Packers to sign first-year WR Jadon Janke
Packers to sign first-year WR Jadon Janke The Green Bay Packers will sign first-year wide receiver Jadon Janke, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN. Janke (6-2, 205) went undrafted out of South Dakota State in 2024. He spent time with the Miami Dolphins and Houston Texans last summer. At South Dakota State, Janke caught 170 passes for 2,800 yards and 30 touchdowns across 67 games. His best season came in 2023 when he set career highs for catches (57), receiving yards (946) and touchdowns (10). Janke also returned 23 career kickoffs and 16 career punts. Last season, Janke played in two preseason games with the Texans and one with the Dolphins. He caught one pass for six yards while playing 39 total snaps. From Lance Zierlein's draft profile of Janke: "Productive multi-year starter with the size, toughness and talent to compete for a backup job as an NFL slot. Janke plays fast and uses gear shifts to make himself seem faster than his timed speed. He's unfazed when working into traffic, but small hands and short arms limit his contested-catch success. He's a tempo-driven route-runner with the balance and footwork to run a more expanded route tree that can span over all three levels, but he must rely on savvy over twitch to separate. He's elusive and willful with the ball in his hands, which could give him a leg up in becoming a 'make-it' prospect." The Packers signed veteran Mecole Hardman, drafted two wide receivers in Matthew Golden and Savion Williams and returned every contributor from last season at receiver, although Christian Watson is expected to miss time in 2025 while recovering from an ACL injury. Green Bay released Tulu Griffin, opening a roster spot. Unless there is a corresponding roster move, the Packers will have 12 receivers on the 90-man offseason roster when Janke is officially added.
