Packers add RB depth, trade for Kaleb Johnson as Jacobs insurance

Green Bay acquired Kaleb Johnson from Pittsburgh for a 2028 sixth-round pick to bolster depth behind a potentially unavailable Josh Jacobs, who is on the commissioner's exempt list. Johnson, a 2025 third-round pick from Iowa, brings upside but limited pro production. The trade earned Green Bay a B+ grade and Pittsburgh a C, reflecting a smart low-cost add for the Packers and a practical salvage of value for the Steelers amid a coaching change.
