Free agent tight end Jonnu Smith agreed to a one-year deal with the Packers earlier this week. Smith signed his deal on Saturday, and the Packers needed to make room.
In a corresponding move, the Packers waived defensive back Travion Fluellen, the team announced.
Fluellen signed with the Packers on Aug. 11.
Fluellen played collegiately at Houston Baptist for one season before transferring to Middle Tennessee State.
In three seasons at Middle Tennessee State, he played 36 games and recorded 197 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, one sack, five interceptions and 16 pass breakups. As a senior in 2023, he ended the season ranked third on the team with 64 tackles, including 2.5 stops for loss, a team-high three interceptions and three pass breakups.
Fluellen went undrafted in 2024, signing with the Saints as a college free agent.
Fluellen spent the final five weeks of the 2024 season on the Saints’ practice squad, but he did not appear in a game. The Saints signed him to a futures contract after the season.
New Orleans waived him in June 2025, and he was not signed elsewhere last year.
