Packers Sign Safety Jermaine Whitehead

Ted Thompson isn't quite done assembling his 2016 squad.

According to the league's transaction wire, the Green Bay Packers have signed strong safety Jermaine Whitehead.

Whitehead spent most of his rookie season on the 49ers practice squad before being signed to the Ravens' 53 man roster last December.

An undrafted free agent out of Auburn, Whitehead is the 89th player on the Packers' 2016 offseason roster, one short of the 90 man limit. Presumably, that last spot is being held for the Packers first round pick, Kenny Clark, the only unsigned draft pick remaining from the Packers' 2016 draft class.
