The Green Bay Packers are gong to do whatever it takes to go from playoff contender to Super Bowl contender. After making the playoffs in back to back seasons, Green Bay knows the next step is competing for a championship.
Now, they’ve added someone with a lot of experience.
According to Green Bay’s official website:
The Green Bay Packers have signed LB Jared Bartlett and released S Kahzir Brown (kah-ZEER). The moves were announced Wednesday by General Manager Brian Gutekunst.
Bartlett (6-2, 238) was originally signed as an undrafted free agent by the New York Jets on May 9, 2025. In college, he played at West Virginia University (2019-23) and the University of Cincinnati (2024).
Overall, Bartlett played in 61 games, recording 204 tackles (107 solo), 21½ sacks, 32½ tackles for a loss, five passes defensed, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. In his final college season, he earned All-Big 12 honorable mention from the league’s coaches and second-team All-Big 12 honors from Phil Steele’s College Football after posting career highs in tackles (69), solo tackles (34), tackles for a loss (11½), sacks (7½) and passes defensed (three).
Bartlett will wear No. 51 for the Packers.
Here is a look at Bartlett’s college stats:
