The Packers usually carry five safeties, one of which they lost this offseason when Zayne Anderson signed with the Miami Dolphins, but they also didn’t play cornerbacks very frequently on special teams, either. With the addition of cornerback Benjamin St-Juste, a special teams ace, it’s possible that Green Bay only keeps four — Xavier McKinney, Evan Williams, Javon Bullard and Kitan Oladapo — at the position in 2026. If they, for some reason, want to keep five, though, a player like Thomas could be a cheap way to push the likes of Jonathan Baldwin, Jaylin Simpson or Mark Perry for a roster spot.
Thomas was originally recruited to play for James Madison during the Curt Cignetti era, but he never ended up transferring up to Indiana like a lot of his former teammates did. Instead, he developed into a three-year starter and two-year all-conference safety with the Bulldogs.
