Update:
Aaron Wilson reports the Packers are signing QB Alex McGough following a successful workout.
According to Aaron Wilson, the Packers are working out QB Alex McGough today as they prepare for training camp next week.
McGough spent this past spring season in the USFL with the Birmingham Stallions. He’s bounced around as a practice squad player for a few different NFL teams.
Green Bay currently has three quarterbacks on the roster.
McGough, 27, was selected by the Seahawks in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL draft. He signed a four-year, $2,563,692 with Seattle but wound up being among their final roster cuts coming out of the preseason.
From there, McGough signed a futures contract with the Jaguars but was waived coming out of the preseason. He later signed on to the Texans’ practice squad soon after.
Houston once again waived McGough coming out of camp in 2020 and he was later added to their practice squad and eventually released. He returned to Seattle’s practice squad late in the 2020 season and signed a futures deal for 2021, but was cut in August.
McGough signed on with the Birmingham Stallions in the USFL and spent two seasons in the league. Birmingham won the league both years and McGough was named MVP in 2023.
In 2023, McGough appeared in 10 games for the Stallions and completed 67.4 percent of his pass attempts for 2,105 yards, 20 touchdowns and five interceptions. He added 70 carries for 405 yards and five touchdowns.
