When Packers GM Brian Gutekunst was asked about why he didn’t try to resign Lewis, <a href="https://twitter.com/by_JBH/status/1687525228510138368?s=20" rel="noopener">he gave a blunt reason</a> in response, reports SB Nation’s Jason Hirschhorn.</p><p>“He’s a really good player. … But at the same time, when guys need to play and need the snaps, if he’s out there, other guys aren’t.”</p><p><b><i>For the inside story on the 7 players banned from the NFL, listen below:</i></b></p><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><p>Reading between the lines, Brian Gutekunst is basically saying that the Packers have better tight ends than Marcedes Lewis in their eyes. Nevertheless, Lewis now joins Robert Tonyan as the second Packers tight end to leave Green Bay for their rival Bears this offseason.</p><p>Marcedes Lewis signing with the Bears comes after it was announced that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-yannick-ngakoue-signing-has-ryan-poles-feted-like-a-king-by-chicago-twitter" rel="noopener">Chicago signed Yannick Ngakoue</a> on Thursday. The Bears are clearly not resting on their laurels to close out NFL free agency, using their league high amount of cap space to bring in veteran talent for an exciting season ahead.</p><p>The Packers and Bears look to be in different spots now for the 2023 season. While the Bears season is the subject of more anticipation in quite some time in Chicago, most in Green Bay are preparing for either end of the success spectrum in 2023. If Jordan Love doesn’t turn out to be the guy for the job in Green Bay, then a rebuild will be coming for the Packers. Regardless, Marcedes Lewis will be turning his focus to the Bears after a solid stint with the Packers.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

During the second quarter of the game, Aaron Rodgers threw a pass to veteran tight end Marcedes Lewis in the endzone.</p><p>Lewis made a spectacular one-handed catch for what could have been a crucial touchdown to put Green Bay up 14-7 over the Cardinals. What would have been a highlight play for the year, was shown on the <a href="https://twitter.com/NFL/status/1453897897330704384">NFL’s Twitter account</a>, even though it didn’t count.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Marcedes Lewis almost had the TD catch of the year. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/GoPackGo?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">#GoPackGo</a></p><p>📺: <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/GBvsAZ?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">#GBvsAZ</a> on NFLN/FOX/PRIME VIDEO<br>📱: <a href="https://t.co/LjvhBMbwf9" target="_blank">https://t.co/LjvhBMbwf9</a> <a href="https://t.co/4b25gDVACY" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/4b25gDVACY</a></p><p>— NFL (@NFL) <a href="https://twitter.com/NFL/status/1453897897330704384?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">October 29, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>It’s not every day that an incomplete pass makes the highlight reel, but this one was special. Marcedes Lewis sticks the ball with one hand as he falls into the endzone. Unfortunately, he was only able to get one foot in, taking what could have been a phenomenal play for six off of the scoreboard.</p><p>In the end, the Packers were unable to score a touchdown against the Cardinals on that specific possession. Based on how well Arizona has played this year, a missed touchdown there could be detrimental for Green Bay at the end of this Thursday Night game. Especially since the Packers <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/packers-news-davante-adams-other-top-wide-receivers-out-vs-cardinals/">are without</a> Devante Adams in this matchup.</p><p>Instead, Aaron Rodgers will have to find other ways to put points on the board, as the Packers hope to give the Cardinals their first loss of the season. Too bad Marcedes Lewis couldn’t get two feet into the endzone, as it would have given Green Bay some nice breathing room heading into half-time.</p><p>We’ll see how this one plays out, as this Packers-Cardinals game <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cardinals-news-arizona-holds-high-hopes-for-deandre-hopkins-vs-packers/">could come down to the wire</a>. This is a huge NFC matchup between two of the top teams in the NFL. Everything is on the line for this one, as both the Packers and Cardinals aim to separate themselves from the rest of the pack.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
