SOURCE: Packers Release Two Rookies for Unprofessional Conduct and Not Fitting Team Culture

The Green Bay Packers have officially released two rookie players following internal reviews that cited unprofessional conduct and a failure to align with team culture, according to sources close to the organization.

The names of the released players have not been publicly disclosed as of press time, but insiders say the decision came after multiple warnings and growing concerns over locker room behavior, effort in meetings, and lack of accountability during training camp.

“This wasn’t about talent. It was about trust and standards,” one team source said.
“The Packers have a culture — and these two didn’t respect it.”

While the NFL offseason often includes roster churn, this move stands out due to the firm tone behind the reasoning. Green Bay, known for developing young talent and building from within, rarely cuts ties with rookies so early unless deeper issues are involved.

Reports indicate that the behavior in question included repeated tardiness, lack of focus during walkthroughs, and poor responses to coaching. Veteran leaders reportedly raised concerns privately before the coaching staff and front office made the call.

Head coach Matt LaFleur has emphasized team culture, mental discipline, and locker room chemistry throughout training camp, and this move reinforces that message loud and clear.

“The standard is the standard,” said one veteran player.
“You’re either all-in or you’re gone.”

 

The Packers are expected to fill the vacated roster spots with players from the undrafted free agent pool or waiver wire in the coming days.
