Green Bay Packers: 10 players entering contract years

8. Kyler Fackrell

The 2016 draft class was somewhat successful in that it produced a number of players who are at least still with the team. Although most of them aren’t starters, they provide depth at various positions. Kyler Fackrell certainly fits that bill, as he was a third-round selection in that class.

Fackrell had a breakout season of sorts in 2018 when he recorded 10.5 sacks. That may look like a big number, but the majority of those fell into his lap. Literally. He’ll be hard-pressed to get anything close to 10.5 sacks next year, but he’ll still have a chance to stick around Green Bay as a depth piece in the future.

7. Dean Lowry

Lowry is like the anti-Fackrell, at least on paper. His numbers don’t jump out at you and he will hardly have his name called on the broadcast. However, he’s as solid as they come and a great backup along the defensive line. He keeps the Packers’ starters fresh and plays quality minutes along the line. The Packers would love to have Lowry back after this season, as long as it comes at a reasonable price.
