The son of Hall of Famer Jerry Rice gives Green Bay another developmental option in a crowded receiver room.
The Packers are taking another low-risk swing on upside, claiming wide receiver Brenden Rice off waivers a day after adding to the roster via the same route. Yes, if something feels familiar about the name, it's because he's Jerry Rice’s son, known around these parts as That Guy Who Fumbled.
A 2024 seventh-round pick for the Chargers, Rice brings size at 6-foot-3, 210 pounds, and gives Green Bay another developmental option in a crowded receiver room. Having bounced between five organizations in short order, he’s clearly still searching for footing in the NFL. But in the offseason, these are exactly the kinds of lottery tickets worth scratching.
To make room on the 90 man roster, the Packers have waived DL James Ester.
