Son of Former Super Bowl Champion DT Was Let Go by Packers After Praising Eagles' Practices and Criticizing Green Bay – All Because He Once Wore Midnight Green

Once a highly-touted first-round pick for the Philadelphia Eagles, Jalen Reagor now finds himself unemployed in the summer of 2025 — and sources say it wasn’t poor performance that got him cut, but something much simpler: his own words.

After joining the Green Bay Packers’ practice squad late in the 2024 season, Reagor was seen by some as a low-risk reclamation project — a former first-rounder hoping to salvage his career after underwhelming stints with the Vikings and Patriots. But according to multiple team insiders, Reagor quickly alienated himself by constantly criticizing the Packers’ training approach and openly praising the way things were done back in Philadelphia.

“In Philly, every drill had a purpose. Here, I don’t even know what we’re working toward,” he reportedly told a group of teammates during a film session.

He also compared Green Bay’s environment to being “too soft, no fire,” and often spoke about the Eagles’ intensity as the gold standard. What may have started as innocent nostalgia quickly turned into a red flag for the coaching staff — especially coming from a player buried on the practice squad who hadn’t seen live action for the team.

By June 2025, the Packers quietly released Reagor without public comment. As of now, he remains a free agent, with no reported interest from any NFL team heading into training camp.

What makes this story even more ironic is that Reagor is the son of Montae Reagor — a respected former defensive tackle who won a Super Bowl with the Indianapolis Colts and built his career on discipline, humility, and quiet consistency. Jalen, in contrast, seems to have talked his way out of yet another opportunity.

Once drafted ahead of Justin Jefferson — who’s since become a superstar — Jalen Reagor is now a cautionary tale.

Sometimes, it’s not your hands that end your career.
It’s your mouth.
