The Green Bay Packers announced on Monday that the team has signed safety Dallin Leavitt to the squad’s 90-man offseason roster. With veterans reporting to training camp tomorrow, this is the final roster move the Packers are expected to make before camp injuries.
Leavitt is a 27-year-old safety who spent four years with the Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders at the NFL level. He was released by the Raiders last week, who had previously held onto his rights throughout the offseason. Over his four seasons in the league, Leavitt played 369 defensive snaps to go along with 839 special teams snaps. Over the 2020-2021 seasons, he played 77 percent of the Raiders’ overall special teams snaps for Rich Bisaccia, Green Bay’s new special teams coordinator.
Safety is one of the more wide-open positions on the roster at the moment in terms of roster spots, with only starters Adrian Amos and Darnell Savage considered roster locks. Assuming the team keeps at least four at the position, that would mean that Leavitt, Shawn Davis, Vernon Scott, Innis Gaines, Tre Sterling and hybrid safety-linebacker Tariq Carpenter are fighting for two roster spots this summer.
