The Green Bay Packers have signed linebacker Jared Bartlett, just one day after they brought in another linebacker — Michael Batton — in for a workout. Green Bay apparently wanted to bump the number up in that position group, which, before the Barlett signing, had seven players.
At the moment, the expectation is that Quay Walker, Edgerrin Cooper, Isaiah McDuffie, Isaiah Simmons and Ty’Ron Hopper will make the 53-man roster. From there, the Packers will have to make the decision on whether or not they’ll keep a sixth player at the position or expose Kristian Welch and Jamon Johnson to waivers.
