It’s probably safe to assume we won’t see Tramon Williams return many kicks this year"A new special teams coordinator means open competition at many spot and that includes the Green Bay Packers’ ongoing search for a kick returner. The Packers haven’t had a consistent kickoff returner in years Marquez Valdes-Scantling Jersey , even under the old regime that included fired special teams coordinators Shawn Slocum and Ron Zook. New coordinator Shawn Mennenga will seem to finally stabilize the position and it looks like general manager Brian Gutekunst will give him every opportunity to do so.Consider the competition open. The Packers still have punt returner Trevor Davis but he hasn’t shown much as far as kickoffs. Cornerback Tramon Williams returner the majority of kickoffs last season, but Green Bay would prefer someone other than a 36-year old cornerback.As far as new talent, first round pick Darnell Savage did some kick returning at Maryland while newly claimed wide receiver Jawill Davis has experience on kickoffs from his time with the New York Giants. Green Bay also liked what they saw from undrafted free agent Darrius Shepherd who they signed after a rookie tryout. It’s anyone’s guess who the Packers will have receive the first kickoff against the Chicago Bears in September but at least there will be plenty of options with the potential of more to come later.You can read more on the returner competition plus a kicker trade happens in the NFC North in today’s cheese curds.Former Giants WR Jawill Davis to compete for kick-return role—PackersNews.comDavis was clearly brought in for his return prowess more than his pass catching ability, although upgrading from Eli Manning to Aaron Rodgers as his quarterback could perhaps unlock some hidden potential.

Raiders, to be named coach and GM of L.A.’s XFL team—Los Angeles TimesThe press conferences should be interesting and we’re guessing Aaron Rodgers won’t be in attendance at many games for the team led by the disgruntled former Packers assistant. In December, the NFL announced the five home teams for the league’s 2019 International Series games, and in doing so they left open the door for the Green Bay Packers to make a road trip across the pond to the UK. At that time Josh Jones Jersey , however, reports indicated that the Packers were unlikely to be one of the visiting teams in those games.On Monday, the NFL confirmed that report, announcing the matchups for next year’s games Montravius Adams Jersey , which consist of one contest in Mexico and four in the UK. Interestingly, the Chargers will host the Mexico game, rather than going across the Atlantic to the UK. That may help explain why the Packers are not the matchup for their international contest.After 2019, the Packers will officially be the only NFL team that has not appeared in a game in the UK. Three teams have not played there yet Jamaal Williams Jersey , but the other two — the Houston Texans and Carolina Panthers — get to play divisional games there in the fall.
