The Green Bay Packers are no strangers to releasing veteran players. As it turns out, the 2025 off-season is no different. There is one starter who won’t be returning.
Breaking: Packers Shockingly Release Starter (Breaking)

According to Packers On SI, Green Bay will not re-sign starting center Josh Myers:
Myers was a second-round pick by the Packers in 2021. He was the first center selected, with Myers going off the board at No. 62 overall and the Chiefs taking Creed Humphrey at No. 63. While Humphrey was the first-team All-Pro center in 2024, Myers ranked 30th out of 32 starters, according to Pro Football Focus grading.
Still, Myers was a rock in the middle of the line. After missing most of his rookie season, he started all 17 games in 2022 and 2023 and 16 games in 2024.
“Josh, I thought he had his best year,” general manager Brian Gutekunst said at the end of the season. “I thought he dealt with some things during this year that were tough, and I thought he fought through it like a champion and, certainly, (is) an asset to our football team. I know Jordan trusts him very much as his center.
“He’s a UFA so we’ll see where all that goes. I can’t say enough good things about Josh Myers, not only as a player but as a leader. He really does embody kind of a Green Bay Packer and what we’re looking for and how they’re wired. I’m really glad we’ve had him for the last four years.”

During Myers’ absence, left guard Elgton Jenkins started at center against the Detroit Lions. After Myers couldn’t finish the playoff game against the Eagles, right guard Sean Rhyan played the last few snaps. In 2024, the Packers selected Jacob Monk with a fifth-round pick, but he did not participate in any offensive activities.
It will be interesting to see where the team turns at Center.
