Traded from Los Angeles Rams at cutdown deadline to fill void at true Y tight end (Packers disappointed no value on board in draft due to run on position starting in round 2). Coached by Mike LaFleur (head coach Matt LaFleur's brother) when Mike was Rams offensive coordinator in Redman's 2025 rookie season. Looks the part of blocking tight end based on preseason film (did not play regular-season game in 2025); has more wiggle than John FitzPatrick who previously played this role.

Traded from Los Angeles Rams at cutdown deadline to fill the void at true Y tight end after the Packers were disappointed there wasn't value on the board at the position in the draft. Redman was coached by Matt LaFleur's brother Mike when Mike was the offensive coordinator with the Rams in Redman's rookie season of 2025. By all accounts, Redman looks the part of a blocking tight end based on preseason film; he has a little more wiggle than John FitzPatrick, who played this role for the team post-Marcedes Lewis.

The source conducted film review of Redman's three preseason games and identified his core strength: elite in-line blocking and gap movement on run plays, plus solid pass protection against edge defenders. His receiving game is limited—he operates mainly within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage on quick concepts and occasionally vertical routes, but lacks the athleticism (6'6", 263 lb, 4.95 40-time) to win consistently downfield. The Packers traded for him to fit a zone-oriented running game where his blocking prowess and limited but functional receiving role complement the offense without asking him to do things he cannot do.

NegativeRoleSep 1, 2026Acme Packing Company
Redman (6'6", 263 lb, 4.95 40-time, 24 years old) was acquired by the Packers as a blocking-first tight end with limited receiving upside. Film review shows elite in-line blocking and gap-moving ability on run plays, solid pass protection against edge defenders, but limited receiving skills—mainly operating within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage on quick game concepts and boot routes. His lack of speed will keep him in a limited role, though the Packers' zone-oriented run scheme and boot-heavy passing game can work to his strengths. The source does not project high production this season but views him as a functional addition whose blocking opens up play-calling.

NegativeRoleAug 30, 2026Yahoo Sports NFL
Redman was acquired by Green Bay as a reserve tight end prospect; he is 6'6", 263 pounds with a 4.95-second 40-yard dash and minimal college production, fitting the mold of a true Y in-line tight end. He will likely serve as a spot-saver for Luke Musgrave's role while Musgrave recovers from a neck injury and begins the season on the PUP list; Tucker Kraft is expected to be on a pitch count for roughly half the season following ACL recovery.

Redman was traded to the Packers as a spot-saver for Luke Musgrave's Y-tight end role; Musgrave will start the 2026 regular season on the PUP list after a neck injury. Redman's 6'6", 263-pound frame and 4.95-second 40-yard dash profile him as a true in-line tight end. In preseason, he caught 6 passes for 63 yards (21 yards per reception) in 3 games. Tucker Kraft, who would otherwise fill the role, is expected to be on a pitch count for about half the season after his ACL tear, creating opportunity for Redman to see early-season snaps.

NegativeDepth ChartAug 30, 2026Turf Show Times
Redman was traded from the Rams to the Packers on August 30, 2026, just 3.5 hours before roster cuts. The former Louisville undrafted free agent signed a two-year futures deal with LA valued at just under $2 million after spending 2025 on the practice squad. He caught 3 passes for 16 yards in three preseason games but lost out in the numbers game at a crowded tight end position; his value as a blocking 'Y' tight end was insufficient to secure a roster spot ahead of Colby Parkinson, Max Klare, Terrance Ferguson, and Tyler Higbee. The source notes he had a great camp but there was no room, making this a fringe roster trade that benefited both sides.

Traded from the Rams to the Packers on August 30, 2026, just 3.5 hours before roster cuts. Redman, an undrafted free agent from Louisville who spent 2025 on LA's practice squad, signed a two-year futures deal worth just under $2 million with the Rams this offseason. He was a limited pass-catcher in preseason (3 catches, 16 yards in three games) but provided value as a blocking 'Y' tight end. The trade cleared roster space in a crowded Rams tight end room where Colby Parkinson, Max Klare, Terrance Ferguson, and Tyler Higbee were ahead of him on the depth chart.
