Green Bay signs veteran Jonnu Smith to boost the offense, pairing his YAC-heavy game with Jordan Love and the Packers’ 12-personnel look; the move should expand Tucker Kraft’s potential while potentially reducing snaps for Jayden Reed, Josh Whyle and Drake Dabney as Smith takes on a prominent No. 2 tight end role.
The Giants, under John Harbaugh’s influence, are reshaping their roster with Ravens-aligned signings (Isaiah Likely at tight end, Patrick Ricard at fullback) and pivoting to a tighter, TE-heavy offense centered around 12-personnel. They re-signed key veterans, added corner Greg Newsome and inside linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, and upgraded specialists Jason Sanders (kicker) and Jordan Stout (punter), while Nabers recovers from injury and Slayton provides depth. The overhaul aims to boost offensive versatility and depth, with ongoing questions at WR and interior line.
Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza outlined an offense built around 12 personnel (two tight ends) and heavy play-action, arguing this fit helped Indiana average 41 points and should align with the Raiders’ personnel and coaching—potentially pairing with Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer—while Tom Brady’s Vegas ties add context, Mendoza is signaling the scheme he believes will unlock his game rather than pushing for any specific outcome.
