Rochell signed a one-year deal with the Chiefs in free agency but was released in May following Kansas City\u2019s selection of cornerback Nohl Williams in the third round of the 2025 draft.<\/p>\n<p id=\"dgaeUS\">Rochell was a player who could have potentially played a role on the Packers\u2019 2025 roster, as they are in desperate need of depth at the position. Cornerbacks Rochell and Corey Ballentine, two players who played more special-teams snaps than kicker Brandon McManus last year, left Green Bay in free agency this year. On top of that, Eric Stokes signed with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.silverandblackpride.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Las Vegas Raiders<\/a>, and cornerback Jaire Alexander was released.<\/p>\n<p id=\"j1REvb\">As far as proven NFL bodies go, the trio of Keisean Nixon, Nate Hobbs and Carrington Valentine highlight the Packers\u2019 cornerback room. After that, though, the most proven player on the bench is probably Gregory Junior, who was signed by the team in May and is on his fourth NFL team in four years. Junior played 93 defensive snaps and 106 special teams snaps for the 2023 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bigcatcountry.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a>, but spent all of 2024 on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampedeblue.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Indianapolis Colts<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.battleredblog.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Houston Texans<\/a>\u2019 practice squads.<\/p>\n<p id=\"F8F1NV\">Unfortunately, there won\u2019t be a reunion here between Rochell and the Packers. You can go ahead and scratch Rasul Douglas off the list, too. The cornerback, who Green Bay traded to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buffalorumblings.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Buffalo Bills<\/a> in 2023, replied, \u201cDon\u2019t think that will happen buddy,\u201d to a tweet asking him to return to the Packers. Later on in the thread, he stated, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RasulEra\/status\/1935434629701583005\" rel=\"nofollow\">They got Bo Melton<\/a>,\u201d the receiver <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acmepackingcompany.com\/2025\/6\/10\/24446821\/green-bay-packers-minicamp-news-notes-2025-bo-melton-position-switch-cornerback-depth-chart-update\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">who is converting to defensive back this offseason<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Green Bay Packers cornerback Robert Rochell, who previously signed with the Kansas City Chiefs this offseason, signed&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":143424,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2072],"tags":[620,7184,622,3334,230,229,7,2795,29,41,345,2702,2514,2513,6,428,621,2798,717],"class_list":{"0":"post-143423","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-green-bay-packers","8":"tag-acme","9":"tag-around-the-nfl-news","10":"tag-company","11":"tag-cornerback","12":"tag-cowboys","13":"tag-dallas","14":"tag-football","15":"tag-former","16":"tag-front-page","17":"tag-green-bay","18":"tag-green-bay-packers","19":"tag-green-bay-packers-news","20":"tag-greenbay","21":"tag-greenbaypackers","22":"tag-nfl","23":"tag-packers","24":"tag-packing","25":"tag-signs","26":"tag-with"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114712557968560974","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143423","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=143423"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143423\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/143424"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=143423"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=143423"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=143423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
