Former Carolina Panthers defensive back David Long is now a Green Bay Packer after being claimed off waivers. Ian Rapoport reported the news, highlighting the team’s concern about cornerback depth. Long, a third-round pick by the Rams in 2019, played four seasons in L.A., later joining the Raiders on a one-year deal. However, the Panthers released him after three games. With injuries to Jaire Alexander and Eric Stokes, the Packers aim to bolster their cornerback lineup, relying on rookies Carrington Valentine and Corey Ballentine. The team’s safety situation is steadier with Darnell Savage’s return, lessening the need for Adrian Amos, who recently became a free agent after parting ways with the Jets. Amos, a former Packers team captain, seeks to join a playoff contender, and the Packers remain a potential destination.
