Green Bay signed undrafted free agent Kyron Drones after losing Malik Willis in free agency, but GM Brian Gutekunst remains open to adding more quarterback depth. ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler notes the team considered LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier if he went undrafted, and could pursue other familiar names such as Anthony Richardson if a post-draft opportunity arises. The article also highlights that the Packers have Desmond Ridder as a viable immediate backup, along with developing prospects like Kyle McCord and Kyron Drones, and emphasizes the ongoing search for a reliable backup who can contribute when needed.
