The Green Bay Packers claimed DL Spencer Waege (WAY-jee) off waivers from the San Francisco 49ers and placed OL Trente Jones (TREN-tay) on the reserve/retired list. General Manager Brian Gutekunst announced the transactions on Monday.
Waege (6-5, 295), a first-year player out of North Dakota State, was originally signed by the San Francisco 49ers as an undrafted free agent on May 12, 2023. He was released at the end of training camp, but signed to the 49ers' practice squad on Nov. 15, 2023, where he spent the rest of the season. In college, Waege was a three-year starter and a two-time All-American and All-Missouri Valley Football Conference defensive end. He will wear No. 64 for the Packers.
