8/04/24	Bullard Looking 'Smooth' in Race for Starting Safety. In the intense battle to be one of the Green Bay Packers' starting safeties, has rookie Javon Bullard jumped into the lead? Only the coaches will know that answer after dissecting the film from Saturday's Family Night practice at Lambeau Field, but it was interesting that Bullard worked with the No. 1 defense on Thursday and again on Saturday. For the start of camp, the Packers had alternated Bullard, fellow rookie Evan Williams and second-year player Anthony Johnson as the sidekick to Xavier McKinney. Given a second consecutive day with the starters, Bullard appeared to make the most of it as one of the most impactful players for a defense that won the night.

7/24/24	Biggest Battle of Training Camp Becomes Obvious. The most hotly contested battle at Green Bay Packers training camp became clear in just two days. While there are important competitions at cornerback and kicker, the biggest of them all is finding a safety to pair with marquee free-agent addition Xavier McKinney. Throughout the offseason practices, the top pairing was McKinney and second-year player Anthony Johnson. When training camp opened on Monday, the duo was McKinney and second-round draft pick Javon Bullard. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/packers/biggest-battle-of-t...
7/22/24	One Big Change on Packers' Depth Chart. There was one big change on the Green Bay Packers' depth chart as training camp opened on Monday. After rolling with free-agent addition Xavier McKinney and second-year player Anthony Johnson as the starting safeties throughout the offseason practices, the Packers made a change with rookie second-round pick Javon Bullard supplanting Johnson with the No. 1 defense. “It's definitely important to me,” Bullard said after practice.

5/07/24	Before stepping on field, Packers' Xavier McKinney makes his mark off of it. “It's been so nice to have X,” said defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley on Monday. In just a matter of months, the Packers have rebuilt their safety position. Beyond signing McKinney in free agency, the team drafted Javon Bullard, Evan Williams, and Kitan Oladapo, who will join second-year players Anthony Johnson Jr and Benny Sapp III.

5/06/24	Packers announce roster moves. The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick). The transactions were announced Monday by General Manager Brian Gutekunst. Source: https://www.packers.com/news/packers-announce-rost...
3/18/24	Still plenty of work for Packers to do at safety position. The Green Bay Packers made a big free agency splash, landing safety Xavier McKinney. While the addition of McKinney goes a long way in solving the Packers need at safety and lays a strong foundation at that position, the job for GM Brian Gutekunst is not done yet. Along with McKinney, the only other safeties on the roster are Zayne Anderson, Benny Sapp, and Anthony Johnson. Source: https://packerswire.usatoday.com/2024/03/18/still-...
2/25/24	Re-sign or let go and prediction: Packers free agent S Jonathan Owens. A lot of work has to be done at the safety position this offseason, with only Benny Sapp, Zayne Anderson, and Anthony Johnson on the roster at the moment. The Packers need to raise the ceiling within this position group this season, especially with how important of a role the safety plays in Jeff Hafley's defense. Owens doesn't raise the ceiling at the position when compared to other free-agent moves the Packers could make, but he does raise the floor. When he was at his best, Owens was making plays at the line of scrimmage. Source: https://packerswire.usatoday.com/lists/re-sign-or-...
2/23/24	Will importance of safety position for Jeff Hafley lead to Packers spending in free agency?. The safety position from a pure roster depth standpoint is the biggest need that the Green Bay Packers have this offseason, and it feels increasingly more likely that they could take a swing in free agency at landing an impact player to a help address the need. “I think it's an important spot,” said new defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley on Thursday. Currently under contract on the roster at safety are Benny Sapp, Anthony Johnson, and Zayne Anderson. Darnell Savage, Rudy Ford and Jonathan Owens are all free agents.

2/02/24	'Solid' draft and free agency classes give Packers opportunity to add to safety. The safety position is the biggest roster need that the Green Bay Packers have this offseason, but general manager Brian Gutekunst believes the draft as well as free agency will provide them with the opportunity to add the players that they need. “Initially pretty solid at safety, as far as the draft class goes and then the free-agency class as well,” said Gutekunst on Thursday. The Packers aren't only in need of upgrades at the position but they also need depth. After taking a Band-Aid approach at the position last offseason, which included letting Darnell Savage play out his fifth-year option, along with signing Rudy Ford and Jonathan Owens to one-year deals, the only safeties under contract at the moment are Benny Sapp, Anthony Johnson, and Zayne Anderson.

1/26/24	Unpacking Future Packers: No. 93, Wake Forest DB Malik Mustapha. The Unpacking Future Packers Countdown is a countdown of 100 prospects who could be selected by the Green Bay Packers in the 2024 NFL draft. If the Green Bay Packers were to play a game tomorrow, they'd trot out Anthony Johnson Jr. and Benny Sapp as their starting safeties with no depth behind them. On top of that their starting nickel cornerback, Keisean Nixon is set to hit the open market. A player who could provide depth at both spots for the Packers is Malik Mustapha.
