The Green Bay Packers have signed 34-year-old Pro Bowl left guard Laken Tomlinson on Saturday, according to reports. Tomlinson is expected to fill in for starting right guard Aaron Banks if Banks continues to miss games. Right guard Jacob Monk has struggled, and some believe he should focus on the center position. The Packers have also agreed to terms with former Jets offensive tackle Mekhi Becton, who will be signing with them following their workout on Monday.
Becton, a first-round pick, played as an offensive tackle before moving to right guard with the Eagles in 2024. He helped Saquon Barkley rush for 2,005 yards and 499 yards in the playoffs, but his time in Los Angeles was not successful. Becton signed a two-year, $20 million contract with the Chargers in March 2025, but he struggled with attendance issues, not fitting into Greg Roman's scheme, injuries, and frustration with the coaching staff. He was released by the Chargers in March and remained unsigned until signing with the Packers.
