NFL schedule is officially released on May 14, but leaks and rumors continued to come out for the Packers and other teams.

The Green Bay Packers reached across the border for unconventional quarterback insurance on Monday, signing Taylor Elgersma, a Canadian prospect who only began playing football in 10th grade, after the undrafted 23-year-old participated in the team's rookie minicamp on a tryout basis.

The Green Bay Packers will open the 2025 NFL season at home against the Detroit Lions in a Sunday showdown, per Fox Sports’ Jordan Schultz. The game will kick off September 7th at 4:25 p.m.

ESPN's Rob Demovsky reported that Rhyan was two snaps away from playing in 35 percent of the Packers' offense snaps between 2022 and 2024. That's the mark, specified in the CBA, which would have earned him a performance escalator bonus of $2,042,429.

Since the Canadian college sports rebranded to U-Sports in 2016, no quarterback had signed an NFL contract. Elgersma, a big-bodied, big-armed passer, won the Hec Crighton Trophy (the Canadian equivalent of the Heisman) in 2024 and could finally make that happen.

The Bears will travel to Philadelphia to face the Eagles on Nov. 28 at 2 p.m. in the third year of Amazon Prime Video’s Black Friday slate, the NFL announced Monday. Then they’ll host the Packers on Dec.
