Five Former Packers Still Jobless in 2025 Free Agency, Packers Could Sign Depth on the Cheap

Green Bay, WI – July 2, 2025

Five former Green Bay Packers remain unsigned in the 2025 free agency period, presenting a golden opportunity for the team to re-sign these veterans for depth at a low cost, sources indicate. With $6.8 million in cap space, the Packers could bolster their roster as they eye Super Bowl LX, according to ESPN reports.

Among the unsigned ex-Packers, AJ Dillon, a running back who played from 2020 to 2023, stands out as a viable option. Dillon, who missed the entire 2024 season due to a neck injury, recorded 2,428 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns on 597 carries over 60 games during his Packers tenure, per team records. His familiarity with the system and physical running style make him a low-risk depth addition behind Josh Jacobs, who led the team with 1,200 yards in 2024.

Another candidate is Eric Stokes, a cornerback drafted in 2021, who amassed 84 tackles and three interceptions in 29 games before being released in 2025. His speed and potential, despite injury setbacks, could provide affordable secondary depth, especially with Jaire Alexander’s departure to the Ravens.

T.J. Slaton, a defensive tackle who started 36 games from 2021-2024, offers run-stopping ability with 133 tackles, though his lack of pass-rush impact limits his market. His return could stabilize the interior line at a minimal cost.

Corey Ballentine, a defensive back with 42 tackles in 2023, brings special teams experience and could serve as a budget-friendly reserve. Lastly, Eric Wilson, a linebacker with 238 special teams snaps in 2023, remains a depth option for coverage units.

Packers fans on social media are vocal, with posts like “Bring AJ back for depth!” reflecting hope for a redemption arc. The team’s recent focus on youth, including rookies like MarShawn Lloyd, hasn’t fully addressed depth needs. GM Brian Gutekunst could leverage this situation to enhance flexibility.

As training camp nears on July 23, these re-signings could spark a playoff push. Can the Packers turn these unsigned veterans into a cost-effective boost for Super Bowl LX? Stay tuned to ESPN for updates.

Bills Cheerleader Sues Bills Player for Sexual Harassment After He Relentlessly Flirted With Her – Despite Being Married with a Child
BUFFALO, NY – December 11, 2025 A bombshell lawsuit has just been filed in Erie County Court that has all of Western New York talking. Ashley, the 24-year-old face of the Buffalo Jills and widely regarded as the squad’s most popular and recognizable cheerleader, has officially sued a current Buffalo Bills player for what her legal team calls “persistent and unwanted sexual harassment through aggressive flirting” – even though the player is married with a young child. Court documents obtained today name 27-year-old Shane Buechele – the Bills’ third-string QB who married his high-school sweetheart Reiley in 2022 and has a 2-year-old son – as the defendant. What the lawsuit alleges: Since the start of the 2025 season, Buechele allegedly began sending Ashley private Instagram messages after every home game, complimenting her looks and performances with increasingly suggestive language. Multiple late-night phone calls (some as late as 2-3 a.m.) in which Buechele allegedly complained about his lack of playing time, “just wanted to hear her voice,” and invited her for private coffee meet-ups. Unsolicited shirtless and suggestive photos sent directly to Ashley’s phone. Repeatedly showing up “by coincidence” at community and charity events Ashley was scheduled to attend, creating unwanted one-on-one encounters. In the filing, Ashley states: “I made it crystal clear on multiple occasions that I only wanted a professional relationship and was focused on my career. He completely ignored my boundaries. The middle-of-the-night calls left me terrified and suffering from severe insomnia. This has taken a serious toll on my mental health.” Immediate fallout: The Buffalo Bills have suspended Shane Buechele indefinitely without pay pending an internal investigation. Reiley Buechele has locked all of her social media accounts and has made no public statement. Ashley’s attorney says they will seek damages “well into seven figures” and hope the case sets a precedent for better protection of NFL cheerleaders league-wide. The NFL has confirmed it is monitoring the situation closely and may impose additional discipline. One Bills Mafia is completely split: #TeamAshley supporters are demanding Buechele be cut immediately: “Married with a kid and still doing this? Disgusting.” Others are calling it an overreaction: “Flirty DMs and compliments? This feels like a money grab or a PR stunt.” The case is still in its earliest stages, with an initial court appearance expected in early 2026. What do YOU think – is this legitimate workplace harassment, or is the cheerleader blowing things out of proportion?
