Packers Legend 'Locker Room Leader' Signs One-Day Contract with Green Bay Packers Before Retirement

Green Bay, WI – May 29, 2025

The Green Bay Packers paid tribute to a franchise icon today, signing tight end Marcedes Lewis to a one-day contract to retire as a Packer, sources confirmed to ESPN. The ceremonial move honors a beloved “locker room leader” who left an indelible mark at Lambeau Field.

Lewis, now 41, played for the Packers from 2018 to 2021, following a distinguished tenure with the Jacksonville Jaguars (2006-2017). A 2010 Pro Bowl selection, he recorded 436 receptions, 5,113 yards, and 40 touchdowns over his 19-season NFL career, according to Pro-Football-Reference. Renowned for his exceptional blocking and leadership, Lewis mentored young Packers stars like Aaron Jones and Davante Adams, becoming a cornerstone during a transitional period for the franchise, as noted by Packers.com.

Lewis appeared in 141 games with Green Bay, solidifying his legacy as a reliable veteran presence. After departing in 2022 to join the Chicago Bears—a move that initially disappointed some Cheeseheads—Lewis continued to express his deep affection for Green Bay. His heartfelt connection to the team culminated in today’s symbolic signing at Lambeau Field.

Announcing his retirement on X, Lewis wrote, “It’s time to hang up the cleats—proud to finish where my heart is.” The one-day contract allows him to retire in the iconic green and gold, a cherished tradition for NFL legends.

The announcement sparked an outpouring of tributes on X. “Marcedes, a true Packer! Thank you!” one fan posted. Another tweeted, “Locker room leader forever,” capturing the gratitude for his off-field impact, especially during organized team activities (OTAs).

As the Packers, led by Jordan Love, Christian Watson, and TJ Watt, pursue a Super Bowl in 2025, Lewis’s return for this ceremonial moment adds emotional momentum. His veteran wisdom helped shape the culture that head coach Matt LaFleur continues to build, according to ESPN.

As Cheeseheads celebrate, Lewis’s legacy endures as a bridge between the Packers’ storied past and promising present. Fans can follow the Packers on X for updates on his retirement tribute and the team’s ongoing journey.

Eagles Legend Wants to Withdraw from Eagles Hall of Fame If Kevin Patullo Isn't Fired
Can you believe it? A living legend of the Philadelphia Eagles, LeSean McCoy, is "rebelling" and threatening to withdraw from the Eagles Hall of Fame – the place that honors his great contributions! The reason? All because of offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo! What's happening with this legendary team? Read now for the hottest NFL "drama"! On his Speakeasy show, McCoy "dropped a bomb" with a shocking statement: “Take me off. Nobody has ever asked. I’m going to say ‘Mr. Lurie, it’s either me or Kevin’. If Kevin is not fired, put 25 back out there on the street.” (Translation: "Remove me. No one has ever asked. I'm going to say 'Mr. Lurie, it's either me or Kevin'. If Kevin isn't fired, put number 25 back on the street.") Number 25 – McCoy's legendary jersey number – could be "kicked out" of the Hall of Fame if Patullo remains in position? This isn't a joke, but a direct challenge to team owner Jeffrey Lurie! This "extreme" demand stems from extreme disappointment with the disastrous performance of the Eagles' offense under Patullo. The team that once "soared high" is now "free-falling" with silly mistakes, and McCoy isn't the only one "furious." Even Josh Reynolds "cursed" Patullo: “Kevin Patullo should never see the light of day again for the crimes he’s committed…” (Translation: "Kevin Patullo should never see the light of day again for the crimes he’s committed...") Is Patullo the "culprit" causing the Eagles to "sink"? Look at the "tragedy" of quarterback Jalen Hurts: In the most recent Monday Night Football game, he threw three interceptions – one of which was blamed on AJ Brown! Comparing this year's offensive stats to last year? Worlds apart! The problem isn't just the weak offensive line, but also the play-caller – Patullo is "miserably compared" to Kellen Moore, who once elevated the offense to new heights. The article points out: The Eagles are repeating a "historical curse" – the offense always "collapses" after losing a good coordinator, like in previous Super Bowl runs. Nick Sirianni is heavily criticized for the decision to hire Patullo: "A fatal mistake"! 👀 Eagles legend LeSean McCoy says if #Eagles do not fire OC Kevin Patullo he wants out of Hall of Fame “Take me off. Nobody has ever asked. I’m going to say ‘Mr. Lurie, it’s either me or Kevin’. If Kevin is not fired, put 25 back out there on the street”📸 @speakeasytlkshw pic.twitter.com/DcOkLiQejA — Jeff Skversky (@JeffSkversky) December 10, 2025 And the "darkest" data: In shotgun formation (51 plays), the Eagles only achieved 4.2 yards/play, 2.2 yards/rush, 5.2 yards/pass, with 4 "stupid" interceptions. But under center (15 plays)? Explosive with 10.2 yards/play, 8.8 yards/rush, 16.0 yards/pass, and 0 interceptions! Clearly, the offense performs "miraculously" better when balanced – so why is Patullo still "stubbornly persisting" with the outdated play style? Eagles fans are "boiling with rage": Will the team listen to McCoy and "deal with" Patullo to save the season? This drama is "exploding" on social media! McCoy – with his illustrious career at the Eagles – is he really withdrawing from the Hall of Fame? Or is this a "ploy" to push for change? Who will Jeffrey Lurie choose: The legend or the "culprit"? Don't miss out – follow now to see the "shocking" outcome of the Eagles' internal war! What do you think, comment below!
