Five moves that will make the Green Bay Packers Super Bowl contenders
By Paul Bretl
It’s a big offseason for the Green Bay Packers and between free agency and the draft, this is what they have to do to be Super Bowl contenders once again.
While all offseasons are important, this one for the Green Bay Packers is absolutely critical and must get them back to their winning ways. After two disappointing seasons in a row, general manager, Brian Gutekunst finds himself in the middle of a mini-rebuild that he is trying to conduct on the fly, making sure another season with Aaron Rodgers is not wasted.
Although it has been two seasons since the Green Bay Packers were in the playoffs, I do not think that they are that far off from returning. They’ve overhauled most of the pre-existing coaching staff and now it is time for Gutekunst to be active in free agency and take advantage of the draft picks that they have in the top 50.
Four of the five moves on this list involve free agent signings that I find to be quite realistic. They address key positional needs while keeping in mind the Packers salary cap that they have to work with. Without further ado, here is how the Green Bay Packers become Super Bowl contenders once again.
