Packers add Tomlinson amid urgent offensive-line overhaul
Sports shows discuss Laken Tomlinson as one of 3 veteran offensive linemen Green Bay signed while trying to address major line problems.[1][2]
Greg Cosell and Ross Tucker said Tomlinson joined the Packers after being on the Cowboys practice squad, alongside Mekhi Becton and Kevin Zeitler.[3]
Tom Pelissero described Green Bay as poaching Tomlinson and adding players with extensive starting experience because the guard play was a problem.[1]
Pardon My Take and Ross Tucker’s podcast similarly framed the move as Green Bay finding more offensive-line bodies, while Even Money emphasized the unusual number of veteran additions in one week.[4][5][2]
