Rams trade tight end Mark Redman to Packers before roster cuts

The Los Angeles Rams traded tight end Mark Redman to the Green Bay Packers on August 30, 2026. The move comes hours before the NFL deadline to set initial 53-man rosters. Redman, an undrafted free agent who spent the previous season on the Rams' practice squad, recorded three catches for 16 yards during the three-game preseason schedule. While valued for his blocking abilities as a "Y" tight end, Redman faced a crowded position group in Los Angeles. The trade allows the Rams to secure compensation for a player who likely would not have cleared waivers. The team continues to finalize its roster ahead of the Sunday afternoon deadline, with Colby Parkinson, Max Klare, Terrance Ferguson, and Tyler Higbee currently expected to remain at the position.
