Green Bay Packers: 3 Free Agents to Target this Offseason
By Paul Bretl
In order to make another Super Bowl push, the Green Bay Packers will have to make a move or two in free agency. Here are three potential targets.
In just one year the Green Bay Packers went from missing the playoffs for the second consecutive season all the way to the NFC Championship with a 13-3 regular season record. And a big reason for their success, was because of the free agents GM Brian Gutekunst landed last offseason.
However, as good as last season was, we saw in the NFC Championship game against the San Francisco 49ers just how far this Packers team still has to go if they want to be considered true Super Bowl contenders.
Unfortunately, given that at the moment Green Bay has just under $22 million in available cap space according to Spotrac, we likely aren’t going to see four splash signings like they did in 2019. Although they can free up an additional $12 million or so by moving on from Jimmy Graham and Lane Taylor.
And even though the Packers may have to be more cap conscious this offseason, the hope is that they can still bring in a high-level free agent or two at one of their positions of need. Which of course includes wide receiver, inside linebacker, interior defensive lineman, and possibly tackle depending on what happens with Bryan Bulaga.
So with the free agency period not too far off, let’s take a look at three players that the Green Bay Packers could target this offseason.
