Former Vikings kicker Greg Joseph is signed by the Packers to challenge Anders Carlson.

(AP) — GREEN BAY, WI After playing for the Minnesota Vikings for the previous three seasons, veteran kicker Greg Joseph has signed with the Green Bay Packers.

Joseph’s signing was announced by the Packers on Thursday. With his arrival, kicker Anders Carlson will have competition. As a rookie last season, Carlson struggled with consistency.

The previous season, Joseph, 29, made 24 of 30 field goals; he was 3 of 6 from 40 to 49 yards and 4 of 7 from at least 50 yards. On attempts at extra points, he was 36 of 38.

Throughout his career, Joseph has converted 90.1% of his extra-point attempts (146 of 162 in 67 regular-season games) and 82.6% (100 of 121) of his field goal attempts. A career-long field goal of 61 yards is included in it.

Joseph

participated in two games with the Tennessee Titans in 2019 and 14 games with the Cleveland Browns in 2018. Since 2021, he has been the primary kicker for the Vikings.

He will now face off against Auburn’s Carlson, a fifth-round pick in the 2023 draft.

During the regular season, Carlson made 81.8% (27 of 33) of his field goals; however, he was just 4 of 8 from 40 to 49 yards and 3 of 5 from at least 50 yards. Additionally, he made 34 out of 39 extra-point tries.

Carlson failed to convert a 41-yard field goal in the Packers’ 24-21 NFC divisional playoff loss to San Francisco and an extra-point try in the team’s 48-32 wild-card playoff victory at Dallas.

Since the finish, the Packers have also signed kicker Jack Podlesny.

Wisconsin’s Green Bay (WFRV) The Packers and the city of Green Bay are unable to come to an agreement on a new lease.

According to information obtained by Local Five News, the city of Green Bay has decided to put a temporary stop to negotiations because the parties cannot agree on what the terms of a possible future lease should be.

There are nine more years left on the Packers’ existing lease. They’re attempting to extend the lease by 30 years, according to a team official.

Aaron Popkey, the public affairs director for the Packers, stated, “The Packers were disappointed to hear from the city that they had ceased negotiations.”

With the terms of the lease unclear, Popkey

stated that the organization has decided to scrap a $80 million project that was scheduled to be completed in time for the NFL draft in Green Bay the following year, at Lambeau Field.

Popkey expressed his disappointment that the team will not be able to hold the draft in their finest-looking arena.

Popkey stated, “You want to have certainty on your lease if you are going to make investments in your facilities and other things.”

One Green Bay alderman, Chris Wery, represents a portion of the neighborhoods surrounding Lambeau Field.

prolong the lease.

Wery expressed regret over the fact that much of what they’re doing is in Ashwaubenon and not even in Green Bay. “As a city, we’re attempting to motivate people to support our development in Green Bay. We have observed the work being done in Ashwaubenon, where a tax incremental financing (TIF) area has been established and beautifully developed. On the other end, we’re searching for something comparable.

Additionally, the following statement was given to Local 5 News by the mayor’s office:

“My administration and I will stay in close contact with the Packers over a variety of matters, such as the 2025 NFL Draft, and we are prepared to resume discussions regarding a lease as soon as the

The team’s offer really acknowledges City’s top priority. To be clear, both sides agreed to the lease that we currently have. Under that arrangement, the Packers have 18 years left, during which time they can upgrade their facilities as they see fit. Their desired terms are not a good bargain for our taxpayers since they would lower the amount of rent they owe the City of Green Bay.

Over the course of several months, the City held good faith meetings with the Packers to discuss revisiting the lease terms at their request. The formal plan did not take into account the fruitful negotiations that took place, even though the Packers indicated that they would be willing to accept the terms that the City had provided. The Council of Commons

We agree on our assessment of the terms that the Packers have proposed, and if the team has other ideas, they should present a proposal that is appropriate for our review and consistent with our discussions.

The Green Bay community gave birth to the Packers and has supported the team for more than a century. The Packers are always at the forefront of our citizens’ thoughts and feelings. We are still optimistic that together, we can create a future for Lambeau Field that will significantly benefit our employees, neighborhood organizations, and the city as a whole.

Eric Genrich, Mayor

Council President Jesse Brunette stated on his Facebook page that “there is more to this story than what

the Packers are sharing, and that the desire for a solution that all parties can be happy with is shared by the city of Green Bay (mayor and city council together).

According to city officials, they will have to make difficult choices on how to make up for the loss if they receive less money from the Packers as a result of their leasing deal.

The Packers claimed to have planned future projects costing over a billion dollars in addition to having invested millions of dollars in Lambeau and the surrounding communities throughout the years. They claimed that none of the projects they have finished or have planned to complete will require taxpayer funding.

Popkey mentioned the stadium lease agreement.

They suggested that the Packers are among the greatest teams in sports.

Popkey stated, “I believe the Packers are confident that we can continue to discuss and exchange ideas.” “But we must return to the table.”

Wery stated, “We’re stuck on these two extremes right now—one side wants less and the other wants more.” “Realizing that we are partners and will be so for a long time is something we both need to do.”

The Packers claimed they have submitted three offers for a new leasing deal to the city; they have not yet heard back from the city with a counter proposal.
