Inks deal with Packers

Wellman agreed to a reserve/futures contract with Green Bay on Monday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Wellman logged a workout with the Packers on Thursday, and as evidenced by this news, made a good enough impression to start next season on the 90-man roster. The undrafted free agent out of West Virginia spent time with the Redskins this past offseason before he was cut at the start of training camp.

The Packers do not have a running back need at the moment, but he could potentially make enough of an impression to earn a spot on the practice squad.
