Packers Trade For Johnson
Green Bay Packers Acquire Running Back Kaleb Johnson Prior To Deadline
Anonymous
The Green Bay Packers acquired running back Kaleb Johnson from the Pittsburgh Steelers ahead of the NFL's cutdown deadline. Yahoo Sports reports Johnson, a third-round pick in the 2025 draft who played in 10 games for Pittsburgh, moves to Green Bay to bolster the team's backfield.
A Third-Round Pick Gets Second Chance
Johnson was selected 83rd overall by the Steelers in 2025. As a second-year back, he saw limited action in Pittsburgh. The trade sends him to a new offense in Green Bay, where he'll compete for carries and get a fresh start.
Steelers Clear Roster Spot Ahead of Cutdown
The cutdown deadline forces NFL teams to trim rosters to 53 players. Pittsburgh's trade of Johnson frees up a roster slot and gives the Steelers a chance to reset their backfield depth chart. The move lets Pittsburgh focus resources elsewhere.
Packers Strengthen Running Back Room
Green Bay adds youth and depth at running back with Johnson's arrival. The acquisition happens late in training camp, giving Johnson limited time to learn the Packers' playbook before the regular season begins. The team hopes his athleticism translates quickly in his new system.
