I’ve done some research and have found players who played for both the Packers and Cowboys.
Randall Cobb
Randall Cobb was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the second round of the 2011 NFL Draft out of the University of Kentucky. Cobb made an immediate impact as a rookie, with his debut performance marked by a 108-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, tying the NFL record.
During his time with the Packers, Cobb developed a rapport with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, particularly shining in the 2014 season when he recorded 91 receptions for 1,287 yards and 12 touchdowns, earning a Pro Bowl nod.
After the 2018 season, Cobb spent one year each with the Dallas Cowboys and the Houston Texans before returning back to Green Bay for his final two seasons.
Terry Glenn
Terry Glenn spent 12 years in the National Football League as a wide receiver. He played college football at Ohio State and was selected by the New England Patriots in the first round (seventh overall pick) of the 1996 NFL Draft.
In his rookie season with the Patriots, Glenn made a strong impression, recording 90 receptions for 1132 yards and six touchdowns. This performance helped the Patriots reach Super Bowl XXXI, although they were defeated by the Green Bay Packers.
Following his time with the Patriots, Glenn spent one season with the Green Bay Packers in 2002, before playing the remainder of his career with the Dallas Cowboys from 2003 to 2007. While with the Cowboys, he had two seasons with over 1000 receiving yards.

Martellus Bennett
Martellus Bennett is a former tight end, known for his unique combination of size, speed, and hands. He was selected in the second round of the 2008 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys, where he spent four seasons but never quite reached his potential as a top-tier tight end.
Bennett’s career took off when he joined the New York Giants in 2012, recording 55 receptions for 626 yards and five touchdowns in his single season with the team. He then moved to the Chicago Bears and in 2014 has 90 catches, 916 yards, and 6 touchdowns, earning his first and only Pro Bowl selection.
His career highlights also include winning Super Bowl LI with the New England Patriots during the 2016 season. After a brief stint with the Green Bay Packers in 2017, he returned to the Patriots but retired after the 2017 season.
Tavon Austin
Tavon Austin was a versatile football player who was drafted eighth overall by the St. Louis Rams in the 2013 NFL Draft following an excellent college football career at West Virginia where he was known for his speed and agility.
During his NFL career, he played primarily as a wide receiver but has also contributed significantly as a running back and a return specialist, showcasing his versatility. After playing for the Rams both in St. Louis and later in Los Angeles, he moved to the Dallas Cowboys for two seasons.
Following the Cowboys, he played briefly for the San Francisco 49ers in 2020, though he didn’t officially play a game for them due to being placed on the injured reserve list, and later joined the Green Bay Packers the same year. In 2021, he signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
