In a deleted scene, it was revealed that he promised Michael he would play in the game but later backed out of it.
==Season 2==
Packer's license plate is WLHUNG. It's a play on the phrase "Well Hung", however it is often misunderstood as a reference to William Hung. Packer has no idea who William Hung is and wonders why people always ask him if he's a William Hung fan.

==Season 3==
Michael tells a story of a convention in Hartford at which he and Packer met a girl in a bar. Packer makes out with her, only to discover that her boyfriend is a bouncer at the bar. The bouncer chases them, and Packer manages to get away, leaving Michael behind to get beat up. 
After returning from a vacation with Jan Levinson in Jamaica, Michael calls Packer in Atlanta to brag about it. Packer doesn't believe him, so Michael attempts to email Packer a photo of Michael with Jan sunbathing topless at the resort. Unfortunately, Michael clicks on the wrong email address and instead of sending it to packer@dundermifflin.com, he sends it to packaging@dundermifflin.com, which leads to the photo being forwarded to staff and acquaintances all over the company. 
It is Packer's idea for Michael to get a stripper for Bob Vance's bachelor party. Upon Michael's objections, based on sexual harassment grounds, he recommends that he hire a stripper for Phyllis' wedding shower as well.

After Michael gives Holly a glowing recommendation, Packer gets a full-time job in the Scranton branch, much to the dismay of the other employees. However, after Packer mocks Kevin's weight and insults his own daughter, Holly soon realizes that Packer has a horrible personality. Fed up with Packer's presence in the office, Jim and Dwight prank Packer into leaving Dunder Mifflin and transferring to Sabre's corporate headquarters in Tallahassee. When Michael discovers this, he intends to tell Packer and apologize on Jim and Dwight's behalf. However, Packer openly insults Holly and tries to tempt Michael into cheating on her. Angered by this, Michael decides to play along with Jim and Dwight's prank, congratulating Packer and letting him quit to head out to the nonexistent job offer. 
==Season 8==
In Tallahassee, Packer competes with Dwight for a vice president position. Nellie chooses Dwight. Shortly after, Robert California reveals to Jim that he is going to fire Dwight for Nellie's incompetence. Jim protects Dwight, and Packer is fired in his place, after 20 years at Dunder Mifflin-Sabre. 
==Season 9==
Todd returns to the Scranton branch claiming to be on step 8 of Alcoholics Anonymous and step 9 of Narcotics Anonymous. He apologizes to several people but includes veiled insults. He gives everyone cupcakes to which people seem ready to forgive him, but Pam prevents everyone from accepting them as she feels that Packer has been so mean to them that a cupcake should not win them over. Todd later talks to Clark and gives him a cupcake as well. Packer later leaves after everyone eats the cupcakes and reveals that he laced them all with various drugs, some legal and some illegal, as payback for his firing. He proudly tells the cameras this as he sits on his convertible (illegally parked in between a handicapped spot and a no-parking zone), his license plate reading "WLHUNG" still there, but instead of his usual red Corvette, he now drives a blue one.
Later, he drives to Philadelphia to give cupcakes to Daryl and Jim.
