Packers Sign Kristian Welch with Veteran Salary Benefit

The Green Bay Packers have signed linebacker Kristian Welch using the veteran salary benefit. The deal allows the Packers to pay Welch a competitive salary without it counting fully against the team's salary cap. Like other recent depth signings, Welch will need to prove his worth during the offseason to secure a spot on the final 53-man roster for the 2026 season.
