Packers have claimed DL Spencer Waege off waivers from San Fran and waived DL Rodney Mathews.
Waege a DL from NDSU was a UDFA in 2023 and spent part of the season on San Frans PS
Mathews was just one of the eight UDFA signed by GB after the draft.

This is just another money-making scheme by the makers of memorabilia. Another helmet and mini-helmet, and a few pics they can sell that are autographed because of the helmet. Not only do I say pass on it, I think it's time that the fans stand up and say it's enough, and refuse to buy into any of this crap.

Throw back uniforms are something else, because it deals with a normal evolution of the team.

I can remember the first time I saw them play, their jerseys were kind of a dark green, but bluish color, nearing black, and their pants were somewhere between gold and tan, but not bright gold like today. The helmets were still the hard leather, with no face masks. The jerseys had a yellowish gold neck trim, and gold epaulets. Helmets were pretty much molded to the head, not cushioned.
