baltimore, MD – October 7, 2025 Following Cooper Rush's disappointing performance in the humiliating 10-44 loss to the Houston Texans on Saturday (October 6), the Baltimore Ravens are facing intense debates about their quarterback room depth. With Lamar Jackson still nursing a hamstring injury and potentially missing the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams (scheduled for Week 6), the big question arises: Should Tyler Huntley – the former Ravens Pro Bowl star – get the starting nod over Rush? Huntley, 27 years old, was re-signed by the Ravens to the practice squad at the end of August 2025 and quickly elevated to QB2 for Week 5. He served as the Ravens' backup QB from 2020-2024, leading the team to the playoffs in 2022 and earning a Pro Bowl replacement spot thanks to his impressive performances filling in for Jackson. With experience in 9 starts (3-6 record), Huntley brings familiarity to the Ravens' offensive system, particularly his mobility and game-reading skills – something Rush seemed to lack in the Texans loss, where he completed only 18/34 passes with 1 TD and 2 INTs, resulting in the offense scoring just 10 points. The controversy exploded on social media, with the hashtag #RavensFlock divided. Many fans support Huntley: "Rush has proven he's not the solution. Huntley knows the system, knows how to win games – put him in!" (from account @RavensFanatic on X). Meanwhile, others defend Rush, arguing he needs time to adapt after transferring from the Dallas Cowboys: "Rush just started his first game for us. Don't rush to conclusions – he has playoff experience!" However, Rush's performance (only 189 passing yards, no big plays) has raised concerns about the depth chart, especially with Jackson possibly out for another 1-2 weeks. Head coach John Harbaugh hasn't commented directly, but in the post-Texans press conference, he hinted at a reevaluation: "We have multiple quality options at QB. Tyler is ready, and we'll choose the one best suited to win." ESPN insiders report that Huntley has been practicing fully and performing well, potentially being promoted to official QB2 if Jackson misses the Rams game – a crucial matchup for the Ravens (currently 1-4) to salvage their season. Signing Huntley – a Pro Bowl star – is seen as a smart move amid the controversies, boosting the Ravens' depth and flexibility. If Huntley gets "the nod" to start, it could be his chance to prove his value, just like his previous fill-ins for Jackson. Ravens fans are awaiting the decision – will "Snoop" (Huntley's nickname) return to save the team? Follow updates from baltimoreravens.com for more details. #RavensFlock #QBControversy
