Mark Redman is a tight end who the source hopes will see plenty of time in Week 1 to help the Packers' offensive line pick up the Vikings' aggressive blitz attack.PositiveRoleSep 9, 2026
Mark Redman is sharing the third-string tight end role with Josh Whyle on the depth chart; as a blocking tight end, his role is characterized as much more valuable than Whyle's potential backup role as a pass-catcher.NegativeRoleSep 8, 2026
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.PositiveRoleSep 2, 2026
Packers trade acquisition during cutdown weekend; the source characterizes the move as the Packers paying a small premium to secure exactly the player they wanted, indicating confidence in fit and role fit within the defensive line group that underwent significant transformation during training camp.NegativeRoleSep 1, 2026
Redman's ability to play special teams is a key X factor in the Packers' gameday roster construction; if he can contribute on special teams, he could displace Nick Niemann from off-ball linebacker duties, which would affect the final roster spot decision.NegativeDepth ChartSep 1, 2026
Mark Redman is a true Y inline tight end who is expected to be active on the gameday roster for Week 1; he may be able to help as a blocker on special teams, though he has not yet played in a regular-season game in his career.NegativeRoleSep 1, 2026
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.PositiveRoleAug 31, 2026
Mark Redman was acquired by the Packers on cutdown day as part of the team's effort to bolster the tight end room; the Packers kept four tight ends on the opening roster.PositiveRoleAug 30, 2026
Green Bay traded a seventh-round pick in 2028 to the Los Angeles Rams for Mark Redman, a blocking tight end who had a nice preseason, adding depth to the tight end room.PositiveRoleAug 30, 2026
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.
