4. Geronimo Allison

Geronimo Allison will be looking to get PAID following the 2019 season. He was off to a terrific start last year, before missing most of the season with an injury. Allison showed great chemistry with Aaron Rodgers and might be the second receiving option this Packers’ team is looking for. He’s only making $2.45 million this year, but look for the wide receiver to search for a big payday in free agency.

3. Blake Martinez

Blake Martinez is the entire middle linebacker position in Green Bay. He’s the only capable player at the spot and the Packers better hope he stays healthy for the entire year. If not, they are in big trouble. That alone should give Martinez plenty of negotiating power in the offseason.

He’s the fifth, final and best member of the 2016 draft class on this list. Martinez has really come into his own in recent seasons when he’s accrued at least 142 tackles in each of the past two seasons. Expect more of the same to continue, as he also looks to improve his game-changing abilities such as getting after the quarterback and forcing turnovers.
