Last year general manager Brian Gutekunst did a nice job of revamping the Green Bay Packers cornerback position with the additions of Jaire Alexander, Josh Jackson, Tony Brown and Bashaud Breeland. But now it is time to solidify the backend of the secondary.

Amos burst on to the scene for the Chicago Bears in 2017 and had an even better year in 2018 where he recorded 73 total tackles, nine pass deflections, and two interceptions. He was also rated as the eighth-best safety in the NFL by Pro Football Focus (PFF).

It’s Amos’ range that makes him an effective safety and very good in coverage. He has the ability to cover tight ends or slot receivers on the short to intermediate routes. In fact, he led all safeties in coverage snaps last season and was once again rated very highly by PFF in that skill set which the Green Bay Packers desperately need on the backend of the secondary.

With Landon Collins receiving a huge contract and Earl Thomas reportedly looking for $14 million or more per year, Amos’ projected annual salary of $8 million is very reasonable and would give the Packers the difference maker at safety that they need.
