Packers quietly sneak in a 3-year extension before dropping their 53-man roster

Just when you thought Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce getting engaged would steal the headlines, the Green Bay Packers had other ideas.

No, not because of their 53-man roster reveal. Not because retaining Nazir Stackhouse on the roster maintains a 20-year streak of keeping at least one undrafted rookie. But because the Packers have put together one of the most bizarrely timed contract extensions in history.

According to his agent Paul Sheehy, long-snapper Matt Orzech has signed a three-year extension with the Packers.
