Packers: Team adds 13 undrafted free agents, cut Babb, Bell and Dougherty

GREEN BAY -- While a number of other teams have announced their list of undrafted free-agent signees, the Packers have yet to do so and tend to wait until all contracts are finalized, which usually isn't until just before the annual post-draft rookie orientation camp opens.

In the meantime, here's a look at the players who've agreed to terms with the club, based on various sources (agents, NFL scouts, other media outlets, players' schools):


Mississippi College WR Jake Allen

Portland State C Brennen Carvalho

Wisconsin P Ken DeBauche

Nebraska S Tierre Green

Murray State WR Rod Harper

Maryland TE Joey Haynos

Notre Dame LS J.J. Jansen

Connecticut LB Danny Lansanah

Georgia RB Kregg Lumpkin

North Carolina LB Durell Mapp

Northwest Missouri State TE Mike Peterson

Fresno State LB Marcus Riley

Syracuse, WR Taj Smith

UW-Whitewater running back Justin Beaver, as reported Sunday night, will be one of a large number of players participating on a tryout basis. Without any veterans at this weekend's rookie orientation camp, it makes sense that the Packers are bringing in so many tryout players to practice with.

Meanwhile, having added two quarterbacks in the draft -- second-rounder Brian Brohm and seventh-rounder Matt Flynn -- the Packers have released Jerry Babb and Dalton Bell, who'd been participating in the team's quarterback school along with starter Aaron Rodgers. Presumably, the Packers made the move to allow Brohm and Flynn to get more work this weekend.

The Packers also released punter Ryan Dougherty, who was with them in camp briefly last year, after signing DeBauche.
