Packers Sign Veteran Guard Laken Tomlinson to Address Offensive Line Crisis

The Green Bay Packers have signed veteran offensive lineman Laken Tomlinson from the Dallas Cowboys practice squad to address severe struggles on their offensive line. Tomlinson, a former first-round pick and 2021 Pro Bowler, joins Green Bay's active roster after the team suffered a 35-14 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, where their line allowed 12 quarterback hits and managed only 17 rushing yards. This move aims to stabilize pass protection and run blocking for quarterback Jordan Love, who has faced 34 hits in three games, as the team prepares for a Week 4 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Jets Release Veteran Guard Laken Tomlinson, Clearing $8 Million in Cap Space

The New York Jets have begun rebuilding their offensive line by releasing left guard Laken Tomlinson, who was set to count $18.9 million on the 2024 salary cap. This move will save the Jets about $8.1 million this year but leaves them with $10.7 million in dead money for 2024. With several key linemen heading to free agency, the team is looking to overhaul the line, with only two players currently under contract with significant starting experience. Tomlinson, who struggled with consistency and allowed 9.5 sacks in 2023, was released after two seasons with the Jets, despite his durability and 114 straight starts.

"49ers Should Pursue Laken Tomlinson After Jets Release"
