2. Sign Dez Bryant

There’s been a lot said and written about Dez Bryant this offseason and his potential connection with the Green Bay Packers. However, there’s no argument that he could join this team and instantly become the third-most talented receiver on the roster.

Even with the flashes of the younger players and Bryant’s struggles in recent years, he still provides the Packers with the best on the field chance to win. Bryan is uber-competitive and would push the young guys to work harder.

Given that the Packers only have about $5 million remaining, they use most of it on Bryant by signing him to a one-year $3 million deal. That may be nothing compared to what he’s used to, but Green Bay is able to leverage his empty visit to Cleveland into a better deal for their team.
