Packers Acquire DL Quinton Bohanna from Seahawks via Waivers
On Friday, the Green Bay Packers successfully acquired defensive tackle Quinton Bohanna from the Seattle Seahawks via waivers. This move comes as Bohanna seeks new opportunities after being waived by the Seahawks on December 4.
Player Background
Quinton Bohanna was originally selected in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys. During his tenure with the Seahawks, he participated in five games, contributing 32 defensive snaps. According to Pro Football Focus (PFF), Bohanna recorded one hurry, one run stop, and two total tackles, primarily playing as a nose tackle.
Roster Changes
The Packers had an available roster spot after placing defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt on injured reserve on the same day. Initially, it was anticipated that the team might fill this spot with players like Jayden Reed or Brenton Cox Jr. However, the organization targeted Bohanna to enhance their defensive line.
Physical and Roster Inclusion
Bohanna, who stands 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 355 pounds, must complete a physical examination with the Packers before officially joining the 53-man roster. If successful, he will augment a defensive line that includes expected starters Karl Brooks and Colby Wooden.
Experience and Career Stats
- Bohanna has played in 39 career games, starting 13 at various times.
- His most significant experience was with the Cowboys in the 2021 and 2022 seasons.
- He began the 2025 season on the Seahawks’ practice squad and was signed to the active roster on November 8 after an injury to Jarran Reed.
The Packers have recently added both Bohanna and former New York Giants defensive tackle Jordon Riley to their roster. This transition follows the loss of Wyatt to a season-ending ankle injury. With this new roster configuration, the Packers now feature three nose tackle players: Bohanna, Riley, and undrafted free agent Nazir Stackhouse.
Defensive Line Strategy
As the Packers approach the final five games of the 2025 season, rookie Warren Brinson is likely to serve as the primary backup behind Brooks, filling Wyatt’s previous role. In the meantime, Bohanna, Wooden, Riley, and Stackhouse will manage the nose tackle responsibilities.
