This ensures that Kumerow will be back in Green Bay next season.

Kumerow, 28, originally signed on with the Bengals as an undrafted free agent out of Wisconsin-Whitewater back in 2015. He was on and off the team’s practice squad during his rookie season but returned to the Bengals on a future/reserve contract last January.

Kumerow eventually joined the Packers and returned to Green Bay on a futures contract in 2018. He returned to Green Bay last year on an exclusive rights deal. 

Kumerow will be a restricted free agent in 2020. 

In 2019, Kumerow caught 12 passes for 219 yards receiving and one touchdown.
